Dell Vostro 200 fan speeds

I recently installed Ubuntu (18.04.1 LTS) on my old desktop to use as a server. I have been trying to manage the fan speeds, but I cannot get it to work.
I started out with this tutorial:
How to control fan speed?
After that didn't work I read up that dell's need some more work and tried this:
Fan speed in ubuntu: pwmconfig no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
But pwmconfig still says There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed.
And i8kctl just gives me this: 1.0 1.0 BJ17YG1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
I'm not even sure if i8k is for dell desktops, maybe only for laptops.
If someone can help me out, that would be awesome, Thanks!

I've got exactly the same problem with pwmconfig and decided to implement it on my own.
Try this utility https://github.com/ichiriac/ubuntu-smart-fan, it's based on lm-sensors and it will manage the fan speed and log them.
At start you can run it as a monitor in order to seed the fan behavior.
After calibrating the temperature and thresholds you will be able to run it as a daemon on your server, and retrieve a log with fan events

Thanks for this. I tried it but I get: Looking for sensors Unable to find any fan device Try to run sensors-detect

Did you ransudo sensors-detectwithout any error. If so that means no sensors was detected. Take a look at the /sys/class/hwmon folder, you should find into a subfolder a file named fan[1...x]_label. If you want me to help you could also fill an issue on github, maybe my script does not recognize the configuration

Neither of the articles you posted mentioned modifying grub, so I assume you have not done that.
You don't need i8k.
Focus on it87 in your searches. One of the common changes is to edit /etc/default/grub and append acpi_enforce_resources=lax at the end of the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. This thread confirms that it87 needs that grub change: lm sensors not returning CPU temp (it87)

Did you ran
sudo sensors-detect without any error. If so that means no sensors was detected. Take a look at the /sys/class/hwmon folder, you should find into a subfolder a file named fan[1...x]_label.
