Description Hin-Tak Leung 2016-01-29 23:59:33 UTC 
Description of problem:

I believe this is a kernel 4.3.x regression - it was working alright with 4.2.x.

No support for device type: thermal

and I have floods of messages in /var/log/messages about:

gnome-shell.desktop: Gjs-Message: JS LOG: error reading: /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/cooling_device0/cur_state

/sys/devices/virtual/thermal does not exist, although I have:

# find /sys/  -type f -name '*temp*'
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_crit

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.3/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_max
/sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_attempted_poll

I think I have at least two temperature sensors on this hardware.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-4.3.3-301.fc23.x86_64
kernel-4.3.3-303.fc23.x86_64
kernel-4.3.4-300.fc23.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always since upgraded to kernel 4.3.x from 4.2.x, I think.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use kernel 4.3.x, run "acpi -V" , or look for /sys/devices/virtual/thermal
2.
3.

Actual results:
'acpi -V' shows:
No support for device type: thermal
No support for device type: thermal

Expected results:
'acpi -V' should tell me the temperatures from the sensors.

Comment 1 Hin-Tak Leung 2016-02-26 06:00:37 UTC 
Upgrading to 4.4.2 seems to have cured it.

would be nice to know what broke and what fixed, but otherwise this can close as CURRENTRELEASE .
