How do I control the fan on the XPS 9315 on my Ubuntu 22.04 machine?
One my previous XPS I could i8kutils, but it does not seem to work anymore.
I have done the following:
- Disabled secure boot.
- Used
dell-bios-fan-control to take control of the fans.
- Installed
lm-sensors using apt and ran sensors-detect.
- Installed
i8kutils using apt and enabled the kernel module.
- Output from
i8kctl:
1.0 1.8 GWXXXXX -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
sensors | grep fan does not return anything.
Here is the output from sensors-detect and sensors:
❯ sudo sensors-detect
# sensors-detect version 3.6.0
# System: Dell Inc. XPS 9315 (laptop)
# Board: Dell Inc. 00KRKP
# Kernel: 5.19.0-32-generic x86_64
# Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1250U (6/154/4)
This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): YES

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): YES

Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): YES
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): YES
Found unknown SMBus adapter 8086:51a3 at 0000:00:1f.4.
Sorry, no supported PCI bus adapters found.

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `coretemp':
* Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)
To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
coretemp
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!
Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)NO
