I have rerun |||pwmconfig, it regenerated a new |||||/etc/fancontrol , but
it was not working better. So, ||||||||||pwmconfig generates config files
which are not acceptable for the fancontrol.service .
Obviously, either fancontrol.service is asking more than before, but
||||||||||||||pwmconfig was not updated to follow, or,
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||pwmconfig has a regression bug.
The config file I had in the past year, working fine before update:
||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||# Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will
be lost
INTERVAL=300

The config file I am using now to get service accept to start:
