I don't know with which temperature my laptop went down, but I don't think 80°C is normal. It is really hot. And I can prove it damages the hardware - my permanent (factory) battery capacity went down! I think not only capacity suffers :(
Now as I'm writing you, the computer runs for about an hour and is in 800 MHz powersave state. The CPU temp is (shows) about 61°C... Michael: your patch doesn't apply my computer and I'm not as skilled programmer, so I'm switching to Fedora this weekend. I've got install medium already. -- 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
