For the record, I am your putative Regular User who bought his laptop preinstalled with Ubuntu 8.04. I have no other OS, and this is my primary machine (Thinkpad R61i, 7650-series model).
All I know is that my machine overheated when running 2.6.24-24.53, and my vendor told me to go back to booting -23. And in order to keep the CPU temps around the mid-40s (which I believe is OK for Core 2 Duo THinkpads according to these long threads), I have to run it on a cooler. I gave it a blast with compressed air - but anything else would mean me taking the laptop to an IBM Service Centre. Currently, it's running OK atop the cooler- but I am sure it's the cooler keeping the temperature down. Something happened with the system updates around my first post on this incident report. Please, could Canonical fix the issue, and get a fix into my Update Manager once it's fully tested. -- 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
