Thinkfan not working on leap 42.1 despite much configuring

Hallo,

I Installed thinkfan and did everything I found on different forums as well as what was suggested on this very forum.

I have a lenovo t420 and thinkfan doesn’t work yet.

I configured 50-thinkpad_acpi.conf and thinkpad-acpi.conf as suggested.

I configured thinkfan.conf with (I think) the appropriate indication, pls look below.

if I enter /etc/init.d/thinkfan start a no such file message appears

These are the relevant parts of my thinkfan.con file

hwmon /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input
hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp3_input
hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input
hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp2_input

sensor /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp1_input
sensor /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.2/temp1_input
sensor /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input

(0, 0, 55)
(1, 50, 59)
(2, 55, 65)
(3, 58, 69)
(4, 62, 72)
(5, 65, 74)
(7, 68, 32767)

this are the results of my modprobe

modprobe thinkpad_acpi
libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/50-thinkpad_acpi.conf line 1: ignoring bad line starting with ‘experimental=1’
libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/50-thinkpad_acpi.conf line 2: ignoring bad line starting with ‘fan_control=1’
libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad-acpi.conf line 1: ignoring bad line starting with ‘experimental=1’
libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad-acpi.conf line 2: ignoring bad line starting with ‘fan_control=1’

and this is my

cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
status: enabled
speed: 65535
level: auto
commands: level <level> (<level> is 0-7, auto, disengaged, full-speed)
commands: enable, disable
commands: watchdog <timeout> (<timeout> is 0 (off), 1-120 (seconds))

and this is my sensors

Core 1: +38.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

Frankly speaking I’m exhausted at trying

ty for any effort on your part
