Yeah, i have been using my own patch for my Dell Laptop. Basically i
have just been speeding up the fan to max. Its looped to fight to
keep the speed at max, it kind of breaths again. Its a dirty hack
for sure, but not as dirty as Canonical for releasing such as shitty
bug.
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import time
#apt-get install i8kutils
#sudo modprobe i8k force=1
while(True):
os.system("i8kfan speed 10000 > /dev/null")
time.sleep(.5)
