Need help for figuring out whats wrong GE62 6QE

[kamyd]

Hi and Thanks a lot for your great work and for helping people like me i use xubuntu 19.04 and i used your guide for other distros to copy the files in right directories but when i use command sudo isw -r it ask for profile name and i cant figure out what it is and this is my isw -c: EC dump 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

I have GE62 6QE Apache pro and i really need to be able to control my fan speed Thank you in advance i will gladly provide any other file that is needed

Hmmm, Does /sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io exist ?

ls -la /sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io

is od available ?

which od

If both response are yes, can you try:

sudo od -A x -t x1 /sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io

For available profile name, check /etc/isw.conf:

$ cat /etc/isw.conf | grep "\[.*\]" | grep -v "\#"
[GS40_6QE_DEFAULT]
[GS40_6QE_YO]
[GS65_8SG_DEFAULT]
[GS65_8RF_DEFAULT]

First thanks a lot please check if i done this right i copied all the files according to line 21 to 25 of the PKGBUILD then ran modprobe ec_sys write_support=1 is this right?

and now: yes both exist

when i run sudo od -A x -t x1 /sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io it gives operation not permitted

[YoyPa]

For option -c and -r configuring ec_sys is not necessary, it's only for -s and -w. And according to your ls -la, ec_sys --write_support=1 is correctly set. It's clearly a permission problem, and I guess it's related to sudo and /etc/sudoers. You can try as root (su root) and if it work you know where to look.

wow man thank you so much your advice gave me a hint and that not permitted error was because of my secure-boot i disabled it and its fixed now:

now what should i do to change my fan speeds? ( I know you wrote how but i didnt quit understand how) i should change one of those profiles fan speed to my need and run isw -w profile name? and if i restart the system these changes will be gone right?

[kamyd]

and this is my isw -c i think you need it to guide me

Thank you again

Nice to know that secure boot can prevent access to EC. I will add GE62_6QE_DEFAULT in isw.conf, need around 15min.

Cool and Thank you again I didnt expect that either , once on debian 9 i got the same error for something completely different and later i figured it was caused by secure boot and since its based on debian i though it can help.

There is just one thing that i dont understand: after copying all the files from cloned folder i get 'system program problem detected' after each boot and give me a option to report , i dont understand whats causing this , and i dont get that error before copying files. do you have any idea?

not that i care much about it

Edit isw.conf, I made GE62_6QE_DEFAULT profile. You can either copy paste it and rename it GE62_6QE_KAMYAR then edit values or directly edit GE62_6QE_DEFAULT. temp are in °C and fan_speed in %.

# cpu fan will spin at fan_speed_0:
#       if realtime_cpu_temp is above temp_0
#           fan_speed_1 is applied
#       if realtime_cpu_temp is above temp_1
#           fan_speed_2 is applied
#       [...]

and if i restart the system these changes will be gone right?

EC is reset on PowerSourceChange/Suspend/Hibernate/Reboot. You can reapply on startup via systemd service (see bottom of readme).

system program problem detected

I never encountered this, and need more info, maybe in journalctl or dmesg. EDIT: seems to be an ubuntu specific feature https://itsfoss.com/how-to-fix-system-program-problem-detected-ubuntu/ popup appear because of existing file in /var/crash/

You just made my day Thank you so so much

its working perfectly

and my friend has another msi notebook the last time i checked our ec firmware name was the same i will test my profile on his system and report back to add its name to supported devices

and lastly thank you again for your great work

Could you add a profile for the GP65 Leopard 9SD based on this:
