Lenovo Legion Y530 Laptop Fans Not Turning On (i7-8750H processor running Ubuntu 16.04)
I have a new Lenovo Legion Y530 laptop with an i7-8750H processor. I have two solid state drives installed, one for Ubuntu MATE 16.04 and another for Windows 10. While in Windows 10 the laptop fans are working fine. However, while in Ubuntu I have not heard the fans come on at all. I have not really done anything except surf the web trying to figure out why my fans are not coming on.
I have installed sensors and it shows that fan1 is always at 8 rpms, which is odd because I was physically watching the fans when it said they were at 8 rpms and they were not moving at all. The six processor core temperatures are sitting around 38-48 Celsius.
I also installed hardinfo and it is not detecting any cooling fans or temperatures under Devices->sensors.
I am assuming this is either a driver issue or I am just not really working the processor enough for the fans to kick on.
So, I am wondering if there is a tool for testing the fans on a laptop and if there is a way to check that I have the latest drives for my hardware?
