Maldela / fancontrol-gui

GUI for Fancontrol. It uses the KAuth module of the KDE Frameworks 5 to write the generated config file. Furthermore it communicates with systemd via dbus to control the fancontrol service. If you want to compile without systemd support set the -DNO_SYSTEMD option.

Fancontrol-Gui/LM-sensor doesn't seem to install fancontrol "service" Ubuntu 20.04 #46

So, i tried multiple times to "enable service" and start service on the GUI but it didn't seem to do anything. just took a long time and then continued.

Finally after trying to figure out where is this fancontrol service, I did apt search fancontrol and there it was, so I installed it.

Yes I'm a newb :) I just can't make heads or tails of this, it worked on my old install ubuntu 19.10 but for some reason I haven't gotten it to work on any ubuntu 20.04 installs. I copypasted all the instructions from readme.

So just now, at time of writing I removed the /etc/fancontrol file and it still says "some settings missing" failing to start.

Don't remove the /etc/fancontrol file. You need to configure at least one of your fans with either fancontrol_gui or pwmconfig. A /etc/fancontrol configuration file without at least one configured fan will get rejected by the fancontrol service.

Well it works now, honestly i don't know what changed maybe reboot.

edit, also i pushed all the buttons.. a feature request when you push "train PWM (Test start and stop values)" it actually opens a window, as it seem like it's doing nothing.
