No matter how how hot it gets the fan stays the same. When I had a different
ubuntu-based OS on it I simply followed the directions here:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_control_fan_speed
>To enable fan control, the module parameter fan_control=1 must be given to
thinkpad-acpi.
>For example, in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron), add the following to
/etc/modprobe.d/options: options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
and then do
> echo level 7 | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
In Trisquel 7 however it does not work, and my X60 is always overheated. What
I want is for it to be running at level 7 at all times, on boot, but in
Trisquel I can't get it so even run on command. Instead I get the error
>tee: /proc/acpi/ibm/fan: Invalid argument
So how do I control the fan?
