New user here. I'm trying to follow this guide to install CoolerControl to Zorin OS 18 Pro: Debian Based | CoolerControl

This part causes issues for me:

Install prerequisites:

curl -1sLf \
  'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/coolercontrol/coolercontrol/setup.deb.sh' \
  | sudo -E bash

Which gives me error:

Checking if upstream install config is OK ...

I tried then running the curl command like so:

curl -1sLf \
  'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/coolercontrol/coolercontrol/setup.deb.sh' \
  | distro=ZorinOS version=18 codename=zorin sudo -E bash

But this gave the exact same error. Has anybody else gotten CoolerControl working in Zorin?

I'll try contacting CoolerControl aswell if they have any suggestions.

Okay so for anybody else fighting with this issue, I managed to progress a little bit.

Use this command instead and it should install properly:

curl -1sLf \
  'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/coolercontrol/coolercontrol/setup.deb.sh' \
  | sudo -E distro=ubuntu codename="Noble Numbat" bash

Now I have the app installed properly. However, the app doesn't recognize any of my system fans, and only shows fans for my Nvidia GPU. And even the GPU fans are not reporting any rpm.

So it turns out my motherboard which is Gigabyte branded needs some extra work done for the fans to be recognized by the system. By following this tutorial (Gigabyte Aorus - Linux fan control.md · GitHub), and rebooting my system, I managed to get all the fans show up in the CoolerControl app. Also, if i run the sensors command in terminal, this also shows now the fans with their RPMs and voltages and whatnot (previously it didn't).

However, even if go and change the fan speeds manual in CoolerControl, they dont seem to have any effect as none of my chassis fans react to any of the changes... Bummer. This, and also the issue of the GPU fans not reporting any RPM in the dashboard.

I will report back here if I ever manage to get this working.
