Fan Speed Control

checksumerror · April 6, 2019 at 5:41 PM

Since updating to Liea, my machine (standard x86 hardware) is running noisy on the menu's.

I logged into (ssh) to try and install some fan speed control / lm-sesnors.. but can't as the distro is limited (no Git, Make, Apt, GCC)

Any advice?

I have no advice how to control fan speed by LE. The GUI is running significantly smother since 9.0, so I think multi-threading is the cause. That's a sign of good programming.

You can connect the fan cables directly to the PSU. Then you have constant fan speed, which is maybe not that loud.

I think if you're having fan noise then it's more than likely that something is using tooooo much cpu.

Please provide a screen shot via ssh of top

Also the URL form dmesg | paste

and

Please provide a full debug log.

How to post a log (wiki)

1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
2. Restart Kodi
3. Replicate the problem
4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

So it appears its kodi.bin, its using around 49 % when just sat in the menu.

Any ideas?

See post #2 (it's a proof of my GUI theory)
