Just tried the new thinkfan on my L420, and as soon as I try to run it I get
ERROR: /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal: basic_ios::clear: Success
Nothing else is printed, and then it exits.
Hi there,
Thinkfan wasn't compiling on musl so I've whipped up a patch:

Hi, I replaced the 'legacy' thinkfan with your own to be able to poll the temperature of the NVidia card in my T61
However it's not starting - is it 'something obvious' from the info below or should I recompile with debug for a more useful output?
When I launch it I get;
# systemctl start thinkfan Job for thinkfan.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status thinkfan.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

The config file is the simple conf example, no changes.
Feature request:
I'm using thermal_zone
temperatures instead of hwmon
because the paths are more predictable and do not disappear (unlike the temp[0-9]_input
hwmon files). Here are the paths I'm using:
$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone[0-3]/temp
43000
40500
30000
44000
However they might still change order, so I would like to set each sensor by the name instead of the path. Names are stored in the type
files:
$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone[0-3]/type
acpitz
pch_skylake
iwlwifi
x86_pkg_temp
This way I would adjust the parameters more accurately, for example if I want to exclude a specific sensor (for example the iwlwifi
that disappears if wifi is disabled).
;) I tried this now a few times always with the same result

When my temp goes up to 60C and then goes back down to around 44C, the fan level does not drop back down to the appropriate level and stays in disengaged.

Hi,
I'm using thinkfan for a couple of years now on my Lenovo T420s without any issues. Thanks for the great program.
Lately I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.10 and found that the fan was constantly running using the thinkfan version provided by Ubuntu.
So I decided to download 'Thinkfan version: 1.0_beta2' and built it using
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -D USE_NVML:BOOL=ON .
Unfortunately the behaviour stayed the same.
When started with systemctl start thinkfan
the output of 'sensors' is:
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +47.0°C (crit = +97.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0: +53.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0: +53.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +50.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
thinkpad-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1: 3997 RPM
When idle the fan speed usually sicks around 4000 RPM. But as you can see from my '/etc/thinkfan.conf' file at the bottom of this post, the fan should only start at temperatures above 55 degrees.
The output of systemctl status thinkfan
is:
● thinkfan.service - LSB: thinkfan initscript
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/thinkfan; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (exited) since Mi 2016-11-02 11:06:58 AEDT; 47min ago

Nov 02 11:06:58 moon systemd[1]: Started LSB: thinkfan initscript.
Nov 02 11:49:57 moon systemd[1]: Started LSB: thinkfan initscript.
If I now stop thinkfan using systemctl stop thinkfan
and start it using thinkfan -n -b 1 -s 3 -v -v -v -c /etc/thinkfan.conf
you can see the fan to immediately start using the speed levels as defined in '/etc/thinkfan.conf' and thinkfan is working as expected.
# thinkfan -n -b 1 -s 3 -v -v -v -c /etc/thinkfan.conf

Temperatures(bias): 54(0), 56(1), 51(0), 47(0) -> level 1
Temperatures(bias): 50(0), 50(0), 50(0), 48(0)
The systemd service seems to be starting and running correctly, but doesn't seem to be using the settings in '/etc/thinkfan.conf'. Any idea how to solve this issue would be appreciated.

I also tried to compile 0.9.3, but the same issue occurred. I'm new to Linux and compilation so this might just be user error. I'm on a ThinkPad X201 tablet running openSUSE Leap 42.1. gcc version is 4.8.5
The config syntax is quite convoluted and maintaining/fixing the parser takes up way too much time. YAML seems like a good alternative, with an expressive syntax & mature tool support that should reduce maintenance effort considerably.
However, I suppose existing configs will have to be somehow migrated to YAML, so we can't just get rid of the current, messy parser. I don't feel comfortable just dropping support for the current syntax and leaving the problem of migrating configs for the user to deal with.
I'd be grateful for opinions:
well ok it works now but it is crashing after some time ~ 10 minutes

thinkfan is unable to autanatically run on my system now however if i start it after the pc has fully booted up it works so i guess it depends on anything that isn't there at boot

