Solution: Instead of 64, use 127. Thanks
Original post.
I updated from Pop 20.10 to 21.04 (same as ubuntu as far as packages are concerned) and thinkfan has been also updated.
Not sure what version was running before, but I was using the thinkfan.conf file for configuration, rather than the newer .yaml that only found out exists today.

This does not obviously work now, so I've edited the
yaml
file looks like this:However if I set speed 64, thinkfan complains that 64 is not supported by
tpacpi
.As a result I am not limited to speed 7, around 2900rpm down from 3400rpm at speed 64.
Speed 64 was never reported as supported in
`/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
, which still contains:However
`echo level 64 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
works fine, and the fan goes up to the required high speed.Any idea how to get speed 64 back in Thinkfan?
Thanks in advance.
