Okay, just typed in "dmesg". The part relating to applesmc (what's that anyway?) is:
---- [ 16.203901] applesmc: Apple MacBook Pro 3 detected: [ 16.203904] applesmc: - Model with accelerometer [ 16.203905] applesmc: - Model with light sensors and backlight [ 16.203907] applesmc: - Model with 13 temperature sensors [ 16.260698] applesmc: device successfully initialized (0xe0, 0x00). [ 16.260701] applesmc: device successfully initialized. [ 16.261505] applesmc: 2 fans found. [ 16.263814] input: applesmc as /devices/platform/applesmc.768/input/input14 ---- Guys, this thread is now nearly three months old, and you call Ubuntu 8.10 "stable", and still you don't get along caring that users' notebooks won't burn down. Sorry, but this is not accpetable. As a first step wouldn't it be a good idea if you programmed a little GUI tool that automatically turns on the fan on full speed so that users won't have to fear that Ubuntu ruins their machines? Just an idea. As long as things are as they are, IMHO during the installation process Ubuntu should print a huge warning: "DO NOT USE ON APPLE MACBOOK PROS". Btw. runtime on battery is about 1/3 compared to what it is on Mac OSX. -- WARNING: Intrepid might burn down MacBook Pro https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