It works normally on my thinkpad X220 with thinkpad_acpi as a module, but crashes when the kernel is compiled with builtin thinkpad_acpi.
Hi,
I have problem with constant level oscillation.
Version:
thinkfan 0.99.0
Here is my config:
hwmon /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input #1
tp_fan /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
{ "level auto"
(30)
(85)
}
{ "level disengaged" # nice idea: "level auto" can also be used.
# but again: only numbers for sysfs.
(75)
(110)
}
Output:
# thinkfan -s1 -n -d -v
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level disengaged

I tried to tune -b
parameter, but it had no effect. Is there something wrong with my configuration or what is happening?
Hi,
I have some trouble setting up thinkfan using complex mode. I am running the latest version of thinkfan on a T500 which provides 16 sensors. However when using the complex configuration file provided by this repo I get the following error message:
root@tp:/etc# /usr/local/sbin/thinkfan
ERROR: /etc/thinkfan.conf:65: Syntax error:
{ level 0 # the fan level
^
As far as I understand I don't need to adjust the provided config file as the number of sensors is the same (16). Did I miss something?
Thanks for this great tool and the support!
Should install default config with another name and then only install an override.conf
with some hints in it if it doesn't already exist.
After hibernating, thinkfan exits because of
thinkfan[994]: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/temp1_input: No such device or address
thinkfan[994]: A sensor has vanished! Exiting since there's no safe way of handling this.
thinkfan[994]: Cleaning up and resetting fan control.
systemd[1]: thinkfan.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: thinkfan.service: Unit entered failed state.
systemd[1]: thinkfan.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
A second later, the sensor is there again. Can this check by thinkfan after hibernation be delayed?
The README recommends to restart thinkfan after suspend. There's a script
https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan/blob/master/rcscripts/systemd/thinkfan-wakeup.service
for systemd, but it does not work. As a layman, it looks like the command ExecStart=/usr/bin/pkill -usr2 thinkfan
kills thinkfan, but it indeed restarts thinkfan?
thinkfan [ crashed ]
It also does not seem to start at all as it does not show up in ps aux.
Hi! My Lenovo Thinkpad S430 suffers from overheating and i wanted to use thinkfan for it.
I edited the thinkfan.conf with
hwmon /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp3_input hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp2_input
but i get the message
WARNING: Using default fan control in ``/proc/acpi/ibm/fan.
setfan_ibm:
Error writing to /proc/acpi/ibm/fan: Invalid argument
Cleaning up and resetting fan control.
The kernel is 4.6.0-040600rc6-generic.
Can you help me with this?
The P50 has 2 fans, lm-sensors shows:
thinkpad-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1: 2316 RPM
fan2: 2332 RPM
in sysfs there is

