[00:39] 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? [00:54] Try 'fancontrol' [00:56] toga: i have it installed but i can't seem to get it to work [00:57] You need pwmcontrol to configure fancontrol, also lm-sensors [00:58] oh, okay. i will do that now. [00:58] btw, here is my terminal output: [00:58] ~$ fancontrol [00:58] Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ... [00:58] Error: Can't read configuration file [00:58] I use gkrellm to watch my fans [00:59] Run pwmcontrol first [00:59] i have seen gkrellm in the repos -- you can change fan settings with it? [01:00] No, but it displays fan speeds all of the time, a fan going to zero rpm can set off an alarm [01:02] a low rpm can set an alarm too. [01:03] is this spelled correctly? [01:03] pwmcontrol [01:03] i can't find it in the repos [01:04] Sorry pwmconfig [01:06] pwmconfig is part of fancontrol [01:07] do i have to run pwmconfig first? [01:07] As far as I can see. [01:07] i will give it a try [01:08] There's a man page for it. [01:09] ok thanks === q_a_z_steve is now known as zz_q_a_z_steve [01:37] hello need help on why wobble windows is a little slow and laggs a little bit [01:37] it was way faster using kde [01:40] 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: [01:41] dpkg-deb: failed to open package info file `tpfan-admin_0.96-ubuntu1_all/DEBIAN/control' for reading: No such file or directory [01:42] 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? [01:47] other folks in the thread seem to have had no problems so i am sure i am just missing something small [01:50] I don't know any more than I already gave you, as I don't run fancontrol [01:53] toga: i appreciate all the help you gave me. thanks again.

[06:32] yep [06:32] ok [06:32] it won't love this much but should work [06:32] I wonder if [06:33] !thunar [06:33] Thunar is a file manager for !Xfce. It is a lightweight alternative to !Nautilus and is quite similar. More info at: http://thunar.xfce.org/index.html - Want to Replace Nautilus with Thunar?
