Package: thermald Version: 1.5-2 Severity: normal Looking at the status of thermald, it gives an unclear status whether the daemon is running fine or not.
Most I can see is errors. Looking at bug reports upstream: https://github.com/01org/thermal_daemon/issues/41 some of them are reported as feature attributes, which not being present on host CPU, as reported as failed. Should these be reported on a daemon's standard operation ? Then, there are I/O warnings/errors, which I'm not sure if they are important. It would be much clean and simple if these messages, if not important, are marked as verbose and only present if the daemon is running in verbose mode. rrs@chutzpah:~$ journalctl --unit thermald --this-boot -- Logs begin at Sat 2015-07-11 23:43:50 IST, end at Fri 2016-04-08 19:39:56 IST. -- Apr 08 00:32:09 chutzpah systemd[1]: Starting Thermal Daemon Service...
