Unfortunately that's simply not true. I'm also running KDE 4.3, and with little effort I can reproduce the problem: $ sha1sum /dev/urandom let it running for at least 2 minutes before hitting CTRL+C. IMHO this has nothing to do with the userland programs (that includes desktop environments) but the kernel. The problem persists even running in single user mode. Recently I tried with a 2.6.27 kernel [http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.27.29/] and the behavior was exactly the same. As I mentioned earlier in other threads, the only workaround that works for me es to suspend to ram and then restore. After that, the problem vanishes and the fan just works. I also tried adjusting the trip points in different ways. Trying to adjust in a running kernel was not possible. For me, the only effective way to adjust trip points was as kernel parameters (eg. thermal.psv=60 thermal.act=45 in the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst). But adjusting trip point didn't do any effect. -- 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
