I've got some new observations on this that might help narrow down the problem.
(1) thermald I've got thermald installed, and the default configuration seems to work *after* the standby/wakeup cycle. Before the machine goes into standby, the file cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp constantly reads 40000 (40 °C), even when the processor is already way beyond 70°C (as monitored by lm-sensors' coretemp) so thermald doesn't trigger the CPU slowdown. After the standby/wakeup cycle, this temperature reading follows the coretemp, and thermald acts correctly. It seems that whatever the secret windows sauce does, also happens after a wakeup from standby. So maybe there's something I can do to automate this behaviour during startup of the machine, not requiring human intervention to enter "stable operation zone". (2) apport-collect When I run apport-collect and ignore its warning that submitting to the current bug is not recommended, the window it gives me lists as the first line "Package: linux (not installed)". I think it will not have collected all the info, but I'll send whatever it picks up and set the bug status to confirmed; maybe someone can help me operate it correctly or tell me to spawn a new bug with the apport-bug. ** Tags added: apport-collected trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728733 Title: fan only works when my acer 5315 is booted then stops Status in acpi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: acpi fan only works when my acer 5315 is booted then stops.i have a acer aspire 5315 laptop.
