In the interest of figuring out what is going on, I would like to be able to monitor what signals are being sent to my fans, and what apps are sending those signals.

This leads me to suspect that an nVidia driver is at the root of my troubles.All three fancontrol apps seem to be unable to detect the temperature of the GPU, listing it at 0 degrees.Changing fan speed with any one program causes the fan speed to increase briefly, before returning to a low setting.So far, I've identified clevo-fancontrol, juno-fancontrol (produced by the laptop manufacturer), and fan-nvidia. This might have been a byproduct of a previous, failed attempt to resolve this situation, but it's certainly exacerbating it. It is powerful, scalable, reliable, and customizable software, despite being complex to configure. Multiple fancontrol type programs exist on my computer. This system monitoring tool for Ubuntu offers complete monitoring of servers and workstations including service and process state, operating system metrics, and file system usage, plus more.However, at some point, it appears that a driver or other app installation which I did has begun interfering with this and I no longer have easy control over the fan systems. When the laptop was factory new, it had an app always running which monitored temperature and gave me manual control over fan speed (with a generally-effective 'auto' setting). HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring program that reads PC systems main health sensors : voltages, temperatures, powers, currents, fans speed, utilizations. Background: I've been having difficulty controlling my (Ubuntu 20.04) laptop's cooling fans.
