When I run sensors, it returns the following:
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0: +51.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0: +51.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +50.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +48.0°C (crit = +200.0°C)
thinkpad-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1: 0 RPM
the acpitz-virtual-0 temperature is always 48, and the fan never starts running as a consequence.
The sensors-detect gives the following output:
# sensors-detect revision 6284 (2015-05-31 14:00:33 +0200)
# System: LENOVO 20ARS04V00 [ThinkPad T440s] (laptop)
# Kernel: 4.15.0-29-generic x86_64
# Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4300U CPU @ 1.90GHz (6/69/1)
This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): Module cpuid loaded successfully.

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f

Trying family `SMSC'... No

Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x1901
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): Found unknown SMBus adapter 8086:9c22 at 0000:00:1f.3.
Sorry, no supported PCI bus adapters found.

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `coretemp':
* Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)
To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
coretemp
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!
Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)Successful!
Monitoring programs won't work until the needed modules are
loaded. You may want to run '/etc/init.d/kmod start'
to load them.
Unloading cpuid... OK

I have Ubuntu 18.4. Is there any way to solve this problem?
sensorsdo not show real values for some hardware. – N0rbert Jul 28 '18 at 10:33systemctl status fancontrol.serviceandlsmod | grep acpito the question. – N0rbert Jul 28 '18 at 11:10fancontrol.serviceis the same as yours. But I do not know about ThinkPad's fan-control. You can try to boot the system into Windows or previous version of Ubuntu live-cd to ensure that fan is working. Fan may have possible hardware fault after 5 years (counting from your CPU model release date). – N0rbert Jul 28 '18 at 12:04paste <(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/type) <(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp) | column -s $'\t' -t– WinEunuuchs2Unix Jul 28 '18 at 14:40tlpinstead offancontrolIt works perfectly for me. If the temperatures reported in the system (using the one liner I posted) then start searching there. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jul 28 '18 at 21:07
