Howdy guys... I'm probably being really stupid here but I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

 

When trying to install any of the new plugins I get this happen and then the plugin doesn't appear to work?

 

What is required to get Auto Fan Control working? My system has a SuperMicro X10SLL-F mobo that supports PWM fan speed control via IPMI. When I try to auto detect a controller nothing is detected. Is there something else needed for this plugin to work? Maybe something must be configured first?

 

No nothing else is needed to install. Detect scans the folder /sys/devices and lists all pwm controllers it finds. You can do a manual scan with this command to see what is available for your motherboard:

 

find /sys/devices -type f -iname 'pwm[0-9]'

The proper way of installation is to copy and paste the URL links in the OT one-by-one and put them in the installation box (2nd tab of the plugins page). Click install to start installation

That is exactly what I did!

I believe I've seen similar in the Docker world here, make sure your DNS is configured and working.  One test is to ping google.com at a command prompt.

Seems you don't have any pwm controllers.

 

As an example on my system:

#find /sys/devices -type f -iname 'pwm[0-9]'
/sys/devices/platform/nct6775.656/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm1
/sys/devices/platform/nct6775.656/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm2

Why is the UPS Status plugin no longer available?  Is it because it is being rolled into 6.1 final?

So I would need a different mother board?

I too am trying to get the Autofan working.  My motherboard for sure has a pwm fan port and yet I get nothing at all when running that command - find /sys/devices -type f -iname 'pwm[0-9]'

 

So why isn't Detect finding my pwm controller and how can I make it find it?

Try running this:

Ok weird, now it would seem I do not have perl installed.

 

root@Tower:~# curl -skL http://www.lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/trunk/prog/detect/sensors-detect | perl

-bash: perl: command not found

 

I'll have to install again. Is there a plugin for perl or install the old fashion way?

I think the old way.

 

http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/d/perl-5.18.1-x86_64-1.txz

 

Into /boot/extra .

 

ok, so I can just create the Extra folder again (it was removed when I upgraded to ver6) and reboot?

 

Or do I need to run the installpkg command on the console?  I thought with unraid ver6, that we were not supposed to use the manual way and the EXtra folder??

 

Edit:  I went ahead and created the Extra folder and put there, rebooted and it is now installed.  I still get nothing when running the find /sys/devices -type f -iname 'pwm[0-9]'

 

Still does not Detect anything??

You actually need to install the Dynamix System Temperature plugin to do detection and installation of drivers (this is using perl to do so).

 

After drivers have been installed they will be used by the AutoFan plugin.

 

I had already done that, system temps been working for weeks.

 

I will dig through the BIOS settings again and make sure I didn't miss anything.  I may be disabled in the BIOS.

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.

VIA Nano thermal sensor...                                  No

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): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'...               No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'...               No

Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'...               No
Trying family `ITE'...                                      No

Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no): Found `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca2...                            Success!
    (confidence 8, driver `to-be-written')

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): 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): Using driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel Lynx Point (PCH)
