Update for Linux Mint 20? #1

Open chafey opened 3 years ago

Does this work with Linux Mint 20? If not, can it be updated?

palday commented 3 years ago

Based on my experience, the answer is unfortunately no.

But now I've figured out what needs to be done.

First, follow the instructions for 19.2:

wget https://fit-iot.com/files/download/airtop/sw/I3M/Linux/airtop-fpsvc_3.0-2.deb
sudo dpkg -i airtop-fpsvc_3.0-2.deb

Then fix an issue in the library paths before rebooting:

lib_path="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"
[ -e $lib_path/libsensors.so.4 ] || sudo ln -s $lib_path/libsensors.so.*.0.0 $lib_path/libsensors.so.4

Then everything works on LM20.

And yet another update: there are instructions for Linux Mint 20 from CompuLab, including a few other things that were hard to get right on my own (like the audio jack).

Yeah, thank you for finding this information! I followed the official instructions, but my system hangs on bootup when trying to start gpu-thermald via rc.local. I am running on Pop!OS 20.04 so there could be some compatibility issue of some type. I commented out gpu-thermald in rc.local for now, and the front panel is working.
