T43 - Thinkfan & MX Linux

#1 Post by beko1987 » Wed Oct 03, 2018 3:38 pm

Has anyone ever got MX Linux and Thinkfan playing nicely?

My T43 runs MX, and it's fantastic (2.13ghz 2gb RAM mSATA-ide hard drive) except the fan is on very fast all the time... Thinkfan is needed!

Since MX is debian based, I found and started to follow this guide

viewtopic.php?t=119546

and all went well until I tried to start up coretemp and it said
root@Sam:/home/sam# sudo modprobe coretemp
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'coretemp': No such device

This is where my general lack of Linux knowledge comes into play! Has anyone ever had this before and fixed it?
