I forgot to add that I found similar behaviour at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/374121
And I have acpi-support 0.121 on my laptop. ... --- On Fri, 7/3/09, Philip Muskovac <yo...@gmx.net> wrote: From: Philip Muskovac <yo...@gmx.net> Subject: [Bug 394826] Re: HDD unusual high temperature and activity in Ubuntu Jaunty To: emailstude...@yahoo.com Date: Friday, July 3, 2009, 3:39 PM Thanks. As for Laptop mode: it's set int /etc/default/acpi-support # Switch to laptop-mode on battery power - off by default as it causes odd # hangs on some machines. (Note: This is reported to cause breakage in # Debian - see deb bug #425800. Leaving enabled for Ubuntu for now # since presumably it's still valid here.) ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=false This should be always false unless you change it by hand. Also if you want to try changing the power managemant of you hd by hand try hdparm (-B and -S would be what you want I think) -- HDD unusual high temperature and activity in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394826 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in Ubuntu: New Bug description: My hard disk temperature is pretty high (above 45 Celsius degrees) even if I just read an article without any other activity. Also, I can hear the noise of the hard disk permanently, at every 3 or 4 seconds it is moving. I have a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile V6545 laptop with Ubuntu 9.04. So: iotop -o (after previously installed iotop) gives me, for a fraction of a second, commands like: gnome power management, kjournald, pidgin and one or two more. But each dissapeared very quickly. The Command column is empty now, for a long time has been empty. The temperature (sudo hddtemp /dev/sda) is 48 Celsius degrees now. I remarked (repeating it) that the temperature starts decreasing after I unplugg the AC adapter so that the laptop is running on battery only. But it was 58 Celsius degree, with Pidgin running only. The annoying click of the hard disk can be heard at each 3 or 4 seconds. The hard disk is WD3200BEVT. Its specification may be found at http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2670&p_created=#jumper. -- HDD unusual high temperature and activity in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394826 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
