Since I blew air into the fan “exhaust pipes” (?) of my PC, the fans make a funny sound.
Like a low-pitched noise.
I guess I have broken something, maybe I have broken a fan and now all the job must be done by the other fan?
So I’m trying to get the fan speed of my fans from Fedora, But I am unable to do so.
In order to get the fan speed, I followed the instructions here.
So I have issued:
sudo dnf install lm_sensors
Then:
sudo sensors-detect
and pressed “Enter” to all the questions.
The above command tells me that the configuration file was saved into '/etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors`.
Here is the content of that file:
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors
# Generated by sensors-detect on Sat Jul 10 08:01:46 2021
# This file is sourced by /etc/init.d/lm_sensors and defines the modules to
# be loaded/unloaded.
#
# The format of this file is a shell script that simply defines variables:
# HWMON_MODULES for hardware monitoring driver modules, and optionally
# BUS_MODULES for any required bus driver module (for example for I2C or SPI).
HWMON_MODULES="coretemp"
Now to get the fan speed I try the command:
sudo sensors
This is its output:
$ sudo sensors
iwlwifi_1-virtual-0

As you can seen there is only the temperature, not the fan speed.
How do I get the fan speed?
