[koba (kobako)]

hi, would you mind to help on checking, if upstream thermald also happens?

#git clone https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon.git
#As per README.md,
#./autogen prefix=/
#make

Before run the upstream thermald, stop the original daemon
#systemctl stop thermald.service
#sudo ./thermald --no-daemon --adaptive

[madigal (osse7)]

Looks like this has been seen in the past:

sudo groupadd power
sudo usermod --groups power --append $USER

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1170790/log-alert-unknown-group-power-in-message-bus-config-file

But after a reboot, thermald.service is still failing; only the 'power' warning is gone.

By default on Xubuntu 23.10, `/etc/thermald/thermal-conf.xml` does not exist.

Run `sudo apt install dptfxtract`
This creates `/etc/thermald/thermal-conf.xml.auto`

sudo systemctl restart thermald

TL;DR

Check if this fixes it for you.

sudo apt install dptfxtract
sudo systemctl restart thermald

[koba (kobako)]

@Anaggh, thanks,
I'm surprised by this and thought it doesn't matter the xml isn't there.
btw, there's a dependency issue of thermald.
i will check further, thanks

this fixed it for me

Am on Ubuntu 23.10 , and thermald always crashed/core-dump

＠madigal, could you upload the whole thermald lod?

and systemctl status thermald.service

[madigal (osse7)]

systemctl status thermald.service :

#30 is the full load

[madigal (osse7)]

Maybe related to: https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon/pull/422/files
or: https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon/issues/416

[Hervé Fache (rvfh)]

When booting on Linux 6.2 the bug disappears (and other bugs too BTW: broken suspend, missing kernel logs)

[madigal (osse7)]

On Noble, i just got a new thermald package : 2.5.5-1

and after a reboot, the log now is:

journalctl -b | grep thermald

Looks good at first glance; except the "no temp sysfs" lines.

[Francois Thirioux (fthx)]

In Noble we have to wait for 2.5.6 because of:
https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon/issues/428

[John Smith (chromastone)]

This bug exists on Kubuntu 23.10 as well,
and,

Fix:
Run `sudo apt install dptfxtract`

... DOES work,

on it as well.

Kernel: 6.5.0-14-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC

[madigal (osse7)]

note that dptfxtract is obsolete and no more maintained; it also have been removed from lots of repos
