12.04 - Unable to start fancontrol service, broken configuration file - Ask Ubuntu
i've been trying fans automated on asus h87-pro motherboard. have 3 additional fans cpu fan.
to this, had add nct6775
'/etc/modules' purpose of starting the appropriate module read nuvoton chip. shows fine in sensors
.
my issue is, want control fancontrol, can't seem create appropriate configuration file when run sudo pwmconfig
. have identified 3 fans pwm ports 1,3 & 4. every time want start service, using sudo service fancontrol start
, receive error message:
* not starting fancontrol, broken configuration file; please re-run pwmconfig.
my /etc/fancontrol
config file set with:
# configuration file generated pwmconfig, changes lost interval=10 devpath=hwmon4=devices/platform/nct6775.656 devname=hwmon4=nct6791 fctemps=hwmon4/pwm4=hwmon4/temp2_input hwmon4/pwm3=hwmon4/temp2_input hwmon4/pwm1=hwmon4/temp2_input fcfans=hwmon4/pwm4=hwmon4/fan4_input hwmon4/pwm3=hwmon4/fan3_input hwmon4/pwm1=hwmon4/fan1_input mintemp=hwmon4/pwm4=30 hwmon4/pwm3=30 hwmon4/pwm1=30 maxtemp=hwmon4/pwm4=53 hwmon4/pwm3=53 hwmon4/pwm1=53 minstart=hwmon4/pwm4=45 hwmon4/pwm3=45 hwmon4/pwm1=60 minstop=hwmon4/pwm4=0 hwmon4/pwm3=34 hwmon4/pwm1=34 minpwm=hwmon4/pwm4=34 hwmon4/pwm3=0 hwmon4/pwm1=0 maxpwm=hwmon4/pwm4=255 hwmon4/pwm3=255 hwmon4/pwm1=255
any ideas? i'm doing quite stupid, appreciate advice.
since having realized i've been working older 12.04 lts ubuntu, i've updated 16.04.
{note, doing so, error message changed if tried service fancontrol start
on 16.04: job fancontrol.service failed because control process exited error code. see "systemctl status fancontrol.service" , "journalctl -xe" details.
}
i don't believe provided solution, when tried command fancontrol --configure
{on new 16.04, hadn't done before}, given feedback detailing problem.
error in configuration file (hwmon4/pwm4): minstop must greater or equal minpwm
it's shame wasn't able identify this. that's how learn! fixing this, able start fancontrol service service fancontrol start
.
