Public bug reported:
WARNING, the package reported by ubuntu-bug is "lm-sensors", but
pwmconfig and fancontrol are installed by "fancontrol" package.
When running pwmconfig, after the detection step you can configure min/max
temp. If you answer 't' when prompted
"Enter the minimum PWM value (0-255)
at which the fan STOPS spinning (press t to test) (100):"
...you can get the following error :
"cat: hwmon2/fan4_input+hwmon2/fan3_input+hwmon2/fan2_input: Aucun fichier ou
dossier de ce type
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: ligne 717 : [: -gt : opérateur unaire attendu"
If you ask pwmconfig to show the generated config, you can read
"Settings for hwmon2/pwm2:
Depends on hwmon1/temp1_input
Controls hwmon2/fan4_input+hwmon2/fan3_input+hwmon2/fan2_input"
...which is exactly the FCFANS value in /etc/fancontrol:
"FCFANS=hwmon2/pwm2=hwmon2/fan4_input+hwmon2/fan3_input+hwmon2/fan2_input
hwmon2/pwm1=hwmon2/fan1_input"
The error occurring during PWM value test is due to this wrong path value with
'+' sign.
This kind of value is generated when more than one fan is found on the same
hwmonX/pwmY. On my computer, hwmon2 is coretemp-related, and hwmon2/pwm2 is
controlling 4 fans.
The generated path with '+' doesn't exist, hence pwmconfig test scripts
and fancontrol service should split the path using '+' as separator char
to recover right paths to fanX_input files.
I checked what I have under "/sys/class/hwmon/", everything is fine: I
can find all hwmon/fan and pwm items formerly detected by pwmconfig.
So the bug is just that fancontrol and pwmconfig scripts are not able to
read the FCFANS value they generated in case of more than one fan by
"pwm" !
