Dear Linux folks,
On the Dell XPS 13 9370 with Debian sid/unstable, Linux warns about a
thermal related issue:
[ 0.000000] Linux version 5.18.0-4-amd64
(debian-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc-11 (Debian 11.3.0-5) 11.3.0, GNU
ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.38.90.20220713) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
Debian 5.18.16-1 (2022-08-10)
[…]
[ 0.000000] DMI: Dell Inc. XPS 13 9370/0RMYH9, BIOS 1.21.0
07/06/2022
[…]
[ 15.722394] thermal thermal_zone10: failed to read out thermal
zone (-61)
Can that warning be addressed?
Kind regards,
Paul
PS: There are twelve thermal zones:
