Fan issues with System76 Oryx Pro

Help
1

I’ve been fan issues on my Oryx Pro model since a recent update and I sometimes need to run in “battery” profile to keep the fan from running at a pretty high speed all the time.

I’m getting the following error output from the system76-power daemon:

I’d appreciate any help getting this sorted as it’s been quite annoying. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have been using my Galago Pro with no issues (granted, I did not realize there was a power daemon). What version of the Oryx is it? Namely, is it CoreBoot or proprietary firmware?

EDIT: I do not see an option for this daemon at all, how have you enabled it?

This is the option: hardware.system76.power-daemon.enable

You probably want to include the system76 nixos-hardware module instead, though, in case additional settings are required in the future and added upstream, so you don’t have to think about that manually: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/blob/9d87bc030a0bf3f00e953dbf095a7d8e852dab6b/system76/default.nix

Also see about adding the device-specific modules in the system76 directory, in case there’s one for your specific device.

That said, GNOME 40+ setups will cause the daemon to fail even if you configure this. I’ll see about submitting a PR to fix that at some point, likely forcibly disabling the GNOME power daemon if the system-76 one is enabled. I can’t test it though, so feel free to submit your own :slight_smile:

As for @curriedFunctions, could you share your configuration as well?

Given things work on the other thread, would be nice if you could try NixOS stable as well, just in case this is a regression. Makes it easier to track down the problem.

An lsmod and dmesg would be nice too, your logs indicate kernel issues.

Probably means fan settings aren’t working at all, by the way, and you setting the battery mode just makes whatever default settings the motherboard has happy by making the CPU use no energy at all or something.

Hello again,
I know this thread is quite old - I haven’t had the bandwidth to pursue this issue in the past year but the problem is still persisting. Any help you might offer would be much appreciated!

Here is my nixos configuration:

I did some more research and it seems that the fan daemon in system76-power is only for desktop systems. For laptops I think you need to modify the fan curve manually and flash the firmware (https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/4b86176659a85eaba918e776ad74d75016a747a8/docs/flashing.md), which I attempted to do but building the firmware with cargo install fails because it can’t find the libudev dependency. I’m not sure how to complete this process successfully on NixOS so I’m giving up and will just have to deal with the erratic fan behavior.

building the firmware with cargo install fails because it can’t find the libudev dependency

The link to github says nothing about cargo install. Can you provide a bit more context? If you want to build some Rust binary, I’d suggest you do it in a nix shell that provides the dependencies.

I think the make flash_internal command is using cargo to do the build. I’d tried entering a nix shell to run the make command in there, but I can’t figure out which specific dependencies are needed (the error mentions libudev, which isn’t in nixpkgs). I think there is a deps.sh script somewhere in that repo that might list all the dependencies, so I may try including all of those in the nix shell, as long as they actually correspond to things in nixpkgs.
