I just bought a new laptop last week, Toshiba U500 with a P8600 2.1Ghz. It came with Vista, and it had a temperature/fan monitor there. Even while running important applications, the fan stays at 50-70% and the CPU doesn't get hot. However, after I installed Ubuntu 9.04, the fan doesn't work. It stays off for like 3 minutes, then turns on for 3 seconds at max speed. And keeps repeating this pattern. That happened even during its Live CD version, and installation. Once the computer reboots, the fan goes to max. The moment I run Ubuntu, it stops. This is One other thing to note is that, I tried BACKTRACK, a Slaxware based linux distribution. The problem persists, the fan only works 3 seconds each 3 minutes there too.
