Thinkpad Fan control in Xubuntu 16.04 LTS

For anyone looking for a guide:

Requirements

* Python 2.7
* DBus, GTK+, libglade and GNU gettext with bindings for Python
* pkexec to obtain superuser privileges

 Ubuntu users need to install the package python-gobject

Download
https://github.com/tpfanco/tpfancod
https://github.com/tpfanco/tpfanco-admin

then extract the files to a temporary folder

Go to the tpfancod-master folder and open a terminal, then run this command

sudo make install-systemd

Then

sudo systemctl enable tpfancod

Reboot your laptop


Then in terminal run

systemctl status tpfancod

Close the terminal window if everything ok, if not then go to https://github.com/tpfanco/tpfancod/issues and file the issue

Now open the tpfanco-admin-master folder

Open a terminal and run

sudo make install

then

Reboot your laptop

Open a terminal and run

tpfanco-admin_polkit

Reboot once more and you can find tpfanco-admin in Applications>Settings

You have to type your password for it to work.

Hope this helps someone
