The overheating problem occured after an update from 9.10 to 10.04. I decided to reinstall 10.04 what solved any problems for me.
So in my case the upgrade from 9.10 -> 10.04 caused my laptop to constantly overheat but after a fresh install of 10.04 my netbook now works beautifully. (UNE 10.04 on Dell Mini 10v) -- laptop runs hot, shorter battery life, fan always on - lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563156 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
