Configure Thinkfan on newer Thinkpads
Install thinkfan + sensors and configure both
sudo aptitude install lm-sensors thinkfan
sudo sensors-detect # configure lm-sensors -> I accepted all the questions
sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf # add "options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1"
sudo reboot now
Make thinkfan start automatically
sudo vi /etc/default/thinkfan # "START=no" -> "START=yes"
Configure thinkfan to use the newly configured sensor
sudo vi /etc/thinkfan.conf # add "sensor /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input"
Start thinkfan now!
sudo thinkfan
