yeah, in the current thinkfan releases, the optional
keyword doesn't affect startup. So when thinkfan starts for the first time, all sensors have to be available, including the optional
ones. However, a fix for that is currently in development in the init_retries
branch. You can go try it if you want to help out. It's currently in a "works for me" state, i.e. I'm running it on my daily system, but there's probably still some bugs in there that I haven't noticed yet and also some refinements & cleanup I need to do before merging it into the master
branch.
@pblack476 This should be fixed in the current master
now. I'd appreciate a notice if you find that it works for you now ;-)
It works now ;)
I have an optimus enabled laptop and thinkfan only works when I engage my nVidia card. When I boot using just the iGPU
thinkfan status
reportsno nvml device found
which indicates that it's exiting when searching for a nvml device that is not enabled.I have used the optional keyword in the nvml sensor (as below) but it does not seem to ignore it if its not found.
Not a huge issue since I don't really need thinkfan when using iGPU only, but still would like the option.
Here is my thinkfan.yaml:
