I'm pretty sure I've done this before, but it's re-enabled itself and I've forgotten what I did.
Kubuntu is taking over my fan control from the BIOS, and it needs turning off. Kubuntu's fan control probably wouldn't normally be a problem, but I run BOINC so my CPU is constantly getting hammered, and thus really hot. There doesn't seem to be any limit on the adjust rate for the fan speed, and as a result the speed ramps up and down all the time, driving me nuts.
My BIOS has entirely adequate fan control, so I'd like to disable the OS's fan control so the BIOS gets on and does it. I can't figure out how. Google tells me that the daemon in charge of fan control is called fancontrol, and it's there in /etc/init.d, but not in my running processes. There are no messages related to it in the syslog, and attempting to /etc/init.d/fancontrol start or stop it has no effect.
Any suggestions?
