[W] Bad kernel config: you need CONFIG_DEVMEM=y. #207

Open kmarf opened 4 years ago

First, many thanks for providing this tool.

When tested on RHEL7.7 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480p I get this warning message if I try to run the command manually - [W] Bad kernel config: you need CONFIG_DEVMEM=y.

I also get the following info lines so unsure if the above warning matters or not - [I] Detected CPU architecture: Intel Kaby Lake (R) [I] Loading config file. [I] Starting main loop.

Also just FYI - I've had some success with the following software for testing manually setting different fan speeds - https://github.com/ForgedTurbo/ThinkPad-Fan-Control

The commands I used to setup were based on the Fedora ones -

In case it might help, some messages seen during install were "You are using pip version 9.0.3, however version 20.1.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command." and "Failed building wheel for PyGObject" but again I think those were just warnings rather than fatal errors?
