Bug Description
This is a variant of bug #1543046; so reporting it separately
Looks like thermald does not check for valid cpu model to avoid that spamming: mine is an old intel q9550, and journalctl has logged:
***********
thermald[791]: NO RAPL sysfs present
10 CPUID levels; family:
Need Linux PowerCap sysfs
failed to open /dev/acpi_
failed to open /dev/acpi_
TRT/ART read failed
...
...
Unsupported cpu model, use thermal-conf.xml file or run with --ignore-
THD engine start failed
*************
So thermal-conf.xml might be completed to blacklist some incompatible hardware i suppose.
As the spamming lines were hundreds, i've stopped it with:
sudo systemctl disable thermald
but this is not enough as shown by the lines above.
