I followed this guide about how to control fan speed in Ubuntu, but it doesn't work with my laptop (Dell Inspiron 15r).
I installed lm-sensors and fancontrol
packages. Then I configured lm-sensors by typing:
sudo sensors-detect
and I answered YES to all questions. At the end I had this message:
Driver
coretemp': * Chip
Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
----cut here----
#Chip drivers
coretemp
----cut here----
- I added the suggested lines to
/etc/modules
. - I rebooted my laptop.
Now the problem: when I try to configure fancontrol typing:
sudo pwmconfig
I get an error:
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
I spent most of the day looking for a solution but I had no luck.
What should I do now?
