After doing a bit of research (and reading FanSpeed's code) I have to withdraw the bug of the label color from FanSpeed and move it to pykde4.

Sorry for that one and kind regards.

Thank you for developing FanSpeed! It's great, especially because it's the only if it's kind.

However, having to go to Settings and change Maximum Speed every time I login makes using the plasmoid a bit annoying, and leaving the default settings is really useless.

Likewise the RPM readout: it's unreadable on themes with white font.

I really hope you will find time to fix these two issues, especially because there's no alternative plasmoid.

Thanx again!

Nice Plasmoid.
Just two bugs:

1. Current RPM's are seemingly printed on the gauge but use system's default foreground text color. On systems with a white-text-on-dark-background color scheme this results in unreadable RPM-printing. Please change to use a black or otherwise dark color always on a known-white background and not rely on system color scheme settings. :)

2. If possible I'd like to have my "max RPM" setting stored even if the system reports an amazingly high RPM. My system reports 65535 RPM on going to suspend which I have to change back to its usual (and one order of magnitude less) maximum value everytime. At least a checkbox like "do not adjust max. value to reported fan speed" would be nice here.

Thanks for your work.

Hi

I think that your plasmoid is great, but unhappylly, i can't use in my macbook (v2) because i haven't the string "fan", but 'Exhaust". In mac machines, we need use the module 'applesmc', that return this in "sensors" command:

Hi

can you check if you find the "missing" fans in the plasma dataengine, run:
Quote:
plasmaengineexplorer --engine systemmonitor


and add the search-term: fan. If all fans are listed there, please tell me their names. Otherwise you should fill a bug against the plasma-dataengine "systemmonitor"..

Hope this helps

all names listed below:

lmsensors/w83627ehf/Case_Fan
lmsensors/w83627ehf/CPU_Fan
lmsensors/w83627ehf/Aux_Fan
lmsensors/w83627ehf/fan4
lmsensors/w83627ehf/fan5

Thx - it seems that the fan-lookup is not case-insensitive (fan vs Fan) -- i will fix that..

Here is the output for 'sensors':

~:/$ sudo sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +38.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1: +38.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

Still the plasmoid does not list any fans.
Please advise.

I just ran 'sensors-detect' that updated the /etc/modules file. I can't reboot just now. More later.

I am not getting any response from hardware for any fan device.

I have QT and PyQT installed. Do the dev's need to be installed, too?

Please advise.

You don't need the dev's (you mean development packages right?)

lm-sensors must be configured. Run the command "sensors" in a terminal and look for fan1, fan2 ... thats what this plasmoid should show.

After installing the meter shows on the desktop like a charm and looks discrete and nice. But the meter stays at bottom and when I try to set fan I find lmsensors/it8712/fan1 which is correct, and I can set maximum speed, but still no luck.

The output of >sensors for fan1 is correct.

Does it matter if I rename "fan1" in sensors3.conf? I had it set for "CPUfan" a while but then changed back.

According to comments above I checked the files in /home/xxxxxx/.kde4/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/FanSpeed/contents/code unfortunately I a complete noob when it comes to hacking plain code so it doesn't mean much to me.

If someone could give me some simple hands on tips I would be very greatful!

I can't find any such options in GUI. Do you mean changing drectly in the main.py? I such case where?

Ok, thougt so. Tried to set that with different values but the needle doesn't react accordingly... In fact it doesn't react at all... But I can set maximum value. How about text color?

My needles in my system monitor doesn't react either, but i get correct values in the meter + graph

Thanks for quick answers!
