I did have the same problem on my Dell M1330 running Jaunty (with nvidia 180.44), which was upgraded all the way from Gutsy. The fan was very noisy, starting and stopping very often. GPU temperature was high nevertheless.
There was no problem while still running Intrepid (BIOS A12). I recently re-installed from scratch with Jaunty due to a harddisk crash. Since then, the problem is gone: Fan's silent, GPU temprature is low. -- nvidia graphics driver 177.80 on geforce 8400 makes fan spin all the time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
