Hi,

would you guys mind to somehow trigger an update of thermald to Tumbleweed please? I see this package already in the "hardware" project (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=hardware&package=thermald) as version 1.5.4, but in Tumbleweed is has still 1.5.3. 1.5.4 has better Haskwell support.

I probably need to install and start thermald on my notebook, because I got overheating issues and the new kernel 4.10 seems to write them to all open terminals. Wouldn't it be convenient to install and start is as part of a Laptop package by default?

Forgot to add the link to a discussion which inspired me for doing so: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1701.0/03626.html I have the same thermal throttling like discussed there. The BIOS was just reacting after the system temperatures reached their allowed maximum, but thermald should control hardware cooling better and in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

As you can see in the "Requests" tab there is a request pending. While I created the original request two months ago, obs-autosubmit decided to be impatient and just supersede it with an identical request, without the added review for the security-team... (https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-autosubmit/issues/1)

If it works better for you than without it, you can open a bug report and request that change.

Thanks, Fabian. I installed the thermald from the "hardware" project and will watch it for a couple of days. For the last couple of hours it works well, no thermal throttling issues on the console so far. But there is automatically chosen the "powersave" governor over "performance", and the command cpupower frequency-set --governor performance doesn't seem to change this, according to the output of cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor Nevertheless, integrating it with a laptop mode installation maybe won't be that easy, because: - thermald is just for Intel CPUs beginning with a certain generation - the Intel pstate driver has to be activated by default (maybe it is, I activated it at the command line for being sure). Furthermore, the Intel pstate driver has different options beyond enable/disable. - It must be somehow synchronized with the laptop-mode-tools package, because /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/cpufreq.conf conatins the "ondemand" CPU governors, which are not available with pstate and thermald: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors performance powersave (for each of the CPUs) That's why I rather ask make that potential report as complete as possible. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
