INSTALL THIS SHIT

apt-get install lm-sensors thinkfan

Enable fan control

check if /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf exists and add this into it: 

options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1"

and re/load module: 

modprobe -rv thinkpad_acpi
modprobe -v thinkpad_acpi

Set thinkfan to run at startup

Edit /etc/defaults/thinkfan

Change START=no to START=yes or add into it

coretemp? DUNNO

I added this in /etc/modules: 

# Chip drivers
coretemp

this is needed, I think, for sensors command.

BECAUSE SHIT HAPPENS

/proc/acpi/ibm/thermal: No such file or directory

so try: 

sudo sensors-detect

but also 

find /sys/devices -type f -name "temp*_input"

this gives you a list of SHIT. I configured it in /etc/thinkfan.conf. You will see it below.

thinkfan.conf

# this is needed
tp_fan /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

# this came from above. there's also zone1 but I'm not using it. 
hwmon /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp


# my temp settings follow.
# Fan level 0 (off) - 7 (max.), 127 ("disengaged", ie full load without control)
# Temperature when reaching in the descending direction of the fan level is reduced by 1
# Temperature when reaching in the ascending direction of the fan level is increased by 1
# Note: Only the highest value of all configured temperature sensors is taken into account.
(0, 0,  60) 
(1, 53, 65) 
(2, 55, 66) 
(3, 57, 68) 
(4, 61, 70) 
(5, 64, 71) 
(7, 68, 74)
("level full-speed", 70, 32767)

After all this, start thinkfan

the FULL SPEED require -D (dangerous) to start thinkfan from rc.d

so, in rc.d, add 

/usr/sbin/thinkfan -D

THAT'S IT
