fancontrol-gui VS nbfc-linux

https://github.com/Maldela/fancontrol-gui/commit/1667dc46651...

However, I don't want my locale to reflect all units this way.

I might try overriding the locale for this single process, however I it was just easier for me to compile a patched version of the code that was available on the Arch User Repository already.

Though I have no idea why the git version defaults to Celsius.

Have you tried using fancontrol-gui? It was a little confusing to set up at first but it worked for me.

Have you tried using fan control/fan control-gui? I’m fairly sure I’ve seen in the past it has support for 0 rpm: https://github.com/Maldela/fancontrol-gui

It does this for every fan, then you tell it the minimum and maximum PWM values for each fan, and the start/stop temperatures, and which thermal sensor to use for its fan curve, but you don't have to fuck with all that, cause you can install fancontrol-gui, which is just a fancy GUI front-end to easily interact with the whole thing and set up the configuration. Go to https://github.com/Maldela/fancontrol-gui, and copy the first command for Ubuntu to install the dependencies, then the second Ubuntu-labeled block of commands to clone, build and install the project. That's all you gotta do, then reboot (or run sudo systemctl daemon-reload) and launch fancontrol-gui. Set up your curves and restart the systemd service and tell it to run at boot or whatever.

There is lm-sensors which has fancontrol. GUI-edition

Fancontrol-gui should get the job done.

Are you talking about this (https://github.com/Maldela/fancontrol-gui)?

Does this work for every laptop, or just tuxedos? I'm currently using nbfc linux

For laptops there's nbfc or its rewrite nbfc-linux.

https://github.com/nbfc-linux/nbfc-linux, it's serving me well

Obviously replace Your Laptop Model with your actual laptop model, from this list https://github.com/nbfc-linux/nbfc-linux/tree/main/share/nbfc/configs

https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc I've used this in the past. The only part I don't like is it uses Mono, although it worked fine for me. There is also a linux port for this : https://github.com/nbfc-linux/nbfc-linux, but I'm having trouble with it.

sorry I'm not much of a hardware guy at all, so that lspci output is kind of alien to me... could the Serial Controller have anything to do with the fan...? btw, I forgot to mention that while I cannot get the fan speed in rpm, I could control it with nbfc-linux by using the pre-made profile for either the 8460p or 8460w iirc, on Artix Linux. Fairly recently made a clean install of Mint, though. Thanks for your help!

git clone https://github.com/nbfc-linux/nbfc-linux.git cd nbfc-linux make && sudo make install

Exactly! I use config for Acer Predator G3-572. If that won't work just try some Acer configs it shoud work. Here's the github repo for nbfc-linux: https://github.com/nbfc-linux/nbfc-linux
