Although this is bug was repported for 12.10, I am having this same problem with [Xu|U]buntu 14.04. This started to show up about three months ago, I can't recall exactly what kernel version.
The machine is the same model as the original of this bug repport (LG R590 5700) $ uname -a Linux cabore 3.13.0-30-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 4 21:40:53 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -a LSB Version: core-2.0-amd64:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-amd64:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch:security-4.0-amd64:security-4.0-noarch:security-4.1-amd64:security-4.1-noarch Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty - Please, let me know what informations are necessary to help to fix this.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I'm having this problem for a long time. The cooling solution (single fan for CPU and GPU) on my LG 590 (5700) laptop, suddenly stops to work and don't start again causing overheat and consequential system shutdown to prevent damage. How can I solve this? [I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 but the laptop was originally designed to run Windows.] - The fan works normal on Windows. It doesn't stop cooling even under heavy load such as games or full hd videos. As the processing temperature increases, the rotation rises too. In Ubuntu it happens in reverse; when under heavy load it just stops spinning; - I always use the latest stable driver version of graphics card and BIOS; - lmsensors are installed and working. No luck with fancontrol though. When I try to configure it, I get: "There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed". P.S.: I'm new to this so I'm sorry if I did everything wrong here. Instruct me how to do a correct one. --- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu10 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: dekosnamax 2314 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: dekosnamax 2314 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: dekosnamax 2314 F...m pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=99cb8ea2-7b81-4b29-bc25-dc9d3cbd4175 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-01-27 (20 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release i386 (20121017.2) MachineType: LG Electronics R590-P.BN58P1 MarkForUpload: True NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: linux (not installed) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=pt_BR:pt:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcFB: 0 VESA VGA ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.7.0-7-generic root=UUID=6b5a5484-33e5-48f6-ad32-ae062eb69508 ro quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x720-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.7.0-7.15-generic 3.7.0 PulseList: Error: command ['pacmd', 'list'] failed with exit code 1: Home directory /home/dekosnamax not ours.
