Setting the fan speed manually has helped here as well. I can set it to "auto" or a number in /proc/acpi/ibm/fan - the automatic setting doesn't seem to turn the fan on at all and the processor heats to unstable temperatures. The stability and overheating problems are almost completely gone when I manually set the fan to full speed.
My temporary solution was to put the following code in /etc/rc.local : #!/bin/sh echo "level 7" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan -- ThinkPad overheats https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
