testing trial arm image pi 5

testing trial arm images and just tested rpi-5-devuan-daedalus-6.12.41-arm64-ext4-2025-08-18-0209.img
and it boots, but when it reaches the login prompt, the cooling fan stopped running and I didn't think IT would
be a good idea to try to proceed.
testing on pi 5 4gb which is tested w a debian image.
I am not sure if there is someoe  who prefers feedback directly. since i only used the forum 1 time previously.!

The fan on the RPi5 only comes on when necessary, it does come on at start up for a few seconds, that is normal.

Re: testing trial arm image pi 5

Same here, it's perfectly normal for a RPi5 fan to start briefly at startup, then stop until any high load is put on the CPU. Which is actually an interesting experiment, to find what puts the highest demand on the CPU, or maybe the graphics. In my case, the one website which always starts the fan spinning is FlightRadar24.
