For the link challenged - how to work around your fan issue on a Lenovo running a late version kernel
Linux Kernel 2.6.22 and Above (ibm-acpi has been replaced by thinkpad- acpi) To enable fan control, the module parameter fan_control=1 must be given to thinkpad-acpi. (find the thinkpad-acpi configuration file under /etc/modprobe.d) Having done so, reboot and you can use the following commands to control fan speed: NOTE! Instead of rebooting reloading module is enough (rmmod thinkpad_acpi && modprobe thinkpad_acpi as root). # echo level 0 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (fan off) # echo level 2 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (low speed) # echo level 4 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (medium speed) # echo level 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (maximum speed) # echo level auto > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (automatic - default) # echo level disengaged > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (disengaged) -- Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
