[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1080350] Re: 1002:9552 [Compaq Presario CQ61-320EG Notebook PC] CPU Overheating with ATI driver Radeon HD Mobility graphics

2016-10-27 Thread Tony Martin
An old thread, I know but I've experienced similar problems.

After upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04.3 to 16.04.1 with Xmonad window manager
certain undesirable symptoms began to arise.  Of course, fglrx was be
removed and the xserver-xorg-driver-ati(?) graphics driver was installed
instead. In 14.04 I was running the proprietary driver for the Intel
part of the hybrid card. After upgrading some icons appear very large
while others are normal. The laptop also runs about fifteen degC hotter.
This is the most troubling aspect as it is detrimental to the health of
the machine.

I reverted to Ubuntu 14.04.3 with linux-image-xxx-lts-wily as the latest
combination of Ubuntu and linux kernel compatible with fglrx.  All very
well until dirtyCOW arose, as this kernel is no longer supported.

Question:  Is this problem related to the others mentioned in this
thread?  Has there been a resolution since July 2016?

The following information may help:

Am I right in understanding that though the radeon kernel module is loaded it 
is not being used? If so, what must I do to use it?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1080350] Re: 1002:9552 [Compaq Presario CQ61-320EG Notebook PC] CPU Overheating with ATI driver Radeon HD Mobility graphics

2014-01-09 Thread David Ayers
I was able to peak the temperature 96° on precise, but couldn't get it
to lockup anymore.  So I have to correct my original statement that the
issue persists.  It was based on the fact that the temperature rose
rather quickly above 90° after login while duplicity was running and
ubuntuone was collecting it's files.  But even with a virtual machine
doing some processing and watching multiple vidoes in a browser it seems
that the temperature remains under 96° on precise and the CPU does not
lockup anymore.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1080350] Re: 1002:9552 [Compaq Presario CQ61-320EG Notebook PC] CPU Overheating with ATI driver Radeon HD Mobility graphics

2014-01-09 Thread David Ayers
OK so after letting ubuntuone sync finish overnight, login out and back
in this morning, successfully starting deja-dup manually while ubuntuone
was collecting its files, watching the making of Sintel in WebM in the
browser, while installing precise via virt-manager, psensor indicated
that the temperature never went above 91° and after ubuntuone finished
collecting it's files, dropped to 80° while the rest was still happily
using CPU.  It was a but sluggish at times, indicating throttling.  But
it seems that with the default settings (no profile adjustments needed),
the code in trusty does not overheat (esp. no lockups) can be
reproduced.

I will try to work without th external cooling in precise now, to see if
this still is an issue there, since there have been plenty of updates
since.  But I would say that the overheating issue is fixed for trusty.

Thanks!

David Ayers, thank you for your comment.
>"Thanks, Christopher, but I believe most packages supported by UbuntuAdvantate

>because I'm hoping to have less issues with default settings and applications."

Fair enough. We pretty much covered all the bases here on power
management troubleshooting, with one seemingly to help greatly (CPU
Governor) and another subject to further information to be provided
(powertop tunables).

I'll mark this Triaged for now, and we can keep an eye on further
developments at both the hardware/power management, and DE efficiency
levels.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks, Christopher, but I believe most packages supported by UbuntuAdvantate 
subscriptions are only available under Unity.
I'd rather stick to them, mostly because I'm hoping to have less issues with 
default settings and applications.

2014-01-09 Thread David Ayers
Thanks for all the extra pointers... will try them once I get a base line for 
trusty.  Unfortunately the standard triggers ubuntu-one & Deja-Dup may not be 
trivial to test.  See #LP 1267590
But I'll try some other cpu intensive things... possiibly backup-manager with 
gpg.

Currently the temperatur is between 60°-65° while idle which is already
a big improvement!

2014-01-09 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
David Ayers, thank you for providing the requested information. Regarding your 
comments:
>"Thanks, put proprietary drivers are not a option for me. I'd rather stick 
>with the external cooling."

Fair enough.

>"Despite the error messages, the ubuntu-one files seem to by syncing
now. And the psensor preference changes took effect after I killed the
process and restarted it. So'll still continue test with this image. Yet
it will take a few hours before enough files are synchronized to cause
the ubuntuone-sync daemon to saturate the CPU after logging in."

As a WORKAROUND, would governoring the CPU, in addition to the low 
power_profile provide further heat reduction via:
sudo apt-get -y install gnome-applets && sudo cpufreq-selector --cpu=0 
--governor=powersave && sudo cpufreq-selector --cpu=1 --governor=powersave

>"You added a 'needs-full-computer-model' tag, yet you have added the
computer model int eh summary title. Was this some automation mechanism,
or do you need some more information? I will still attempt to execute
the apport-collect command."

Nope, just manual mis-tag on my part.

As well, would powertop tunables provide further reduced power
consumption noted in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/ReducedPower ?

Bug description:
  Ever since upgrading from Maverick (with GNOME Classic) to Precise
  (using Unity 2D since using the default Unity makes the situation
  worse) my note book regularly overheats with normal usage:

  I've been regularly using:
  echo low | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile

  I've am also using psensor to warn me if the temperature rises above
  92°.  When 'idle' the temperature is at about 80°.  If the CPU is used
  (merely starting eclipse and letting all the the startup validation
  processes finish) it quickly rises to 88°.  If the usages is sustained
  (rebuilding a java project) the temperature oscillates between 95° and
  98°.  If I do anything else that adds to the load (ie. if the
  temperature is >98° for short period of time), the system freezes, but
  the everything remains on, fans and CPU temperature stays up.  I need
  to turn off the notebook by keeping the power button pressed.

  Note that this system overheats /with/ the low power profile.

  Here are some general stats about this system, please let me know, if
  I can provide further information:

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1080350] Re: 1002:9552 [Compaq Presario CQ61-320EG Notebook PC] CPU Overheating with ATI driver Radeon HD Mobility graphics

2014-01-09 Thread David Ayers
Thanks, put proprietary drivers are not a option for me.  I'd rather
stick with the external cooling.

Despite the error messages, the ubuntu-one files seem to by syncing now.
And the psensor preference changes took effect after I killed the
process and restarted it.  So'll still continue test with this image.
Yet it will take a few hours before enough files are synchronized to
cause the ubuntuone-sync daemon to saturate the CPU after logging in.

You added a 'needs-full-computer-model' tag, yet you have added the
computer model int eh summary title.  Was this some automation
mechanism, or do you need some more information?  I will still attempt
to execute the apport-collect command.
