Mario Veygel, as per http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4132&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5314070#N1301 an update is available for your BIOS (F.26). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-f.26 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - [HP g6-2245sg] high core temperature cmakes fan run frequently, brings down time on battery + [HP Pavilion g6-2245sg Notebook PC] High core temperature makes fan run frequently, brings down time on battery ** Tags added: kernel-therm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074362 Title: [HP Pavilion g6-2245sg Notebook PC] High core temperature makes fan run frequently, brings down time on battery Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is a newly installed Kubuntu 12.10 on a new HP g6-2245sg notebook, dual boot with Windows 8 which was pre-installed. Under Ubuntu the cpu fan kicks in frequently even if the cpu is idle (according to various system monitors. The HW temperature applet shows the temperature going up to 56°C, then the fan kicks in and brings it down to ca. 48°C. The fan stops until the temp is up again to 56°C, where it kicks in again etc. When booting Win8, the idle temperature is stable at 40 °C, and the fan never runs unless the PC is busy long enough that the core temp goes into the 50°C range, which only happens when playing videos etc. This is not only annoying because of the fan noise, but also reduces the battery runtime significantly compared to Win8.
