[Bug 884177] Re: fancontrol cannot read its own configuration file

[Phillip Susi]

Config files don't contain messages, they configure fancontrol to work.
Is the man page not sufficient?

I suppose the package could have a debconf question that prompts you to
run pwmconfig when you install it...


** Summary changed:

- fancontrol cannot read its own configuration file
+ fancontrol should have debconf prompt to run pwmconfig

** Changed in: lm-sensors (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Triaged

** Description changed:

- 
- $ fancontrol 
- Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ...
- Error: Can't read configuration file
- 
- $ lsb_release -rd
- Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
- Release:	11.10
- 
- ~$ apt-cache policy fancontrol
- fancontrol:
-   Installed: 1:3.3.0-4ubuntu1
-   Candidate: 1:3.3.0-4ubuntu1
-   Version table:
-  *** 1:3.3.0-4ubuntu1 0

-         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
+ The fancontrol package needs to be cofigured before it works.  This is
+ somewhat automated by pwmconfig.  The package should prompt and run
+ pwmconfig for you when installed.
