Hi Leann, Actually, now that I have discovered what is going on, I don't think my problem is a linux/ubuntu bug. It is caused by a broken acpi DSDT on my computer. (I even paid to upgrade my bios before finding that article, and it made no difference). It seems that a broken DSDT is not at all uncommon.
A quick search of "cpu temp" in ubuntu bugs finds a few items which may well be realted (85984, 111576, 27233, 152988) and also for "cpu fan" (72775,64691,70599,140468,160291). (#140468 was exactly the problem I was having in edgy.) For the original problem reported for this bug, it is probably worth looking at a the ACPI settings/logs including what temp it thinks the CPU is and what the trip points, polling frequencies and initial fan settings are. Every single one of those items (reported temps, trip points, polling freq, initial fan state) was broken for the DSDT on my computer. Last night after fixing my DSDT and running a CPU intensive task I got the CPU temp up to 50C (active cooling) and I heard the fan speed up for a little while. After that it wouldn't get any hotter, which I suppose is exactly what it is supposed to do. So unless you think otherwise, I don't think there is any new bug to report. Cheers, Randall. -- CPU fans won't start for Thinkpad 770E and 390E https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/70739 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
