Hello,
I installed the thinkfan, followed the instructions and it seems it does something. But after starting thinkfan in terminal, the fan slows down for a second, but then immediately goes up to its stable 3600 RPM. After 10 seconds or so, it goes down again, but right back to 3600… These cycles are on and on. What might be the problem? (the same issue with using simple script for just stopping fan)
Using Thinkpad T410, Ubuntu 10.10
Big Thanks

EDIT by nobody: Got it. There seemed to be a conflict with Thinkpad fan control. Removing helped and now everything goes like should
