<noise> It seems that most people here (in this bug report) are Thinkpad users, but undoubtedly there are people with overheating problems [like me] using other brands. Also, it seems that Thinkpad users like to think Lenovo is the only brand out there.
After Jaunty, I tried running 2.6.31 (Arch Linux) and now I'm on Karmic (2.6.31-4-generic #23-Ubuntu). The behavior is exactly the same and the only workaround I've found so far (without mentioning acpi=off and thermal.off=1 as kernel boot params) is just to suspend to ram and then restore. After restoring from suspend-to-ram state, the fan works as it should (temperature keeps below 53 C, under load). It would be nice if someone could try this procedure on a Thinkpad. </noise> -- 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
