mbpfan does not detect the applesmc plugin #259

Open Dizspy opened 1 year ago

Dizspy commented 1 year ago

I have Mac mini 2018 (Macmini8,1)

I've installed proxmox with custom linux kernel v5.19.17-1 for T2 support https://github.com/AdityaGarg8/pve-edge-kernel-t2

applesmc plugin successfully loaded root@proxmox:/# lsmod |grep smc applesmc 32768 0

sensors are successfully detecting all the values: root@proxmox:/# sensors applesmc-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface fan1: 2530 RPM (min = 1700 RPM, max = 4922 RPM) TA0V: +33.8°C TC0F: +84.0°C TC0P: +56.8°C TC1C: +69.0°C TC2C: +68.0°C TC3C: +66.0°C TC4C: +70.0°C TC5C: +66.0°C TC6C: +64.0°C TCGC: +62.0°C TCSA: +66.0°C TCXC: +69.5°C TCaP: +58.5°C TH0F: +51.8°C TH0a: +51.8°C TH0b: +50.2°C TIED: +61.5°C TM0P: +56.2°C TM0V: +62.8°C TPCD: +73.0°C TPSD: +55.2°C TS0V: +49.0°C TTTD: +70.8°C TTXD: +75.5°C TW0P: +56.5°C TW1P: +58.8°C TW2P: +59.5°C TaLC: +54.0°C TaRC: +60.0°C

Anyway, mbpfan does not detect the applesmc plugin root@proxmox:/# mbpfan mbpfan needs applesmc support. Please either load it or build it into the kernel. Exiting.

How can I manually point mbpfan to detect the applesmc correctly to make it work?

Upstream mbpfan doesn't yet have the right folder path to work with the patched T2 kernels (#236 ), please have a look at this https://wiki.t2linux.org/guides/fan/ for now.

Thanks. I've managed to patch and make mbpfan for the right folder.

But now there is another issue:

root@proxmox:~# mbpfan -f mbpfan 2.3.0 starting up Writing a new .pid file with value 400758 at: /var/run/mbpfan.pid Successfully written a new .pid file with value 400758 at: /var/run/mbpfan.pid Using new sensor path for kernel >= 3.15.0 or some CentOS versions with kernel 3.10.0 Found hwmon path at /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp Found 7 sensors Found 0 fans mbpfan could not detect any fan. Please contact the developer.

mbpfan could not detect the fan. Despite the fact that 'sensors' detected fan1 successfully.

Hi, @Dizspy some time ago I checked this issue and I had the same problem, it seems that mbpfan could not read the applesmc and only took the coretemp temperature, which was lower than what my applesmc was reading.

I have developed a script that may solve your problem, as it also solved mine https://github.com/zft9xgy/mac-temp2fan-controler the code is still in its first version so it is possible to find some bugs.
