Hello,
as title clevo-indicator can't read my gpu temperature and just one of the two fans i have is working on my Clevo P640RE.

Here my io's,

i'm trying to figure this out my c and low level programming is not my field,
Anyway good job for the indicator, still pretty usefull to me.
Thak you

Using i3, the indicator is invisble. I'm not sure why, but I'll probably look into it since I'm guessing no one here is running i3.

Ubuntu 22.04 no longer uses libappindicator3-dev. It has been replaced with libayatana-appindicator-dev, and removing it will remove other Ubuntu desktop dependencies.

Firstly - thanks for your fantastic work. My laptop no longer sounds like it's about to take off.

I've been using this for a while on 18.04 (Wayland). But I had to turn off Wayland because one of my displayports wasn't working and now I'm running Xorg on 18.04. Worked fine on Wayland when running from cli (indicator shows), but on Xorg, there's no indicator and only shows the info in the console.

Any ideas?

FYI - I added WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf to disable Wayland.

Thanks.

Clevo W230ST - Ubuntu 16.04 - Some keys aren't detected while typing. It occurs especially when AUTO mode is enabled. More the CPU load, more the trouble. Maybe reading temps interfers with keyboard interrupts?

Hi. First of all, thank you for this small program, it is really useful for my Clevo N150RD, in which the fan can be a little noisy if even under no heavy load.
Under your wiki you state we can set the fan speed to 40%. I reviewed your code and you have a condition:
if (duty_percentage < 60 || duty_percentage > 100)
{
printf("Wrong fan duty to write: %d\n", duty_percentage);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}

My question is if we can indeed use 40% and 50% safely. Is there a reason you declared 60% as minimum in your code? If it is safe I can change the code to suit my needs. Thank you.

This doesn't belong into userspace, never ever. You don't want to run a suid binary in userspace talking with the EC, the proper way to implement this is as a kernel module and user the proper subdev classes and hwmon.

You really should think about what you do here, because that's an unneccessary security risk with no benefit. This belongs into the kernel as a module, period, no discussions about that, doing anything else is... stupid. The phrasing seems harsh, but it is the way it is.

i installed apt-get install libappindicator3-dev libgtk-3-dev

but error:

how to solve this error ?
thank you !

Currently my fan comes on too easily (at around 50 degrees) on AUTO mode.

Is there a way to change these speed thresholds?

It would be good to have a list of models that are known to be supported to help people find this project

Hi,

Does anyone know how to remove the spinning icon? I rather just have the temperature.

I find it a bit annoying seen the spinning icon all the time.

Hi,

make install fails with the following:

make install
compiling src/clevo-indicator.c
Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'gtk+-3.0', required by 'appindicator3-0.1', not found
src/clevo-indicator.c:48:43: fatal error: libappindicator/app-indicator.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Makefile:39: recipe for target 'obj/clevo-indicator.o' failed
make: *** [obj/clevo-indicator.o] Error 1

it is required to install

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev

first, maybe add that to the readme. great tool!

regards

Thanks for creating this tool, I've been looking everywhere for my Clevo W55xEU to control fan speed.

When trying to run 'make install' it gave me the following error:
Fatal error: can't create obj/clevo-indicator.o: No such file or directory

All I had to do to fix was to create the 'obj' folder and then run again and it worked.

Right now the icon only shows Celcius. Ideally it should match the system's format (Celcius vs Farenheit). Or add the option to switch within the indicator.

I think it would be good to make the following configurable via a configuration file that would not require a recompile of the project:

1. min/max fan speeds
2. fan speed profile (duty steps vs temperature)
3. menu entries
4. format string for the indicator icon

Normally my laptop sits around 0.00-0.10 at idle. When I use clevo-indicator ìt sits above 1.00. Any idea what my causing this?

Hi,

i try install it but I have problem with #9 and after them i try run it ($ sudo bin/clevo-indicator) but returns:

worker on parent death
worker quit

On my P7xxDM2(-G) (according to dmidecode -t baseboard) there are two fans.

I am only able to control the one on the left.

Is there another hardware register than can be manipulated to control the other fan? How did you manage to find the address?

Changing rpm to some percentage works fine. But when switch it back to AUTO, it does not change at all. It remains at the most recent rate.

Hi, first I though I found the right tool for my Clevo PC50 laptop, but then the awake:

compiling src/clevo-indicator.c

I've tried to install your recommended lib: libappindicator3-dev

but Debian Bullyseye didn't know that lib and installed another one which will not work with your prog:

Note, selecting 'libayatana-appindicator3-dev' instead of 'libappindicator3-dev'
libayatana-appindicator3-dev is already the newest version (0.5.91-1).

Any chance to get it running on Debian 11?

when i command make install it gives this error. i'm new on linux and i don't now what to do. i'll be very happy if someone helps me.

It is not possible to control the gpu fan, any ideas?

ok so i decided to install mint 19 tara all was fine i think up until i installed the last of the updates i think pertaining to the gui enhancements/revisions of some sort
and then i got this error and cannot now seem to control the fan from the gui which does not wish to appear at all now just the readout in the command line

hope this helps somehow

After MAKE INSTALLing and execute the program for the first time i got a "Multiple instances running' error message. I checked the output of ps and nothing clevo-indicator related is there. Even with 'sudo clevo-indicator' it didn't work.

I use Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa on a Clevo W350ST.

on my system the EC GPU temperature value is always the real GPU temperature +6

verified with nvidia and nouveau.

Any debs?

With this particular Laptop http://www.clevo.com/clevo_prodetail.asp?id=927&lang=en I got the problem that somehow the auto fan duty cannot write determined values:

***r:/usr/local/bin$ ./clevo-indicator 
Simple fan control utility for Clevo laptops
Indicator...
02/02 16:02:24 CPU=12°C, GPU=0°C, auto fan duty to 30%

clicked on fan duty auto
02/02 16:02:52 CPU=12°C, GPU=0°C, auto fan duty to 30%
Wrong fan duty to write: 30

Could I somehow use or implement some workaround, or is a fix to the software needed? Help much appreciated.

when I run make on debian9, the error is "modprobe:FATAL:Module ec_sys not found in directory". How can this program adjust to install on debian. As far as I see, debian and ubuntu have much in common.

It still works from CLI, but no Tray icon. I installed gnome shell extension for Tray, and got Slack and Nextcloud incons there, but not this one
