fix is not working on 14.10: I just tested the last version `i8kutils-1.42-45` unfortunately I still face same lag issue
However I think there are some possibility to improvement since the issue looks to be related only to the fan functionality. Some info that maybe useful: on my system dell inspiron 14z the lag is caused only by the fan control/read so the following command trigger the issue: - `watch i8kctl fan - 2` - `watch sensors` I was able to fix the lag with sensor disabling the read of the fan speed add this file `/etc/sensors.d/dell.conf` with the following content: chip "i8k-virtual-0" ignore fan2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1349176 Title: i8kmon won't work on Dell Inspiron 7720 (causes lag) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/i8kutils/+bug/1349176/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
