I installed Ubuntu 19.10 on my new Lenovo 14w laptop and I noticed that the fans are not running at all, causing high temps.
I have installed fancontrol
but couldn't figure out the config.
Running pwmconfig
results in an error There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
And lastly, sensors-detect
shows I have AMD Family 15h thermal sensors (driver 'k10temp')
Some posts seem to mention that some Lenovo models have their fans controlled by the UEFI BIOS, however there aren't any such options in my BIOS.
What can I do to get the fan spinning?
Edit: Here's the full sensors-detect
output. Couldn't fit in this post due to character limit
sensors-detect
thinkfan
might be the way to go, I don't have any experience with that. Does/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
exist?/proc/acpi/ibm
folder does not existthinkfan
? What is in/proc/acpi
? thinkfan is acpi based instead of pwm.
