| metroid1 | hey, i am running xubuntu 10.10 on a thinkpad t61. it seems to be overheating. does anyone know how to control the fan settings? | 00:39 |
|---|---|---|
| toga | Try 'fancontrol' | 00:54 |
| metroid1 | toga: i have it installed but i can't seem to get it to work | 00:56 |
| toga | You need pwmcontrol to configure fancontrol, also lm-sensors | 00:57 |
| metroid1 | oh, okay. i will do that now. | 00:58 |
| metroid1 | btw, here is my terminal output: | 00:58 |
| metroid1 | ~$ fancontrol | 00:58 |
| metroid1 | Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ... | 00:58 |
| metroid1 | Error: Can't read configuration file | 00:58 |
| toga | I use gkrellm to watch my fans | 00:58 |
| toga | Run pwmcontrol first | 00:59 |
| metroid1 | i have seen gkrellm in the repos -- you can change fan settings with it? | 00:59 |
| toga | No, but it displays fan speeds all of the time, a fan going to zero rpm can set off an alarm | 01:00 |
| toga | a low rpm can set an alarm too. | 01:02 |
| metroid1 | is this spelled correctly? | 01:03 |
| metroid1 | pwmcontrol | 01:03 |
| metroid1 | i can't find it in the repos | 01:03 |
| toga | Sorry pwmconfig | 01:04 |
| toga | pwmconfig is part of fancontrol | 01:06 |
| metroid1 | do i have to run pwmconfig first? | 01:07 |
| toga | As far as I can see. | 01:07 |
| metroid1 | i will give it a try | 01:07 |
| toga | There's a man page for it. | 01:08 |
| metroid1 | ok thanks | 01:09 |

| JDogg420 | hello need help on why wobble windows is a little slow and laggs a little bit | 01:37 |
| JDogg420 | it was way faster using kde | 01:37 |
| metroid1 | i am attempting to follow this howto for Thinkpad Fan control here:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1586094&highlight=thinkpad+t61+fan+settings in post #5 but when i get to step 4: dpkg-deb -D --build tpfan-admin_0.96-ubuntu1_all i get this output in my terminal: | 01:40 |
| metroid1 | dpkg-deb: failed to open package info file `tpfan-admin_0.96-ubuntu1_all/DEBIAN/control' for reading: No such file or directory | 01:41 |
| metroid1 | it looks to me like it is saying that the file called 'control' doesn't exist but i know that it does. i am probably missing something reasonably simple, any ideas? | 01:42 |
| metroid1 | other folks in the thread seem to have had no problems so i am sure i am just missing something small | 01:47 |
| toga | I don't know any more than I already gave you, as I don't run fancontrol | 01:50 |
| metroid1 | toga: i appreciate all the help you gave me. thanks again. | 01:53 |
| toga | You welcome | 01:53 |
| toga | You're | 01:53 |

| coz_ | knome, extras that may be chosen ... defaults ones | 19:28 |
| coz_ | knome, maybe easier to ask if all of the wallpapers for natty have been chosen in xubuntu | 19:29 |
