Refusing to run without usable config file! #126

Closed kendoori closed 3 years ago

kendoori commented 3 years ago

Am running TF on Linux Mint 20.1

Running: service thinkfan status yields the following

root@kenny-ThinkPad-T480: -home-kenny_059

My config file was built from this list root@kenny-ThinkPad-T480: -home-kenny_061

My thinkfan.conf looks like this: root@kenny-ThinkPad-T480: -home-kenny_060

FYI, the config here worked: https://gist.github.com/Yatoom/1c80b8afe7fa47a938d3b667ce234559#gistcomment-3306472

This looks a lot like thinkfan might be trying to start before the necessary modules have been loaded. That said, the 0.9.1 release is ancient, so please try with a newer version (and tell your distribution to update the thinkfan package). If the problem persists with the latest thinkfan release, you're probably experiencing issue #118. So then you'd want to read up on #118 and try the workarounds mentioned there until I've found the time to implement a proper fix.
