Fan Controls not saving Nor Applying #49

Closed lbibass closed 3 years ago

lbibass commented 3 years ago

Whenever I generate fan profiles, they do not work. There is no change in the fanspeed. upon reboot, all the profiles are lost and /etc/fancontrol is erased and rewritten. No idea what is going on. Ubuntu 20.10, Asus X570-i gaming.

Please start the app from terminal and tell me what the output is when you press the apply button.

I'm trying to start the app from the terminal, but it keeps saying Fancontrol-GUI: Command not found.

The binary name is fancontrol_gui

Thank you! Actually, it seems to be working now? Not sure what issue I was having before. Thanks for the tip.

By the way, do you think you could add more points for adjustment? Two seems a little... limited.

Maldela commented 3 years ago

The two points are a limitation of the fancontrol script, which is not part of this project. But I'm working on a replacement for that with much more funcionality.

lbibass commented 3 years ago

Alright, cool. One other thing though, is that the fan controls and profiles aren't saving across restarts. I've saved a profile, but every time I reboot it gets reset and I can't access it anymore. Do you have any ideas?

Maldela commented 3 years ago

Does the profile survive if you close the app and start it again?

Does the profile survive if you close the app and start it again?

yes, the profile stays. It only has an issue if I reboot into windows, and then boot back. Then I get an error message saying "Invalid Temp Entry: '(then it's some sensor, it changes every time)'

Then my profile is erased, but only sometimes. it depends on which, or how many errors I get.

Maldela commented 3 years ago

Seems like you are running into this problem. Every time this happens your profiles become invalid. This will be fixed in my fancontrol replacement later.

Ah, alright! Thanks for the help!
