I used to be able to run the nvfancontrol.service. I had a minor issue where I couldn't seem to get it to run properly on startup, so I would just rerun it after logging in.
After a long vacation, I got back home and it wouldn't start (probably after an update).
So I looked for an update to nvfancontrol.service and saw you released 0.50, so I downloaded and ran that. Now I get a new error. Do you have a suggestion how to most easily fix this? I'm fine with co-locating the dependencies with your application to minimize breakage other places in my system.

I saw some other person in a different forum mentioned using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to pin a version that was downloaded. I wanted to see what you suggest before doing weird stuff to fix it.

Hi! Your glibc is probably older than 2.32. The obvious solution is to build it yourself, it's a relatively straightforward procedure (see here) You only need libXNVCtrl, libXlib, libXext and of course a Rust compiler. All should be available from the Ubuntu repositories. The long-term solution is me doing builds in an isolated environment, preferably with glibc 2.27 or thereabouts. Unfortunately glibc is the only dependency we cannot reliably vendor.
OK so I rebuilt it in an ubuntu bionic environment. Could you please check if it works for you?
Yes, it works great!
Thanks so much.
Thanks for making this project by the way. The auto spin up/down on my fan for whatever reason doesn't work great so I get a click as it spins down and starts back up. It drives me absolutely batty. Your project is saving sanity cells! 😄
Great! That's good to know. I will update the existing linux binary with the one targeting GLIBC_2.27. Hopefully it's "good enough" for most cases. Again, the linux binaries are mostly provided for convenience; ideally I should provide some ubuntu/debian packages to avoid these issues. Maybe in the future.
