Had to make an edit to get the service to run properly

[ryenigma]

So I noticed today that my amdgpu-fan service wasn't running (found out due to an overheating issue in a game). I had installed it using the pip3 installer and then to try and get the service running I downloaded the zip and moved the service file to /etc/systemd/system. After enabling I hadn't taken the time to check but apparently it was actually failing to start. Perhaps I am doing things wrong by combining installs but I had to edit the service file to point to /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin. Not a huge thing but it did take a little tweaking. Perhaps I am messing things up by downloading a separate service file but it is now working. Just for reference I am basically using ubuntu 18.04. With my tweak it seems to be working perfectly now. Thanks btw way for such a nice tool for keeping things working.

// EDIT: Fixed by removing and rebuilding the package.

Not sure if these issues are related since files are in /usr/bin for me.

amdgpu-fan won't start anymore on up-to-date Arch Linux with recent python3 packages:

journalctl -u amdgpu-fan.service

Thanks. Also an Arch urser. When updating Arch recently, this stopped working. Reinstalling fixed it, but makes me unsettled.

for reference

# now it's broken
$ sudo pacman -Rsn amdgpu-fan
$ yay amdgpu-fan
$ sudo systemctl restart amdgpu-fan.service
# now it's fixed

Presumably, this is a bug either in this project or in the AUR package.
