Careful!! 100ºC is a lot. A processor should work about 25ºC and decreases it's life and performance over 50ºC or 70ºC. You should know if your system is hot or it could be a crashed/buggy thermal sensor. If your fan is noising "crazy", I'll bet that the sensor is broken. All fans, at top speed,

Have you all simply given up on Ubuntu? How are you coping with the effects of this bug? It has forced me to try just about every single distro out there, and sadly, it affects most major distro's. The only ones I've found it doesn't affect are Mandriva 2007 and Gentoo 2006.1 Both of which I fee

Ugh, I was hoping this would be fixed in Edgy. Surely this won't go a whole year before being fixed. (If it doesn't make it into Edgy, it will have to wait until April before it gets in!) :( On 10/11/06, malluguy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have the same problem. My Toshiba (Centrino 1.7 G

Is it too much to hope this fix will be in Edgy? And/Or released backwards for Dapper once it's found? This, to me, is a MAJOR bug, as it keeps me from viewing any video on the net on my laptop. On 9/6/06, Nikolaus Filus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > @GreatBunzinni: Yes, it's possible. But tha
