Hi @romarmorales! :wave:

That does not look like an asus-fan-control related issue. Neither GitPack's, I think. Try search for E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) a bit. You may have broken dpkg on your system. There is a ton of guides of possible fixes on the Internet. Have you looked at them? I would suggest you to follow some trustworthy guide and try it again.

Anyway, what is the output of the following commands?

• dpkg -l dmidecode
• sudo apt-get install -y dmidecode

Thanks, I googled focusing on the wrong string. Turns out it was a dependency issue as I was on a kernel newer than the acpi-call-dkms version would support for ubuntu 20.04. I had to grab the acpi-call-dkms deb file from 20.10. It appears to be working now. For reference, the ASUS model I'm on is the ZenBook Pro Duo UX581.

If asus-fan-control is working on your device, please read contributing.md and create a new issue to make asus-fan-control recognize your device model. You may help others with the same device and you will be declared its first tester. I have put a lot of effort into making contributing easy and straightforward.
