Ubuntu :: Sensors Not Working & CPU Speed Control?
Feb 21, 2010
I installed Karmic 64-bit on a new Phenom X4 Quad-Core PC. I've replaced the stock CPU cooler with a Cooler Master Hyper TX3, enabled all fan control settings in the BIOS, switched their profiles on silent, enabled the Cool n' Quiet option as well but my CPU fan is still noisy and seem to be running up to the max number of RPM, thus ignoring BIOS specifications. Besides this I can tell there is something wrong with it since even the CPU is on idle or with just the regular browsing, media player operations, PC sometimes freezes or is automatically rebooted .
I installed lm-sensors and went through all the sensors-detect operations (output attached to this post) but it doesn't show anything else but the CPU and HDD temperature which is always 40 Celsius degrees.
control my cpu fan speed? It's really loud, and I'm not stressing the CPU at all, but it seems to be running at 110% all the time.
I've tried going through some old posts related to lm-sensors but nothing seems to work.
I'm using an Asus motherboard (M4A88TD-M), an AMD 1075t six-core processor, and I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed. Ive run sensors-detect, followed the onscreen prompts... the output looks like this:
Code: # sensors-detect revision 5818 (2010-01-18 17:22:07 +0100) # System: System manufacturer System Product Name # Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4A88TD-M EVO
I have an issue with IBM XSeries 236M rack server running Debian Squeeze (2.6.32-3-vserver-amd64). I have installed "lm-sensors", "fancontrol", "acpid" and "acpi-support-base" packages. The problem is that I cannot get fan voltage and RPM displayed.
Command "sensors" will only display core temperatures: root@xseries:/home/yang# sensors k8temp-pci-00c3
I can't for the life of me get the xsensors to work. I installed lm-sensors, the applet and also xsensors.I followed everything on this guide:URl... Went through it more than twice and a couple of restarts. I just can't figure out what's wrong.When I run "sensors" nothing is found. I ran the sensors configuration and it only found one device to add to /etc/modules. Please see the trace below, I would be very grateful if you can help me find the fix for this! The desktop is an HP Pavilion a730n with a Pentium4 processor.
atlast i downloaded 64 bit version of natty. (i m currently using 10.10 32 bit). before i go for a clean install, i wished to test natty (the stable release) by running it from my usb stick. i was able to boot into it and natty identified my wi-fi with a breeze. i wanted to test some configurations that i had customized in maverick. i installed conky in natty and copied the conky script that i used in maverick. i also installed the necessary sensors. now the hitch is the sensors are unable to detect the temperature. is it coz i am running natty from a usb stick or some bug is there in this part ?
I have a Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86Ghz CPU and I have attached a Zalman heatsink & fan to it for extra cooling. However, the default fan speed is very high and it is too loud and definitely unnecessary. So I use this program in Windows called EasyTune5 (which is for gigabyte motherboards, the brand my motherboard is) and I can set the default speed to zero or 1. There are values between 0 and 100, 100 being full speed of the fan. Setting it to a low value like 0 or 1 makes it very quite. Of course the speed of the fan goes up when the CPU heats up or is being utilized more BUT most of the times during idle, its back to being really quite.
Does ubuntu have any software that can do this? I know there are software to check the cpu temp but i need one to actually control the default fan speed.
FC13 sensors not workingsensors-detect gives:Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
I don't know how this happened, but my keyboard copy and paste functions have stopped working. Oddly enough, I discovered that I can only copy and paste by using the third mouse button. Pressing down on the scroll wheel after highlighting text copies the text, pressing it again pastes it Ican still use the Edit-copy and Edit-paste menu functions.
I'm sure it has something to do with all the tinkering I have been doing with my desktop. I have been experimenting with CompizConfig and Cairo dock, changing my themes and things of this nature.
How do I go about changing the fan speed? My laptop is running hotter than normal and although its not melting the case I'd rather turn the fan up to increase cooling if possible. Noise is not a concern as I normally have music playing anyway.
Just installed the latest ubuntu on my PC. When I was running windows I had a tool called asus smartdoctor which allowed me to vary my video card fan speed. I really need to increase this fan speed as my video card overheats. Is there a unbuntu compatable program that would allow me to change the fan speed or do I need to install Wine and run smart doctor that way?
I got a new computer and got it running Slackware64-current. It's motherboard is an ASUS M4A88TD-M and it's processor is an AMD Phenom II x4 965. I decided to get some chassis fans to improve it's thermal performance. But, since I started the computer after installing the new fan (only one of the 3 I got) the fan's speed is at max and it's very noisy. I'd like Slackware to control it's speed according to temperatures from lm-sensors. Output of # sensors-detect can be found here. Kernel is stock -current 2.6.33.4. Output of # lspci is here.

I would like to use lm-sensors with my new PC.With my old one lm-sensors showed all sensors of CPU, GPU, wattage and Fan.With the new AMD64 (kernel 2.6.32-5 on Debian Squeeze) I get only the temperature of the GPU and the HDD.The only found sensor is "Fintek F71882FG/F71883FG Super IO Sensors"No embedded "AMD [...] thermal sensors" found in sensors-detect How can I fix it?sensors-detect
I often run my ubuntu as SSH server only so i stop GDM when i do that, but i found out that after i stop gnome, my ATI gpu fans spins up like crazy and sounds like a jet plane, (i have ati closed source driver installed) i am worried to leave the fan on like that, so i have to start a X session again. Then the fan slows down I would like to be able to have slow fan speed when i drop to text mode only, one is its light weight, two is for security
Is it possible to control the speed of the CPU fan in my desktop computer? The CPU runs cool at 30C yet the fan sits around 2700rpm and the BIOS doesn't allow for speed control.
