7 years ago Hm, it's strange that there's no error being logged. Try running journalctl -xe as the message states after trying to start thinkfan. If that doesn't reveal any error message as well, try running thinkfan directly on the terminal: thinkfan -n. That should definitely give some kind of hint about what's going wrong.

7 years ago Thanks for the quick response;
You were right; there was a problem with my config file. Which I fixed; but I'm still experiencing the problem in getting it to run automatically. It appears to run fine if I do sudo thinkfan ;; (Daemon PID: 22285) ;; but then how can I have this run on startup?

7 years ago Well, once you fixed your config file, everything should be fine. I don't use Ubuntu, so I don't know how you're supposed to enable a service on bootup there. However on any halfways compliant Linux that runs systemd, it should suffice to enable the systemd service:
systemctl enable thinkfan

7 years ago It's working now! Thanks for your help... what a great piece of software you've written. You can close out this issue.
Followed http://askubuntu.com/questions/790576/thinkfan-does-not-start-automatically as a guide, namely ran sudo systemctl enable thinkfan.service ; and sudo systemctl enable thinkfan
But now when I try to run [I] ✘ / sudo /etc/init.d/thinkfan start /etc/init.d/thinkfan: 10: /etc/default/thinkfan: DAEMON_ARGS: not found Starting thinkfan (via systemctl): thinkfan.serviceJob for thinkfan.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status thinkfan.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. failed!
