Thinkpad X220 Fan control

+

2025-03-21

+

Blowing out the heat from my laptop

+

After installing thinkfan, sudo pacman -S thinkfan +

journalctl -p 3 -xb was showing an error concerning thinkfan, and I worked out that the thinkfan_acpi module wasn't being loaded on boot.

+

Adding thinkpad_acpi to /etc/modules-load.d/thinkpad.conf didn't work

+

What did work was editing /etc/default/grub and adding thinkpad_acpi.fan_control=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

+

Then

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

+
+
+ + -- cgit v1.3.1
