I have a compaq laptop with ACPI running Debian with acpid and acpi installed. My problem is that the fan is always on (whereas it is mostly silent when running on windows). I looked in the doc and I don't understand why I am on active cooling whereas the temperature is below the trip point: $ cat trip_points critical (S5): 96 C passive: 90 C: tc1=4 tc2=3 tsp=40 devices=0xcbf6e6e8 $ cat temperature temperature: 49 C Note that I do not have an "active" trip point defined. Also note that /proc/acpi/fan is empty. Thanks in advance for your help, Nico.
