Thinkfan won't run on startup, but I can make it run with the command systemctl start thinkfan.service. Running a status check on it to see if it's running after rebooting gives me this error:
root@ThinkPad-T470:/home/mickbeck# systemctl status thinkfan.service

What gives?

Okay so I got it working by removing the virtual temp levels from my /etc/thinkfan.conf file.
Not sure if this is going to be a problem, just having coretemp lvls. But it works
