I've tested this on a Lenovo x220 with the air vents covered up to force overheating. After running this for over 15 minutes I don't see any of the non-critical errors appearing, so this looks fixed to me. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this

@SunBear, thanks for verifying this. I am not sure how the installation of minor update to thermald is related to the machine not booting and requiring fixing. I've tested the same update on a couple of machines and did not get any issues, so perhaps your drive issues and the thermald update are

_TRT and _ART are optional. If not the algorithm falls to default to do CPU passive control. The thermald controls are complimentary to was BIOS is doing. If for any reason of the BIOS controls or fan is not able to bring temperature down thermald will act, it will work as this will reduce the cpu

Hi Colin, to update you, I found out the ACPI failures I mentioned in my earlier post concerns the USB3 controller. Thus I think it is unrelated to my thermald issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launch
