Description of problem: modprobe ec_sys results in this error : modprobe: FATAL: Module ec_sys not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.16-desktop-1.mga8 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-5.10.16-1.mga8.src.rpm How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. log in as root 2. type modprobe ec_sys 3. see the error message This is problematic as this module is currently the only way to control the fan speed on a lot of MSI laptops See here for more details : https://github.com/YoyPa/isw By the way packaging this isw tool could be nice to allow mageia users to use MSI laptops
ok, will enable in next kernel build
For errata? What is the effect: Does it cause computer to make much noise, or get too little cooling?
CC: (none) => fri
No. not everything reported in bugzilla or discussed om mls belongs in errata for stuff that has never been supported, it cant possible be a regression.
Oh, i did not realise it was an enhancement request
Hello, Thanks a lot Thomas. @Morgan: Indeed it's not a regression. The problem is that the fan starts turning very fast soon after the boot and never slows down even if the computer becomes idle. Very noisy result and it reduces noticeably the lifetime of the fan (at least). It also sucks down a lot of battery life. With this module enabled the fan can be controlled and slowed down to more reasonable speeds. My bad I could have made it more clear that it was not a regression. Will try to do better for the next bugs i create. Maât
