Fix not being able to start service because temperature not yet available
sometimes it takes a while for the temperature of the gpu to become available, leading to
FILE_TEMP=$(echo /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon?/temp1_input)
being empty and the service failing with "invalid hwmon files".
I tried to look for a valid service to start after, but it doesn't seem to exist. Alternative to this solution there's a few others:
- Restart (with 5 sec delays) until service starts successfully.
- Add a path watcher for
/sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon?/temp1_input
The first could lead to an infinite restart loop, the second muddles logic from the amdgpu_control
script and the service.
Open to suggestions. The fix suggested in #25 is not sufficient for me, but this works.
fixes #25
Hi, thanks for reaching out.
I'm not going to merge a sleep
patch, but keep this one open for documentation purposes for now, it might help people after all. I'll add some additional thoughts in #25
I've now updated it to just do a restart on failure. Would you be open to merging that?
Despite your intention of this code being only a demo script, it is now directly mentioned in the Arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_speed_control#fancurve_script
Therefore it would be nice if the default setup at least starts on most machines.
