Hello peterwil

Then you are telling that with kernel 2.6.31.22 (without recompile) this issue 
is not present, instead in the Lucid's kernel (2.6.32.21 to .24) the problem is 
present (regression release)?
thanks for the reply

Bonjorno Fabio,

Yes I can accurately attest that my laptop ( L305D -S5881 AMD 64 bit) is 
working very well without overheating and that suspend/resume works very 
well. This never happened before for over 1.5 years.
Even my compiled kernel 2.6.30 couldn't get the suspend/resume or Fn 
keys to work right.

The most crucial step was upgrade to 9.10 which runs
   --  2.6.31-22-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 02:02:56 UTC 2010 
x86_64 GNU/Linux.

Please try downgrading to the 9.10 with this kernel and hopefully you 
will have success.
Prior to this I felt Ubuntu was unusable! since the overheating was a 
bit too much. If you touched the laptop
your hand would feel as though you have touched a hot plate !.

Thanks for letting me know that Lucid has this problem.. which means I 
will not upgrade until someone confirms that
it is ok.!

Cheers and good luck
Peter

Hello there Wouter after quite some time...
Did you get your Toshiba L305 working right with Ubuntu.
Just this morning I posted a response to the bug report..

 The reason acpitool doesn't work is that it requires the toshiba_acpi kernel 
 module, which does not work for this model, apparently.

 Fan control seems to be hit and miss. Sometimes the fan will not spin
 faster when it really should be, sometimes it starts spinning fast and
 does not slow down again until I suspend and resume the machine. I have
 no idea how to manually tell the fan to do something.

Wow! I have GREAT NEWS regarding my Toshiba Laptop L305-S5881.
I struggled with this issue since I bought the laptop in '08 October.
Reported it a number of issues. Tried 
i) Hardy - Ubuntu 8  (temps  75C ) , then
ii) Jaunty - Ubuntu 9.0.4( temps 65 but definitely still hot )
iii) compiled the 2.6.30 kernel and installed the image all to no avail 
then gave up the idea of running Ubuntu solely on this laptop, being aware
that the laptop could fry over.
Last week dual booted Vista crashed - had to recover my email from thunderbird 
and
then decided to look into Ubuntu again based on Jeremy's email a couple of 
months ago.
After looking through the acpi module source code -noticed a patch was 
introduced in sleep.c
referencing Toshiba Satellite L300 to set the EIN bit , 
changed this string to Toshiba Satellite L305 and recompiled
Kernel.. Still no difference.

Then did an upgrade to 9.10 . After the upgrade and a reboot VOILA !  
i) My Fn keys are working. Suspend actuallly WORKS! .. It never did. always had 
to power down the switch
to make it recover from either Suspend to RAM or Hibernate. -dmesg always 
showed errors in ACPI .
ii) And then the magic .. acpi -t shows 45 C... !!! This laptop has never 
showed this reading after 10 mins.
of usage before this.

So fellow Ubuntu aficianados! using Toshiba Laptops L305D or similar
models.

Please try out  the generic kernel 2.6.31-22 ( 9.10 upgrade ). The overheating 
and the Suspend issues
are definitely fixed for this model in this release.

My salutations to the developer/s  who fixed this most annoying bug/bugs which 
almost rendered the 
Laptop unusable on Ubuntu.. It would have perhaps taken my weeks of ploughing 
through the 
ACPI modules ( sleep.c, fan.c etc ) to try and fix this monster.! Not to 
mention the 1 hour kernel compile
on each change!.. Glad I can get back to the application space!.

Cheers and best regards
Peter William

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for your note. Sorry about checking this out after so long.
I spent many days trying to understand this problem.
A few months ago I even recompiled my kernel and the problem is still there.

Temps are running distinctly higher than Vista. My Toshiba laptop doesn't 
shutdown but definitely
runs hotter than normal.  

The last compile compile ( from maybe 6 months ago) which I am currently still 
running is 2.6.30 with the acpi=Linux added  in the
/boot/grub/menu.lst.

I haven't tried out Ubuntu 10 version.

Have you guys changed anything  in the acpi module for the latest
kernel.. ?

Thanks and best regards
Peter

Same issue, slightly different machine, and still occurring in Lucid
Lynx (x86-64). My Satellite is an L305D-S5897. There are no issues with
the fan in Windows Vista.

2010-03-13 Thread Jeremy Foshee
Hi peterwil,

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? Can you try
with the latest development release of Ubuntu?  ISO CD images are
available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a
Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal).  It will automatically
gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 382806

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would
be great.  It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the
issue.  Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .  Once
you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-
testing' tag.  This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon
next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and
deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.  Please let us know your
results.

Thanks in advance.

[This is an automated message.  Apologies if it has reached you
inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

Upgraded to Jaunty and temps  start a bit lower now..
But still spikes to 75C.. from time to time..
Is this normal ?

And fan default status is still OFF.
Please make this work for Toshiba users..

Are Toshiba extensions available for Jaunty users?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes I installed acpitool under jaunty.. It has an option to force the 
fan ON but it complained that the toshiba_acpi kernel extensions were
not installed  We have to figure out a way to modify this ..
Also in my dmesg output I see Thermal Zone critical setting at 105C but 
I don't see passive temperature settings at all..
