Thinkfan for Thinkpads

[boredsquirrel]

sudo rpm-ostree install PyQt5 lm_sensors

sudo printf """thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1""" >> /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf

• function to check if a laptop is thinkpad or not
• install dependencies and echo fan control in acpi.conf

[iaacornus]

we should also be able to determine whether the laptop is thinkpad or not

[iaacornus]

can you implement this on python

[boredsquirrel]

in bash:

sudo dmidecode -s system-family

should show "ThinkPad xxxxx"

in python:

import subprocess

output = subprocess.check_output(command.split()).decode().strip()

# Check if the system family is "ThikPad"
if output == "ThinkPad":
    print("Model number is Thinkpad, installing ThinkFan...")
    # following commands
else:
    print(f"Model number is {output}, skipping commands...")

we could also include multiple models here with various fixes.

AMD Ryzen

Framework Fanctl

Acer Article about EC (lots of projects for specific models existing, dont know if recommended, obsolete, needed etc. Acer Fan controller

HP Fan ctl

Microsoft surface: completely different chapter, custom Kernel etc.

We should implement some sort of "this is not implemented yet" placeholder for these commands
