15:26:26 < mjg59> siretart: Thinkpads don't export fans via acpi
15:26:28 < mjg59> It's notabug
15:27:10 < mjg59> There's a thermal issue on Thinkpads that's been fixed
upstream
15:27:41 < pwnguin> alternatively, just spam keywords till mjg notices
15:30:33 < siretart> mjg59: err, did this change from hardy?
15:31:02 < mjg59> siretart: No
15:31:08 < siretart> mjg59: what is today's way of controlling fans on
thinkpads?
15:31:28 < mjg59> thinkpad-acpi will do it if you ask to it really hard
15:32:59 < siretart> so no way of controlling it somehow interactively?
15:33:09 < mjg59> Only using thinkpad-acpi
15:33:10 < siretart> I thought of echo'ing stuff to /proc
15:34:51 < siretart> mjg59: with 'asking it really hard' do you mean the option
'fan_control=1'?
15:41:10 < mjg59> siretart: Yeah
15:42:33 < shenki> siretart: the fun happens in /proc/acpi/ibm
15:42:42 < shenki> siretart: https://launchpad.net/tp-fan is handy too
15:43:07 < mjg59> Bear in mind that the X60 handles high temperatures by
slowing down the CPU in firmware
15:43:19 < mjg59> That's what was broken at various points
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
