I'm having this problem on my Thinkpad (clearly), but the instructions given to solve it don't work.
echo "level disengaged" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan gives me a response of bash: /proc/acpi/ibm/fan: Permission denied And sudo 'echo "level disengaged" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan' gives the response sudo: echo "level disengaged" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan: command not found I cannot keep having my computer shut off at random intervals. Can someone help? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751689 Title: ThinkPads overheat due to slow fans when on 'auto' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/751689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
