Hi there!
I'm a little new to Linux. I was trying configure the fans for my laptop using pwmconfig and fancontrol. The pwmconfig was successful in creating a config file configuring it correctly, but when I run sudo fancontrol I get the following output:
Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ...
Common settings:
INTERVAL=10
Settings for hwmon6/pwm1:
Depends on hwmon6/temp2_input
Controls hwmon6/fan1_input
MINTEMP=42
MAXTEMP=60
MINSTART=100
MINSTOP=60
MINPWM=0
MAXPWM=255
AVERAGE=1
Enabling PWM on fans...
Starting automatic fan control...
/usr/bin/fancontrol: line 551: read: read error: 0: Invalid argument
Error reading PWM value from /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1
Aborting, restoring fans...
Verify fans have returned to full speed
Here's my fancontrol configuration file:
# Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost
INTERVAL=10
DEVPATH=hwmon6=devices/platform/dell_smm_hwmon
DEVNAME=hwmon6=dell_smm
FCTEMPS=hwmon6/pwm1=hwmon6/temp2_input
FCFANS= hwmon6/pwm1=hwmon6/fan1_input
MINTEMP=hwmon6/pwm1=42
MAXTEMP=hwmon6/pwm1=60
MINSTART=hwmon6/pwm1=100
MINSTOP=hwmon6/pwm1=60
I probably think it's a problem with the pwm1 file and tried accessing it (it exists btw) through dolphin (using kate) and even tried cating it and it gave the following output:
cat: pwm1: Invalid argument
I searched the internet for similar topics but there were no similar topics out there.

And I should say this, I'm dual booting with windows but there is a separate bootloader file for Garuda Linux (not sure if it's the right phrase) and I have not encountered a single issue regarding this. Let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks in advance!
