Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.20-11-generic
I own an eMachines M6811 laptop that I recently updated to kubuntu/feisty/multiverse. Before the update to feisty its CPU fan was hardly spinning at all, but since the update the CPU fan won't stop spinning. It's always on at least the lowest speed setting and never turns off. output from lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