It seems that thinkfan is only able to control fan1, fan2 keeps constant ~2300 RPM.
thinkfan.conf used
tp_fan /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon4/temp1_input
(0, 0, 65)
(1, 55, 82)
(2, 65, 88)
(6, 82, 92)
(7, 70, 32767)
Is there a way to control both fans?
Could you compare thinkfan
to thermald
? Does thermald
provide a superset of thinkfan
in that it scales CPU frequency and fan speed?
See for example
https://smackerelofopinion.blogspot.com.br/2015/09/tweaking-thermald-configuration-file.html
The path to my CPU's sensors sometimes changes on restart. Specifically, the digit after "hwmon" varies. This results in the expected error from thinkfan:
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp2_input: No such file or directory
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp4_input: No such file or directory
readconfig: Error getting temperature.
Refusing to run without usable config file!
Does thinkfan support any sort of pattern matching in the config file to accommodate this?
I need to base the fan speed on the GPU temp. What should the config say to enable NVML? Thanks.
The thinkpad_acpi interface with /proc/acpi/ibm/fan has a level disengaged
with value 127
for maximal fan speed. Does the PWM fan control file offer something similar? It seems that 255
for the PWM fan control file corresponds to level 7
of the thinkpad_acpi interface with /proc/acpi/ibm/fan.
Hey,
first up, been using thikfan for years and its really great! I just installed a clean version of Arch (been using it on Xubuntu before) and never had this issue. This is the output from the deamon (-n):
sleeptime=5, tmax=48, last_tmax=48, biased_tmax=48 -> fan="level 1"
sleeptime=5, tmax=45, last_tmax=46, biased_tmax=45 -> fan="level 0"
sleeptime=2, tmax=55, last_tmax=46, biased_tmax=68 -> fan="level 1"
sleeptime=5, tmax=45, last_tmax=47, biased_tmax=45 -> fan="level 0"
The line where it swaps to level 1 is the interesting one:
sleeptime=2, tmax=55, last_tmax=46, biased_tmax=68 -> fan="level 1"
I'm not 100% sure what biased_tmax is so I'm taking a wild guess and its the projected temperature that will be reached in a certain time interval when the temperature keeps rising at the current rate (last_tmax -> tmax is pretty steep here).
The fan configuration says it should never go to lvl1 before 65. When I watch my real sensor values it never goes above 56 or 57, even with the steep rise. The fan comes up regardless since it seems to take the biased_tmax.
Is there any way to maybe update faster or control this? I've seen that there is a -b option for the daemon which you can put in DAEMON_ARGS in /etc/default/thinkfan, but it doesn't seem to affect the behavior. Arch is systemd based, does that file even get used there? (my first systemd system, so sry if this is a noob mistake :))
Cheers

Hello everyone.
I have a thinkpad e420.
thinkfan 0.99.0
Is there a way to force the fan to operate at full-speed for some time (or in sothething like on-off mode) for high environment temp conditions????
A simple command? Or a config script?
Should i use simple or complex config?
thanks

I observe the following error in two scenarios :
1- If I disable wifi manually to save battery
2- Thinkpad bios has option to disable wifi card hardware if ethernet connected
Then the hwmon file becomes unreadable and therefore thinkfan gives the following error and exits:
thinkfan[19319]: /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon4/temp1_input: Input/output error
thinkfan[19319]: A sensor has vanished! Exiting since there's no safe way of handling this.
I wanted to exclude wifi temperature sensor from the .conf file but the virtual hwmonXX changes in every boot.
One nice solution to this (and also to changing hwmonX folders) would be to replace the sensors with device-names in conf file. The conf file would use something like :
device pch_skylake-virtual-0
instead of
hwmon /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon4/temp1_input
I have no idea if that is possible or easy to develop...
This is my /etc/thinkfan.conf
:
hwmon /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input
hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp3_input
hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input

When I do sudo thinkfan -n
it says
ERROR: /etc/thinkfan.conf:6: Invalid syntax:
(0, 0, 55)
Am I doing something wrong? The version I use is 0.99.0
I encounter the problem that with level 7 the fan isn't using it's full potential. I found your workaround here https://sourceforge.net/p/thinkfan/thinkfan-bugs/10/ and started thinkfan in dangerous mode (-D) with various values and combinations replacing 7 in the level 7 line:
"level full-speed", level full-speed, "full-speed", full-speed
"level disengaged", level disengaged, "disengaged", disengaged
Each combination resulted in an "Invalid syntax" error message by thinkfan Version 0.99.0 cloned from https://sourceforge.net/projects/thinkfan/ on 4. Nov. 2016.
\# thinkfan -n -D
ERROR: /etc/thinkfan.conf:57: Invalid syntax:
("level full-speed", 68, 32767)
Interestingly enough though, the fan started to run at maximum rpm as tested with echo "level full-speed" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan and didn't slow down, despite the temperature was way below threshold. Unnecessary to say that starting the systemd service failed. (This behaviour occurred with an older build)

