I was able to install tpfand
and tpfan-admin
by following the instructions posted here. However, I'm unable to finish all the instructions.
After installing ThinkPad Fan Control I referred to the instructions again and did this:
Now in the terminal again: Code:
sudo gedit /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/tpfand/settings.py
A text file (gedit) opens up but the file is blank so I can't continue to the next step which is:
Find the lines 170-174 and replace:
Code: self.product_id = None self.product_name = None self.product_pretty_vendor = None self.product_pretty_name = None self.product_pretty_id = None
In addition, when I click on ThinkPad Fan Control this message appears despite being able to install tpfand:
Also, when I try sudo thinkfan
I get this message:

I found this post on how to control ThinkPad fan speed for T430, but I got confused on steps 6 and 7 so I aborted my experiment to do it.
Is there a way to solve this? I hope someone can help me.
I'm using ThinkPad R61i 12.04 64-bit, Intel T5870 4GB RAM, 160 GB HDD.
