On a Thinkstation P700 with dual Xeon E5-2620v3 and 144GB DDR4 RAM and one Flex Adaptor with 1x NVMe SSD, lm-sensors report temperatures but not fan speeds other than Nvidia Fan under Fedora 32. There seems that there is no way to control fan speed from Linux [not sure about Windows] On a Thinkstation P700 folder /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal does not exist. /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.*/ exist but those don't show any fans nor fan control whatsoever. Lenovo does say this machine is [certified] for Linux [Ubuntu and CentOS] but neither seems to show fan control as my experience shows. Looking at Lenovo [website] re drivers nothing relevant shows re Linux Fan control: Would be nice to know if fan control is possible under Linux for this platform and which kernel modules need to be loaded. thinkpad_acpi module does not load on Fedora 32 but tried Ubuntu 14/16/18 LT and ArchLinux up to kernel 5.6.13-arch1-1 with similar results Here's the sample of from sensors output coretemp-isa-0001 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 1: +40.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 0: +34.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 1: +33.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 2: +34.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 3: +33.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 4: +32.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 5: +33.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) nvme-pci-0200 Adapter: PCI adapter Composite: +23.9 C (low = -273.1 C, high = +69.8 C) (crit = +79.8 C) Sensor 1: +24.9 C (low = -273.1 C, high = +65261.8 C) Sensor 2: +23.9 C (low = -273.1 C, high = +65261.8 C) Sensor 5: +32.9 C (low = -273.1 C, high = +65261.8 C) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +38.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 0: +33.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 1: +31.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 2: +30.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 3: +31.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 4: +32.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C) Core 5: +31.0 C (high = +75.0 C, crit = +85.0 C)
please attach the acpidump output, and also the dmesg output after boot, with latest upstream kernel.
bug closed as there is no response from the bug reporter. please feel free to reopen it if the problem still exists in latest upstream kernel.