I have problem with funs speed in my fujitsu rx100 s6 server, rpm funs is 3000 ? I think it is not standard speed funs. On windows 2008 server funs works quietly. Fujitsu supports only windows servers, red-hat enterp. and suse enterp. Is there any software to control speed fans?
I'm trying to control the fan speed on my laptop (IBM Thinkpad T43.) I used lsmod and saw that the thinkpad_acpi module was already load, but I know I need the fan_control=1 option so I did this:
$modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1. Then I did: $echo level 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan and I get an error: write error: Invalid argument
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, Also, if I wanted to load the module thinkpad_acpi at boot time with the fan_control=1 option, should I add it to /etc/rc.modules? In other words, does the rc.modules file override udev? And do I need to remove the module before reloading it with the fan_control=1 option?
I really need some control over my fan speed, as it seems by laptop is running rather hot.
I've installed f11 on my machine and am wondering how to control the fan speed for my graphics card, its a asus EAH4850 (single slot, fan starts automatically at around 10% speed).
The card goes at around 85 degrees Celsius with stardard speed with no 3d, and 110+ when running any 3d application, wich then causes it to not respond. i have to set it to around 60% speed for safe temperature.
I'm used to windows, there i could either use the asus smart doctor or the catalyst control center to adjust fan speed, i'm looking for a linux alternative.
I have a Radeon 3870 (rv670) that seems to work great with fc13 out of the box, with one exception. The stock fan is constantly running full speed. It's too loud. Proprietary drivers don't support fc13 yet. Has anyone found a way to make this work?Edit: The best I could do was switch to ubuntu, install fglrx and then issue the following cli commandCode:aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 15"
Are there any linux applications that will allow me to adjust the hard drive RPM rotational speeds? I've used similiar programs for windows before but now I am running a linux setup.
how to control the speed of the fan in my laptop ? i use ubuntu ...i don't seem to use it to full power and it is always cool .. it makes lots of noise.i don't know what to say for commands i've run . i tried lm-sensors but it says command not found. sensors gives me some output and "temp1" which say +69degrees maximum 89 ..i used the search function but it just gave me some unsolved threads.
I'm running openSUSE 11.4 with GNOME. I have an EVGA nvidia GTX 285 installed, which is equipped with a variable speed fan. I'm running the nvidia driver package which includes the nvidia X Server Settings utility. The utility allows me to view the fan speed as a percentage of its maximum speed but does not allow adjustment. It appears that the speed remains at the card default of 40% regardless of GPU or card temp. When running certain graphic-intensive applications my card runs quite hot (sometimes >70 degrees C). Although this isn't hot enough to burn the card up in the short term, it is certainly hot enough to shorten my video card's lifespan.
So, the question is how do I set up my system so I can increase the fan speed to 50% or better yet, get it to increase as the GPU temp increases? The nvidia X Server Settings help indicates that fan speed is adjustable after enabling coolbits, but coolbits is not installed on my system and is not available from the default repositories. What is the easiest way to obtain, install and enable coolbits? I have no intention of overclocking my card. It was too expensive to risk damage to the card.
I just recently changed my motherboard, and now the command "sensors" shows "no sensors detected" I ran sensors-detect but still i get no sensors detected.
I have scrolling speed problem on my mouse, however it s working sometimes when i restart OS i mean it s working slowly as it should. But it s random dont know whats wrong with sometimes it s scrolling so fast and thats killing me u know it s really so hard to use it when browse something on web-pages. Weird part is how it s working ok when i restart OS.
I've recently updated my ubuntu lucid to maverick (32bit).However I noticed a strange issue at boot. My boot time is increased more than three times(tried to reprofile, but with no improvement) from 24s to 1.23min.After some bootcharting,I noticed that the disk utilization during maverick boot seems to be at 50% for most of the time and also the cpu seems to work at half speed for most of the time...My laptop is an asus m51sn, intel t8300, nvidia geforce 9500m gs, 3gb ram, 500Gb WD scorpio blue hdd.
I have a dual boot and my windows plays audio fine.My ubuntu plays audio fine as well however when I click on the Volume Control icon on the panel it gives me this error:No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.and I am still unable to control volume. I have alsamixer installed and it can control my system sound fine but all this time I've been able to use the controls on my HP Pavilion dv5250ca laptop's keyboard controls to control the volume and I'd like to be able to continue doing that- I haven't been able to for the last 2 days.
control keys aren't working most of the time in Open Office. I can copy, cut and paste with the mouse, but Control+C/X/V/Z is not working at all. I also use intellij idea, there I have the same problem, but I can use its own defined control+alt+space. I've tried Abiword, the control keys worked at the begging but then after a while when I used control+something(C/X/V/Z), it always selected everything. Besides that, the control keys are working perfectly in nautilus, terminal, firefox, chrome, gedit. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.
