How do I know whether the fan is working?
by RandomTroll from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5PC5F)
Code: pwmconfig returns: Quote:
. The 'fan' module has loaded. /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/cooling_device2/type is fan; cur_state and max_state are both 1, but the fan is off.
My computer started shutting off every few minutes Wednesday. It stayed off for a while so I suspected it was heat. I changed the BIOS setting from high performance to low - it hasn't shut off since. I haven't noticed the fan coming on for a while. Nothing in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages reveals a problem.
