My fan solution:

[calli]

I compiled a binary for the new fanctl (based on the code in SVN)

Load it here:
http://www.blenderbuch.de/openmms/mss_fanctl_cw2.tgz

UPDATE: The first archive was corrupted, please reload!

put the binary in /opt/bin/

Then add:

Code: Select all

# new fanctl
killall fanctl
/opt/bin/mss_fanctl 48 65 15


to /opt/etc/init.d/S99local


This works well for me so far but as always, no guaranty that it does for you!

Best regards,
Carsten

hi - thanks for this, but i get the "applet not found" error when i try to execute mss_fanctl. What am i missing?

thanks

[calli]

@tukkas: I have no idea? Did you copy it in the right directory? Are the execution rights set (chmod +x mss_fanctl)?

Regards,
Carsten

[wta]

Same problem here. Error: "mss_fanctl: applet not found".
I copied the binary to /opt/bin, set the execution rights (and ownership to root:root) and added the lines in /opt/etc/init.d/S99local.

I've not attempted this yet, but what firmwares are you all working with? Maybe calli is using something different from tukkas or wta, which is causing the problem?

[calli]

yes, I forgot!

The firmware here is: 2.4.2openMMS1...

[wta]

My firmware is 2.4.2-openmss1-rc1

[calli]

Hmm,

a quick search shows that this is an error from busybox, saying that this command is not known (compiled into) busybox.

So have you tried to call it (as root) with the full pathname (/opt/bin/mss_fanctl)? However if I type mss_ and pressing TAB the shell just completes to the full name.

Regards,
Carsten

[wta]

Yes, I tried to start it with the full pathname. And the binary is in the search path of my box (pressing tab completes to full name). Perhaps you have installed a required library or something else on your box before which we are missing?

I had installed hddtemp too

Now I have installed all the packages you listed but the problem with mss_fanctl remains.

@calli: Could you please have a look at the tgz-File you provided. The included atacmd.h looks a little bit broken. Perhaps something happened to the binary when compressing?

[calli]

Ha! Strange!

I somehow managed it to tar/gzip these files

A

file mss_fanctl

revealed it....

Please reload the archive. http://www.blenderbuch.de/openmms/mss_fanctl_cw2.tgz in case the webcache is causing problems...

SORRY for all the effort I caused!

Never mind. Because I have had the same problem sometime ago I came across this. Thanks for sharing the program. Hopefully my fan now gets (and remains) quiet.

Don't you need to add an ampersand (&) after the mss_fanctl line in the S99local file?
