Package: fancontrol Version: 1:3.4.0-4 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
it would be nice, if you could add a default configuration file (/etc/fancontrol) to the package. This is useful, when used in livefile systems. In my case, I am regularly building a kali livefile dvd for my EEEPC, who needs fancontrol and eeepc-acpi-scripts (so fancontrol or eeepc-acpi-scripts should have the related dependency). After install, it is necessary to use pwmconfig, to create /etc/fancontrol. Without it, the fan will not run, and the cpu can be overheated. So, the solution is the following: 1. Build the livefile with the command "acpi_osi=Linux" at grub (my part) 2. Take care of installing fancontrol and eeepc-acpi-scripts (my part) 3. Create /etc/fancontrol at installation (your part) If you like, you can use mine for example, it is running fine on EEEPC. Here it is: ----- # Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost INTERVAL=5 DEVPATH=hwmon0= hwmon2=devices/platform/eeepc DEVNAME=hwmon0=acpitz hwmon2=eeepc FCTEMPS= hwmon2/pwm1=hwmon0/temp1_input FCFANS= hwmon2/pwm1= MINTEMP= hwmon2/pwm1=55 MAXTEMP= hwmon2/pwm1=65 MINSTART= hwmon2/pwm1=50 MINSTOP= hwmon2/pwm1=35 MINPWM= hwmon2/pwm1=0 MAXPWM= hwmon2/pwm1=255 --- Thank you for your help!
