There seems to be no standard way of reading sensor information. This
requires installing an extra package (lm-sensors) and some manual
configuration. Without that information available, a checkbox test for
fans is impossible to write; further, since it would require the user
first installing lm-sensors and then ensuring the information returned
by it is accurate, this would completely defeat the purpose of then
checking this with checkbox.

I'll mark Won't Fix as this is not something that can be handled by
checkbox.

Thanks!

** Changed in: checkbox (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
