You obviously do not understand how this process works. The applesmc in the Linux kernel module that allows fan-control, and temperature sensors to work in Intel-based Macs. A few of the comments above are by a user that is basically maintaining this module right now. That means that if there is a problem with it's function, he is very likely the one that will fix it and submit the patch to make the changes part of the Linux kernel. Instead of fighting the people trying to help you, you should try to give the information you can, and actually read / try the information suggested in what they link to so that the appropriate fixes can be made.
Additionally, in order to be part of the Ubuntu default install, it has to be in the stable Linux kernel already when the distro's release is made. That takes time, and in the meantime, we have to work around issues. If you can help get this fix completed, it may very well be that the next release of Ubuntu will "work out of the box", but unless the problem is identified, and a fix created, that cannot happen. rydberg stated stated that "most people do not have this problem anymore" because... they don't! He (and I) know this from interacting with users in the ubuntu forums that have the same hardware as you and have this under control. If you still have a problem, the appropriate information is needed to create a fix. Also, you are being asked to restate your problem because there is so much information here, and suggestions have been made that work well for other people, and yet you are saying that you still have a problem. Because of this, it is quite likely that your problem is not fully understood and restating it might help someone figure out exactly what the problem is, and what would be needed to make the problem go away (or at least get better for now). As for your request that a GUI be made to control the fans, it could very well happen, but Linux relies on someone deciding to start the project and create the software (and really the underlying driver, applesmc, needs to work appropriately first before that can be done). Then it can be made part of a distro. If you would like to see this GUI come to fruitition, maybe you should take the first steps. Being rude and demanding will likely get people to ignore you instead of help you. I'd suggest you try to change your attitude if you would like someone to continue working on this bug. -- 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
