Trond: have you made sure the i8k module is loaded ? Try "sudo lsmod | grep i8k". If this returns nothing, then you don't have i8k loaded, so try "sudo modprobe i8k".
This ought to let i8kmon work. If so you can add "i8k" to the file /etc/modules to have it loaded automatically every time. I hope I'm not telling you things you already know. If this doesn't sort you out then someone who knows more about i8k will have to take over, but it's worth checking this first. -- i8k module not automatically tuning on fans https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91403 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
