Steps to Reproduce

Open and close the application

Additional Information

Operating system

Zorin OS 17.2 Core

fan-control version

24.8.23 from flathub

Hum, i saw this kind of error on my PC as well. It's weird that the app can modify the fan speed if we can't write in the first place.

Could you post the output of ll /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon7/pwm* ? (the number 7 can varies between motherboard)

Also, when you haven't yet use fan-control, was the fans sped up ? It's expected that when the app is closed, the fan speed go back to their initial state (i plan to implement a tray icon for running in background).

Here's my output from ll /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon3/pwm*

After boot (before opening fancontrol for the first time or if I don't open fancontrol at all) the fans use the temperature-curve configured in UEFI.
