Hi, i recently updated to Pop_OS! 20.04, and while trying to working on the GUI, i noticed that it can't found that file, I have already reinstalled asus-fan-control using gitpack but nothing. What can be the issue?

Greifent commented 4 years ago

Reinstalled gitpack, now i don't have the message during the installation of asus-fan-control, but when i run sudo asus-fan-control model-info i have as only output: file /proc/acpi/call does not exist

Hi @Greifent! Please try rebooting your system first. If that does not help, it might be caused by the asus-fan-control service, which does not get loaded or is failing for some reason.

Run sudo systemctl start asus-fan-control.service and try again. If that does not help, run sudo modprobe acpi_call and try again -- now it should work, hopefully.

If there are any error outputs, please include them in the next post. Nevertheless, we need to find out why the error occurs in the first place.

Thanks, I'll try and let you know

I think I understood the problem, i had recently done a kernel update, and it can't found that module in the kernel. Anyway the sudo modprobe acpi_call output is: modprobe: FATAL: Module acpi_call not found in directory /lib/modules/5.6.11-050611-generic

I reverted to the version of the kernel 5.4.0. When I try to install acpi-call I see: Note, selecting 'acpi-call-dkms' instead of 'acpi-call' acpi-call-dkms is already the newest version (1.1.0-5).

And if I do sudo modprobe acpi_call I have: modprobe: FATAL: Module acpi_call not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-7626-generic

Hmmm... does sudo depmod make the difference? :thinking:

Greifent commented 4 years ago

Run sudo depmod, no output, run sudo modprobe acpi_call, same output as before

dominiksalvet commented 4 years ago

Well then... try reinstall the acpi-call-dkms package. If that does not help... do you use secure boot on your device? :thinking: I think it was mentioned somewhere in the issues and it causes problems with loading kernel modules. I could not find the issue, though.

Yesssss, it work, i purged that package, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted and it work. Thanks for the help!
