startup script + add load module

[whitethorn]

Hi,

I've been trying to figure this out, unfortunately I can't get any further. I have a new computer, at the moment I'm trying to figure out how to get my fans running quiter. I've figured out how to use lm-sensors and I've created the profile I want to use. Whenever I reboot my computer though, everything I did stops working. To get the reading on my sensor I need to use this code

sudo modprobe w83627ehf force_id=0x8860

How would I get this loaded?

Next I need to run a file called /etc/fancontrol. Which is the configuration file.

# Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost
INTERVAL=10
FCTEMPS= hwmon4/device/pwm1=hwmon0/device/temp1_input
FCFANS= hwmon4/device/pwm1=hwmon4/device/fan1_input
MINTEMP= hwmon4/device/pwm1=45
MAXTEMP= hwmon4/device/pwm1=60
MINSTART= hwmon4/device/pwm1=90
MINSTOP= hwmon4/device/pwm1=60
MINPWM= hwmon4/device/pwm1=60
MAXPWM=hwmon4/device/pwm1=255

If anyone has any ideas, or a link to some howtos that would be great.

Might just check into running it from the sessions manager system>prefrences>sessions.

I have stuff starting with my system using that. I suppose you could direct it to start a script, I don't see why not.

(of course will launch after the desktop starts)

to add the module run

gksu gedit /etc/modules

add a line that says

w83627ehf force_id=0x8860

then save and close the file.

looking back at this the last part should be disregarded. if you followd the /etc/init.d stuff, let me know and we will take that back out.

aside from that, what are you doing with /etc/fancontrol?

So I added the module, rebooted it works so that's awesome. I did try using the rcupdate-rc-d thingy, but since that didn't work I also removed the entries. Now I have a different problem, after rebooting fancontrol doesn't work on my fans. I'm going to start a new thread about this. This one has been solved thank you
