As said in the other mail, we are not going to handle the thousand of machines who need fancontrol, and create one package for each of them, with the risk of overheating hardware. As there is already an eeepc-acpi-scripts package, maybe it can be added there? -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net

This not something possible, actually each machine needs a different configuration file. We do not want to handle the thousands of different configuration which exists in the work, and additionally they might actually conflict and thus break hardware. > This is useful, when used in livefile systems.

At best it will make fancontrol to fail to start on all non-EEEPC machine. At worst it might be incompatible with some other variants of EEEPC. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net

Package: fancontrol Version: 1:3.4.0-4 Followup-For: Bug #860340 Dear Maintainer, if you are willing to add a default configuration to fancontrol or maybe better, build a package for EEEPC maybe names fancontrol-eeepc, here is my improved /etc/fancontrol. This is working well for live-file-cd's as long as there are no related entries in /etc/modules. I saw there is a bug report about, that tells, sensors-detect is changing the sort of the sensors, but on livefile-system this will not happen. So this is working on EEEPC. snip --- # Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost INTERVAL=10 DEVPATH=hwmon0= hwmon1=devices/platform/eeepc DEVNAME=hwmon0=acpitz hwmon1=eeepc FCTEMPS= hwmon1/pwm1=hwmon0/temp1_input FCFANS= hwmon1/pwm1= MINTEMP= hwmon1/pwm1=55 MAXTEMP= hwmon1/pwm1=65 MINSTART= hwmon1/pwm1=50 MINSTOP= hwmon1/pwm1=35 MINPWM= hwmon1/pwm1=0 MAXPWM= hwmon1/pwm1=255 - snap - For the mnoment I am using self made packages with an integrated /etc/fancontrol. By interest, I can send you this package top see, what I changed. Thanks for your work!

Bug#860340: fancontrol: please add configuration file
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!