# ====================================================
#
# IMPORTANT:
#
# To keep your HD from overheating, you have to specify a correction value for
# the sensor that has the HD's temperature. You need to do this because
# thinkfan uses only the highest temperature it can find in the system, and
# that'll most likely never be your HD, as most HDs are already out of spec
# when they reach 55 °C.
# Correction values are applied from left to right in the same order as the
# temperatures are read from the file.
#
# For example:
# tp_thermal /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal (0, 0, 10)
# will add a fixed value of 10 °C the 3rd value read from that file. Check out
# http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors to find out how much you may
# want to add to certain temperatures.
# Syntax:
# (LEVEL, LOW, HIGH)
# LEVEL is the fan level to use (0-7 with thinkpad_acpi)
# LOW is the temperature at which to step down to the previous level
# HIGH is the temperature at which to step up to the next level
# All numbers are integers.
#
# I use this on my T61p:
tp_fan /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
#tp_thermal /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal (0, 10, 15, 2, 10, 5, 0, 3, 0, 3)
hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input
hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp2_input

Here is my problem, when I disable wifi on my laptop:
A sensor has vanished! Exiting since there's no safe way of handling this.
Additionally, thinkfan does not even start if this sensor is missing.
So I would like to declare a hwmon
sensor line as "optional" in the config file.
This combines very nice with issue #43, because I would be able to set the specific sensor for iwlwifi
as optional.
I am trying to use yaml configuration file. Consider following simplified scenario :
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp2_input
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input
using index [1,2]
thinkfan only finds the first two sensors, can't find the last one. I am guessing this might be due to the fact they have the same name?

Hi,
Do you plan to make an official 1.0 release of thinkfan? I have filed a bug report in Fedora bug tracker so that upstream release can be switched from sourceforge to this Github. That would happen along the line with an official release here. Currently there's 0 releases.
Thanks.
Hello, I'm using a T520 and trying to get Thinkfan to work on Void GNU/Linux. I have copied the simple config but wen I run it I get the following error:
https://hastebin.com/kegavadeku.pas
The temperature of the hard disc can be shown by
sudo smartctl -A /dev/sda | grep Temperature
Can it also be read off by a cat /path/to/harddisk's/temp_input
so that thinkfan can avoid overheating ?
Hi,
Apparently for me commit d395107 makes thinkpad_acpi
driver to constantly spam into dmesg(every 2 minutes) like:
[Aug 6 05:14] thinkpad_acpi: fan watchdog: enabling fan
[Aug 6 05:16] thinkpad_acpi: fan watchdog: enabling fan
[Aug 6 05:18] thinkpad_acpi: fan watchdog: enabling fan
[Aug 6 05:20] thinkpad_acpi: fan watchdog: enabling fan
[Aug 6 05:22] thinkpad_acpi: fan watchdog: enabling fan
And, btw if I understand sleeptime
parameter correctly, should not src/driver.cpp:147
be
else if (last_watchdog_ping_ + min(watchdog_, sleeptime) <= std::chrono::system_clock::now())
instead of
else if (last_watchdog_ping_ + watchdog_ + sleeptime <= std::chrono::system_clock::now())
after every timesleep the fan is getting stopped/slowing down for a moment even if there is no change in level.
I think it shouldn't be hard to implement PID control and it might even vastly simplify the configuration and stabilize the RPMs even more.
When I'm trying to run thinkfan I get the following message:
root@sulter:~# thinkfan -c /etc/thinkfan.conf
ERROR: TpSensorDriver: Initializing sensor in /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal: Succes
I'm using the default config file:
(0, 0, 55)
(1, 50, 60)

(3, 56, 63)
(4, 57, 65)
(5, 59, 66)
(7, 63, 32767)
I'm able to manipulate /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal manually without any problems.
