Why do you think it's error? I don't know thermald but I did the same and it's running:

Code:

$ ps aux | grep '[t]hermald'
root      7932  0.0  0.0 120336  6020 ?        Ssl  01:14   0:00 thermald start

And I don't think you even need start. In README it says:

Quote:

Since this is a daemon, it can be started at boot via /etc/rc.d/rc.local: /sbin/thermald

OK, first let's make sure that you have installed thermald from Slackbuilds.org. Show output of this command:

Code:

grep /sbin/thermald /var/log/packages/thermald-1.9-x86_64-2_SBo

It should say usr/sbin/thermald.

Second, make sure you run it with root:

Code:

$ su -
Password:

Try the Moo Shu Pork.  It is especially good today.

root@comp:~# thermald
Ready to serve requests: Daemonizing.. 1
root@comp:~# ps aux | grep '[t]hermald'
root      5720  0.0  0.0 120132  4372 ?        Ssl  15:42   0:00
thermald

Third, try with --no-daemon and check what happens:

Code:

root@comp:~# thermald --no-daemon
[WARN]13 CPUID levels; family:model:stepping 0x6:3c:3 (6:60:3)

I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/etc/thermald/thermal-conf.xml"
[WARN]error: could not parse file /etc/thermald/thermal-conf.xml

As you I get some warnings and errors but thermald is running nonetheless.

yes.if run it with root thermald working

Code:

➜  ~ ps aux | grep '[t]hermald'
root      1743  0.0  0.0  93852  5408 ?        Ssl  18:35   0:00 thermald start
root      2497  0.0  0.0  93936  8048 pts/0    Tl   18:48   0:00 thermald --no-daemon

thanks for your help
now how i can set thermald start at boot?
becuse this file not available:

Code:

/etc/rc.local

and i have this problem also:
i edit grub and write this:

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_pstate=passive acpi_osi=Linux acpi_osi='!Windows 2012' acpi=force acpi_enforce_resources=lax acpi_mask_gpe=0x17"

but not working:

Code:

➜  ~ cat /proc/cmdline    
BOOT_IMAGE=dev000:\EFI\Slackware\vmlinuz  root=/dev/sda2 vga=normal ro ro

Thanks

I'm confused - if thermald is run as non-root user it emits an error:

Code:

$ thermald start
You must be root to run thermald!

Did you run 'thermald start's as root in your first post? If yes, how is it possible that you didn't get this message?

And you didn't see thermald runing but now you did exactly the same and now you see it?

It's /etc/rc.d/rc.local, NOT /etc/rc.local.

0XBF · 03-15-2020, 11:18 AM

I think you mean /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Its a script file that gets run at boot time. You can edit it and add custom entries to start, like your thermald application I suppose (although I've never used it).

Too slow... :P

That time i thinking thermald not working because temperature 60° to 65° and now with start thermald not different still 60° to 65°
In manjaro temperature at 50° to 55°
And i didn't know how to check services status in slackware

And for rc.local i mistake to write location file. This file not available at /etc/rc.d/

File not available at this address /etc/rc.d/
You mean better not use this file?

0XBF · 03-15-2020, 02:24 PM

The scripts in /etc/rc.d/ are installed there by the sysvinit-scripts package from slackware's 'a' series of packages. I'm not sure what you have installed if it's missing, or how you are booting slackware with that directory missing.

SLACKER1 · 03-15-2020, 04:47 PM

sorry

/etc/rc.d/rc.local is available

sorry my mistake.

Code:

cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local 
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/rc.local:  Local system initialization script.
#
# Put any local startup commands in here.  Also, if you have
# anything that needs to be run at shutdown time you can
# make an /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown script and put those
# commands in there.

now how add thermald to this file for start at boot?

Thanks

You need to learn to read documentation, it will save you and other users a lot of time. There are the relevant lines from README:

Code:

Since this is a daemon, it can be started at boot via /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
  /usr/sbin/thermald

An entry could be added to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown as well:
  killall thermald
