zcfan not working on Arch

Pyntux commented 3 months ago

I do not know what can be problem, zcfan is installed from AUR, service enabled and the file:

/etc/modprobe.d/99-fancontrol.conf

is created with:

options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1

systemctl status zcfan:

systemctl status zcfan.service 
× zcfan.service - Zero-configuration fan control for ThinkPad
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system
/zcfan.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

sudo zcfan:

[CFG] At 90C fan is set to maximum
[CFG] At 80C fan is set to medium
[CFG] At 70C fan is set to low
[ERR] level "full-speed" not supported, using level 7
[ERR] /proc/acpi/ibm/fan: write: Invalid argument (did you enable fan_control=1?)
[ERR] Quitting due to failure during first run

P.S. When I put "thinkpad_acpi.fan_control=1" in kernel line of systemd-boot entry, everything works fine. Also everything works fine when manual load thinkpad_acpi module with fan_control=1 and than start zcfan.

I have the same problem, Have you find a solution with systemd?

Pyntux commented 3 months ago

Yes, just put "options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1" in kernel line of your bootloader...

You need to regenerate the initramfs to include the .conf file. Try sudo mkinitcpio -P on your terminal.

See notes on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_module#Using_files_in_/etc/modprobe.d/

This is solved :) On Debian you do not need to regenerate...
