[RESPONDED] Changing the fan temperture points with ectool

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
21

Curious, are you able to take screenshot when this happens?

22

I’ll try and post it here although there isn’t much to see.

I get a battery critically low notification and something like 10 seconds later the laptop shuts down.

I am running Fedora’s cinnamon spin so it may be a Cinnamon bug ? It wouldn’t be the first bug I get

Edit: @Loell_Framework So yeah it happens too fast for me to screenshot it. Another piece of information is that I am maxing out my battery at 60% in the UEFI since it’s stationary.

Edit 2: Actually there’s a Cinnamon setting to “Do nothing” when the battery is extremely low (which I never let happen anyways). So I guess I jsut “fixed” my issue

Any updates about fw-fanctrl? AFAIK the fan control monitors the cpu_f75303@4d which is NOT the CPU temperature, the actual CPU temperature is cpu@4c but the fan only starts when the CPU is already thermal shutdown(103 C and 105 C), as shown

$ sudo ectool temps all
--sensor name -------- temperature -------- ratio (fan_off and fan_max) --
local_f75303@4d       319 K (= 46 C)          20% (313 K and 343 K)
cpu_f75303@4d         321 K (= 48 C)          25% (319 K and 327 K)
ddr_f75303@4d         315 K (= 42 C)        N/A (fan_off=401 K, fan_max=401 K)
cpu@4c                365 K (= 92 C)           0% (376 K and 378 K)

Is it possible for fw-fanctrl to use the temp reading of cpu@4c and edit the fan curve on that one accordingly?
