I have those installed:

Code:
sudo apt-get -y install acpi-call-tools tp-smapi-dkms

And installed back those:

Code:
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors read-edid i2c-tools

Code:
Sensors:   System Temperatures: cpu: 41.0C mobo: N/A 

           Fan Speeds (in rpm): cpu: 2586

Also this says to me that lm-sensors is not the best solution.

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_sensors

Quote:Basic ACPI system temperature sensors

The primary means of accessing the thermal sensors is through the thinkpad-acpi module, up to 16 sensors are supported. When the module is loaded, the sensors (some of which may be inactive) are shown through the standard sysfs hwmon interface used by the lm-sensors utilities, and also in /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal (which is deprecated and has been removed from the latest versions of the module).

lm-sensors/libsensors uses the hwmon interface exposed through /sys/bus/platform/devices/thinkpad_hwmon/ to read the temperatures, note that the sysfs interface returns normal open errors instead of weird values for sensors that are not active (which the simplistic sensors command ignore). lm-sensors/libsensors can be configured to give proper names to each sensor, which will be used by any properly written sensor applet.

So naturally my question is how do I get thinkpad-acpi module to work?

Hi,

did you.

Code:
sudo sensors-detect

and say "YES/yes" to all the prompts.?

Then re-boot.?

Yes I did.

This is my output on:

Code:
neo@Matrix-ThinkPad-T430:~$ sudo sensors

O.K,

I think the issue is not LL related, it's how the acpi/kernel and the T430 hardware are interacting.
Doing a quick Google indicates you are not alone in trying to get various feature of the T430 working on any ubuntu based variant.
You may need to look at T430 forums for more uptodate fixes/patches

I'm having an issue with wifi & hdmi on a new mini pc based on a J1800 Celeron(Bay Trail)
It does not correctly function even on a Live "Ubuntu"
