Installing Software / Re: Error while trying to install something on the terminal

Yes i installed a software called "powerctrl" to get performance, maybe this is why i get the error? And if it is, how do i delete the software?

linux-tools-common is associated with system monitoring applications so it is possible. We need to know what you did.
I'm not familiar with powerctl. Do you have any links to the method you used to install ?
Any reputable software should give instructions on how to uninstall and also show what packages it needs (dependencires)

Did your problems start after the powerctl installation ?

If you can directly attribute the problem to the powerctl install AND confirm powerctl uses linux-tools-common then either
1) try the command 'sudo apt --fix-broken install' as we did before without the '--dry-run' option.
2) uninstall powerctl

OBS-studio installs fine for me on a test system using the command line.
linux-tools-common isn't a dependency for obs-studio

When did your problem start ?
Can you recall what triggered it ?
Have you installed or tried to install any performance tools ?

If this is a fairly new set up you may want to consider starting again.

Other / Fan control iMac running

« Last post by PJC on April 07, 2024, 10:06:52 AM »

Hi

I'm new to Linux.. so hoping I can, firstly, get some help.. and secondly that I can understand how to implement the suggestions!

Here goes..

I have an iMac 2009. I recently upgraded from the HDD to a SSD, but in that process the HDD sensor is now not functioning. This means that the fan that is meant to keep the HDD/SSD cool runs at its maximum speed.

When I was on Mac OS I was able to download several apps that could control the HDD fan and lower the speed when required (which was most of the time).

Now that I'm on Linux Lite, I am struggling to find a way that I can control the HDD fan.

I've tried several forums suggestions:

https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/other-17/fan-runs-constantly/
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/v5vems/fan_control_software_for_linux/
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/on-topic/cpu-fan-controle/

Most (I think all) refer to sensors... but the nuance with my situation is that there is no sensor present! Is there a way to simply change the fan speed without addressing anything about its sensor?

Hoping for some help!
