ERROR: TpSensorDriver #33

Closed Sulter closed 7 years ago

Sulter commented 7 years ago

When I'm trying to run thinkfan I get the following message:

root@sulter:~# thinkfan -c /etc/thinkfan.conf

ERROR: TpSensorDriver: Initializing sensor in /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal: Succes

I'm using the default config file:

(0, 0, 55) (1, 50, 60) (2, 55, 61) (3, 56, 63) (4, 57, 65) (5, 59, 66) (7, 63, 32767)

I'm able to manipulate /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal manually without any problems.

Which version are you using?

Sulter commented 7 years ago

Commit 3b4589cb31e95c48327750f006847f00e32c2668 The newest version. I guess I should try the release instead?

Sulter commented 7 years ago

I can confirm that 1.0 beta3 has the same issue, while 1.0 beta1 works just fine.

knochenhans commented 7 years ago

Hi, not sure if that helps, but I got exactly the same behaviour here (L420), so latest release gives me the TpSensorDriver error while 1.0 beta1 works without problems.

Dumb question: Does /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal even exist? I'm asking because on recent systems, it usually doesn't exist any more...

knochenhans commented 7 years ago

It exists for me (using kernel 4.10.8):

cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal
temperatures:   47 0 47 0 31 54 24 54

Well, sorry it took so long, but to test this I actually had to dig an old T42 from the shelves ;-) Anyways, the problem should be fixed now in the current master.

vmatare commented 7 years ago

Closing for lack of feedback after the fix was pushed.
