I installed Fedora 29 to Asus X542U. Now fan is working always and I can not control it. I tried sudo modprobe asus_laptop command but result is:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'asus_laptop': No such device

also I typed

dmesg | grep asus

result is

[    5.353567] asus_wmi: ASUS WMI generic driver loaded

[    5.358125] asus_wmi: Initialization: 0x1

[    5.358180] asus_wmi: BIOS WMI version: 9.0

[    5.359947] asus_wmi: Number of fans: 0

[ 9813.808938] asus_wmi: Unknown key cf pressed

You can see asus_wmi: Number of fans: 0.

also I checked fancontrol service

➜  ~ fancontrol

Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ...

Error: Can't read configuration file



➜  ~ systemctl status fancontrol         

● fancontrol.service - Start fan control, if configured

   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/fancontrol.service; disabled; vendor>

   Active: inactive (dead)

I started fancontrol service with this command: systemctl start fancontrol

but again it is not working

➜  ~ systemctl status fancontrol

● fancontrol.service - Start fan control, if configured

   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/fancontrol.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)

   Active: inactive (dead)

there is no fan info in output of sensors command

What should I do ?

Have you checked the system BIOS for settings relating to fan control? I had a similar issue on an HP laptop and managed to sort it out from there.
