I would assume that since my Macbook is an older model (although upgraded with SSD) that there would be less proprietary hardware. I’m also aware that the kernel has an issue as far being able to detect fans and have direct control over them.
The just of what I’m asking is whether or not there is a way for me to successfully control my Mid-2012 Model Macbook Pro in order to be able to control the fan speed of my device. As such, I got an error issuing that said command which would be, “/usr/bin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed.” Then, I tried using sudo sensors-detect, which would thereby lead me to just typing sudo sensors. I have tried using the mbpfan package - that did not work. Touchpad drivers could also be better.I’m basically struggling to get an application or package - that will happen to let me control my fan speed. I should also mention that I'm not even going to think about using the Nvidia proprietary drivers on this thing (uses a discrete 9400m). If I were to buy a new laptop I would still get a business grade Dell or Lenovo machine (Latitude or Thinkpad). With those issues solved, running Linux on a Mac isn't that bad of an experience. I found some blog posts that seem to be from the creator. I'm going to maybe tinker with the source code of mbpfan and see if there are any improvements to be made. That was mostly me not knowing what I needed for the Broadcom BCM4322 (hint, you need broadcom_wl from the AUR). I also had some issues getting wifi to work. Only the mac has issues under linux with fan control. All of those work well along with my desktop running a 4770K and Asus motherboard. I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y500, Sony Vaio from 2007 or 2008, and an old Acer laptop from 2005.
This is the only laptop I've had where fan control was an issue.
