Fedora Support?

[massatt212]

can you support fedora, i love this program since it works on my rx 6400 compare to amdgpu-fan

[mcgillij]

I don't have any fedora boxes to test it out on, however it should be pretty straight forward to pull down the repo and load the systemd.service as long as you have these dependencies installed:

amdfan/PKGBUILD

Line 10 in 0dbff2e

depends=('python' 'python-yaml' 'python-numpy' 'python-rich' 'python-click')

[massatt212]

Hmm ok

[mcgillij]

https://github.com/mcgillij/amdfan/blob/main/src/amdfan/amdfan.service here's the systemd service file, I just have it symlinked to /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants similar things should work fine in fedora.

[massatt212]

So basically it's a copy paste job and activate service?

[mcgillij]

Yeah, there's nothing special going on here, it's just a python script with a systemd service to start it up.

This did not work for me. I just had to remake my systemd file so thanks for the great starting point. Perhaps it's because i installed via python. this is my systemd file

GNU nano 7.2 /usr/lib/systemd/system/amdfan.service

[Unit]
Description=amdfan controller
After=multi-user.target
Requires=multi-user.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/amdfan --daemon
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=final.target

only slightly different. but works for me

Note: that systemd file was created on Fedora 38 XFCE4 spin, installed via pip. If you'd like to do the same thing on regular Fedora 38 Gnome, it will be (for me)

[Unit]
Description=amdfan controller

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/amdfan --daemon
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Again, slightly different, but helpful for users that want a copy+ paste solution.

idk how im messing up the markdown so badly but i think u guys get it 

Yeah, the paths will be different based on where you installed it/how (if you grabbed it from pypi or github etc).

i gotchya, figured it was good practice to post here for reference of other users.

EDIT: Reference has been updated to include SOME other fedora spins.

[massatt212]

i cant get it to work at all on fedora

[l33m4n]

What problems are you experiencing with the program not working? Do you have any error messages you can report? I have used this program on Fedora 37-38 Xfce spin, as well as currently Fedora 38.

[massatt212]

let me reinstall it again, i see u have pip support, how do i install it via pip

[l33m4n]

I know this isn't good practice so I'd like to let mcgillij answer this for you. But I personally run
sudo pip install amdfan
I don't know if this is correct because to my knowledge you shouldn't install pip programs as root. Although amdfan requires root permission. So again, mcgillij's answer will be much better. I just do this because it works for me.

I would wait for the dev to reply then.

Ubuntu fedora installs stuff a lil different adds and extra folder usr/local/bin

Arch does usr/bin

[l33m4n]

am confused on what u mean by "Ubuntu fedora"

[massatt212]

Ubuntu and Fedora installs some stuff different from arch.

[mcgillij]

you can check if it's running with a systemctl status amdfan, however your service file should point to the correct location where you installed the script. And you can check what it's reporting with amdfan --monitor

which amdfan should also output where you installed it, if it's in your $PATH.

[massatt212]

But u should write a guide on how to install it on other distros

I don't use any other distro's sorry, and I made this package for Arch. Feel free to update the wiki or push up a PR with some docs.

[mcgillij]

https://github.com/mcgillij/amdfan/wiki I created the GH wiki, so anyone should be able to update it there.
