I've given Ubuntu a try on my T61 laptop, but so far having a hard time getting tp-fancontrol running.

System info
Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy Heron
Kernel Linux 2.6.24-16 generic

What I've Done
- Gotten the latest tp-fancontrol script from ThinkWiki
- chmod +x to made the script executable
- modprobe ibm_acpi experimental=1
- modprobe thinkpad_acpi experimental=1 fan_control=1

Result
Quote:
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop# ./tp-fancontrol
16055: old priority 0, new priority -10
> Starting dynamic fan control
./tp-fancontrol: line 242: /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump: No such file or directory
> Shutting down, switching to automatic fan control
./tp-fancontrol: line 257: /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump: No such file or directory


Help? Thanks!

Problem solved:

Code:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.conf
options thinkpad_acpi experimental=1 fan_control=1


Reboot and config according to ThinkWiki as needed.
