I upgraded to karmic (kernel 2.6.31-2-generic) and did the `stress --cpu 16 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 128M` test
Before the test: sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +86.0°C (crit = +98.0°C) temp2: +89.0°C (crit = +120.0°C) k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +87.0°C Core1 Temp: +87.0°C After 15 min: sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +92.0°C (crit = +98.0°C) temp2: +85.0°C (crit = +120.0°C) k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +81.0°C Core1 Temp: +82.0°C Right after killing the stress test: sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +78.0°C (crit = +98.0°C) temp2: +81.0°C (crit = +120.0°C) k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +76.0°C Core1 Temp: +81.0°C I am not experiencing shutdowns caused by overheating. In Jaunty, (Kernel 2.6.28-11-generic) the stress test didn't even last 2 min before shutting itself down. -- Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 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
