Quick update: I should mention that I do get 2 different fan speeds: Constantly on but slow and a higher RPM speed. It doesn't seem to be controlled by the kernel acpi modules but rather a hardware behavior, platform independent.
My CPU right now is at 39C and the fan is in its "quiet" state (still spinning but slower than the "top speed"). Because it is a brand new laptop the fan is quiet whether spinning fast or slow, but you can definitely tell when the speed changes. -- Acer laptop fan always running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653129 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
