I get this error when trying to run the program.
I'm on linux arch, everything up-to-date.
Laptop is a Lenovo Y500 with 2 geforce 650m

❯ sudo nvfancontrol -d

As the program stands there is no support for multiple GPU configurations. It should not really be hard to support multiple GPUs but I can not test the code effectively as I only have one card. So in order to do anything I would need feedback. I have attached a build with more verbose output so that I can see where the error is triggered. Please send the output until the program crashes.

Thanks!!

Oh! And running it as root is not really necessary.

@foucault Thanks for the build!

This is the output, without root.

From what little I can gather from this output it seems like there are no software-controlled fans, because the only possible out-of-range BadValue that get_fanspeed_rpm() can emit is when selecting the coolers. Still, try this build; it should print an INFO with the number of available coolers when the program starts. For example in my computer I get

INFO - Found 1 cooler(s)

The GPUs have a cooler, it can be controlled with the Lenovo Energy Management Utility in windows. I'm looking for a way to get it to work on linux, since I feel It should kick in sooner

Spyros Stathopoulos · Answer 5 · Wed Jul 12 2017 00:37:13 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Yes it is as I was suspecting. It seems NV-CONTROL (the X11 protocol that nvfancontrol uses) can not find any controllable fans. Since this is a laptop there is some chance that the fans are governed by the motherboard firmware instead of the nvidia chipset itself. Can you please check if you can set the fan speed through nvidia-settings? You can do that either through the command line by issuing

nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1" -a "[fan:0]/GPUCurrentFanSpeed=X"

where X is the percentage of the fan speed (eg 50 for 50%), or through GUI

Pablo Ovelleiro Corral · Answer 6 · Mon Jul 17 2017 14:09:54 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

That doesn't seem to work for me:

❯ nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1" -a "[fan:0]/GPUCurrentFanSpeed=90"


  Attribute 'GPUFanControlState' (binaryplease-laptop:0[gpu:0]) assigned value
  1.


ERROR: Error resolving target specification 'fan:0' (No targets match target
       specification), specified in assignment
       '[fan:0]/GPUCurrentFanSpeed=90'.

Spyros Stathopoulos · Answer 7 · Mon Jul 17 2017 17:34:08 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

As long as Coolbits is enabled fans should have been exposed for direct control to NV-CONTROL. Since this doesn't seem to be the case the GPU fan is most probably handled by the motherboard firmware. As such, there is not must that I can do, I'm afraid :-(

Pablo Ovelleiro Corral · Answer 8 · Mon Jul 17 2017 20:49:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Well thanks anyway for your help. I have not been able to control it via the motherboard on linux though. Seems to be a windows-exclusive feature.
