Openrc service doesn't always start fan on a startup.

[Giger22]

Amdfand service sometimes requires manual start (sudo amdfand in terminal) after system startup. I have no idea why fans sometimes start spinning and other time doesn't. I have this in a config file so temperature settings aren't an explanation to this problem.

[[speed_matrix]] temp = 4.0 speed = 10.0

Services... rc-update -a amdfand | default

Hi Giger22.

How many graphics card do you have? Can you give me any system logs related to boot?

[Giger22]

I have one GPU (AMD RX 5700 XT). Do you mean rc.conf?

This is just after startup when amdfand did not start.

Ok, I had to reinstall my system and it seems that fans start every single time.
