unable to locate macfanctld from mactel-support ppa

[a lemming]

I have installed 64-Bit Ubuntu 11.04 on my Macbook Pro 7,1
Following the instructions from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ma...ro7-1/Maverick
under Sensors(temps & fans).

I installed the mactel-support PPA, and I did the modprobe coretemp, and I added coretemp to /etc/modules.

Yet for some reason, when I try to install macfanctld using "sudo apt-get install macfanctld", I get this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package macfanctld

I have done this before using 64-Bit Ubuntu 10.10 on this same laptop and it worked fine.

thanks in advance.

I added the Maverick repo and was able to get the applesmc and macfanctld...

Hi, will you you be updating the Mactel PPA for 12.04?

[SwedishWings]

I've made macfanctld available for Oneiric on the PPA. Will make it available for Precise when the mactel PPA supports it.

Sorry for the delay, been drowning in work and private issues for a while. Hopefully the situation will improve soon.

I finally got around to check up the reported high CPU usage.

It turned out that;
- sprintf() is an expensive operation that should be avoided.
- fopen()/fclose() are CPU hogs. Have been replaced with open()/close().

The above changes should decrease the CPU usage dramatically.

Please test the new version for Oneiric. A Natty version is building now, should be available in a few hours.

It's in the Precise mactel PPA now. Please let me know if it's ok!
