Only one fan working on MSI laptop with Kubuntu, fancontrol/pwmconfig not helping
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568728/only-one-fan-working-on-msi-laptop-with-kubuntu-fancontrol-pwmconfig-not-helpinI have a fresh install of Kubuntu 26.04 on my MSI Katana 15 HX B14WFK laptop, installed with dual booting with Windows 11. While on Windows my fans work fine, on Linux my laptop overheats frequently, the following output of sudo sensors reveals why:

It appears only fan1 is working for some reason. I tried installing fancontrol but it requires pmwconfig to work correctly, which gives me the following output:
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
I tried troubleshooting this problem and online I found that adding the line acpi_enforce_resources=lax to /etc/default/grub might solve the problem but it did not help.
I also attach the output of sensors-detect:
leona@leonardo-katana15hxb14wfk:~$ sudo sensors-detect

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): YES

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): YES
/dev/port: Operation not permitted
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): yes
/dev/port: Operation not permitted
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):
Found unknown SMBus adapter 8086:7a23 at 0000:00:1f.4.
Sorry, no supported PCI bus adapters found.
Next adapter: Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Adapter doesn't support all probing functions.
Some addresses won't be probed.
Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0000:00:1f.4 (i2c-1)

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `coretemp':
* Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)
To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
coretemp
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!
Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)yes
Successful!
Monitoring programs won't work until the needed modules are
loaded. You may want to run '/etc/init.d/kmod start'
to load them.
Unloading cpuid... OK
This changes nothing. Online I have seen that solutions are motherboard-specific, but no online solution I could find for MSI laptops helped.
Is anybody able to help? Thank you in advance!
