djchandler, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc6 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Summary changed: - [RS780MC] overheats computer + 1002:9613 [Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5959] overheats computer ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 748080 ATI card fan is always on with opensource radeon driver ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Tags added: latest-bios-1.80 needs-upstream-testing regression- potential -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557829 Title: 1002:9613 [Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5959] overheats computer Status in X.org XServer - ATI gfx chipset driver: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati Lucid Lynx 10.04 AMD64 Beta 1 xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.12.192-2ubuntu2 xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.192-2ubuntu2 AMD AthlonTM X2 Dual-Core QL-65 @ 2.1GHz (running stock speed, Cool 'n' Quiet working, cpu frequency regulation in kerenel is working, idles @ 1.05GHz but temperature still goes up) AMD M780V Chipset ATI Radeon 3100 IGP (RV610) 720P video native support (I suppose that means hardware implemented) Laptop (Toshiba L305D-S5959) overheats when running open source driver. Idles at around 70°C at room temperature of ~22°C, have BIOS set to shutdown at 95°C to avoid hardware damage. Computer will shut itself off due to temperature under moderate load such as viewing flash video in Firefox on hulu.com. This has been repeated at least 3 times. Running the proprietary fglrx driver 2:8.721-0ubuntu7 (with no other software changes), the computer idles @ 45°C (20°C cooler) at room temperature of ~22°C. Watching video on hulu.com does not cause overheating issues. This is something that could damage computers. If it's under warranty but Ubuntu is found on the hard drive the manufacturer will probably void the warranty. I certainly don't want Ubuntu to get that kind of reputation.
