i8kutils "works" with the upstream kernel. i8kfan runs the fan for about 4 seconds, then immediately drops it back down to 0. However, this is a good improvement over the intermittent segfaulting previously. ** Tags removed: kernel-unable-to-test-upstream ** Tags added: kernel-fixed-upstream --

1. I never used the i8k kernel module myself and only want to give it a try in 14.04 because my fan always seems to run at max speed. It is supposed to have worked according to http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq /controlling-dell-fan-speeds-temperature-on-ubuntu-debian-linux/ 2. I am not able to test th
