Oldish (ok, ancient) laptop, Dell Insperion 9400 with new install onto SSD.
Since the update of last Monday, fans come on full speed even at low-ish temps of 34C. Fans are either full speed or none at all.
When I first installed 42.2 I don't remember this being this way. My fans have several intermediate speeds.
What changed, and how can I get back to stepped and managed fan speeds? What package controls this these days? Just a 'guess', but I see a 'tpm' (thermal protection monitor) error on boot (it's just the normal error before the 'no tpm chip' found determination). I don't know what does the fallback thermal control (I thought that would be hardware/BIOS specific). I'm interested in the others responses here.
"TPM" usually refers to the "Trusted Platform Module", which incorporates cryptographic keys in devices to allow secure booting. Regarding fans, my experience has been that the nouveau drivers don't control fans on Nvidia graphics adapters very well. Could this be a graphics driver issue? The binary drivers from Nvidia usually work for me. Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
