[Bug 579665] Re: Overheating triggers shutdown

2010-10-14 Thread Tony B
I've recently discovered that I can make my overheating laptop problem
disappear.  And this, in turn, solves the premature shut-down problem.

I noticed that, if I close the lid of my laptop, it goes into suspend-
mode. And the fan starts up correctly when I open the lid and continue
working, even if the laptop wasn't warm when I initially shut the lid.

So my new Start-Up routine is:
1. Boot up laptop and wait until the desktop is displayed.
2. Close laptop lid and wait approximately 10 seconds until the system goes 
into "suspend" mode (on my Acer, the light showing that the laptop is switched 
on changes from steady green to flashing red).
3. Open laptop lid, type password to come out of "suspend". And, hey presto, 
everything works ok with no overheating issues.

This certainly works for me, I hope this simple procedure is of some
assistance to others.

Cheers,
Tony B

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation.

Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin
work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from
here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

[Bug 579665] Re: Overheating triggers shutdown

2010-07-09 Thread Leo Arias
That's ok. Thanks a lot tonesbox. If you have doubts, don't be afraid to
ask.

Now please type this on your terminal:
( cd /proc/acpi/thermal_zone && \
while :; do \
  line="`date`:`grep temperature */* | awk '{ printf(\" %03d\", $2) }'`"; \
  echo "$line"; \
  sleep 10; \
done ) | tee LOG

This will create a file called LOG with the temperatures of your machine
over time. And please attach that LOG file.

For your reference, you can take a look at

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  Dear Ubuntu people,
  
  I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, but I had the same problem with 9.10.  Both of these 
systems were installed on a partition.
  Previously, I used Ubuntu 9.04 without problem, but this was NOT installed on 
a partition. 
  My laptop came with Windows Vista pre-installed: I do NOT experience this 
problem when running Vista.
  
  (1)  After a few minutes from a "cold" start, my laptop overheats and 
automatically shuts down.  The "Core Temperature Sensor" indicates that it 
shuts down at 100 deg C.  Other temperature sensors do not report any 
abnormalities.
  (2)  If I re-boot IMMEDIATELY, the cooling fan starts and the Core temp 
quickly drops to approx 45 deg C, and I can run my laptop all day without any 
problems.
  (3)  If I fail to re-boot immediately, or if I restart my computer before the 
sensor indicates at least 95 deg C, the computer will again suddenly shut down 
within only a few minutes due to overheating.
  
  My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5315, but I've seen lots of posts on various
  forums.  Toshiba computers seem also prone to this problem when running
  Ubuntu - and I have noted that Acer computers use Toshiba fans.
  
  Everything I've read follows the same trend: 
  (a) it seems that, when everything is cold or only warm, Ubuntu fails to 
instruct the fan to run, so it doesn't.
  (b) if the computer is already hot when it's switched on, the fan works 
perfectly. Presumably the computer has a separate thermostat to control this, 
since we know that Ubuntu isn't switching it on.
  
  I'm sure this has been reported millions of times before.  It is a major
  problem, and certainly one which prevents people recommending Ubuntu to
  others.
  
  Thanks & regards, 
  Tony

[Bug 579665] Re: Overheating triggers shutdown

2010-07-07 Thread Leo Arias
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it without more information.

Please run the following command which will attach necessary
information:

apport-collect 579665

Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib
package from the universe repository with 'sudo apt-get install python-
launchpadlib'. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect
permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability
to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your
bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel
related bug reports is available at

[Bug 579665] Re: Overheating triggers shutdown

2010-07-07 Thread Leo Arias
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which
is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper
developers.  You can learn more about finding the right package at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage.  I have classified this
bug as a bug in linux.

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the
appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using
'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected.  You can learn more
about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

2010-05-13 Thread Tony B
Thanks very much, madbiologist.  I've been told about a BIOS update before,
but I've also been warned that it could totally stuff up my computer.  In
this part of the world, the electricity supply is very iffy at the best of
times, which I understand would make me more vulnerable to a problem during
a BIOS upgrade.

I don't wish to gamble on this basis -- I can think of better things to
spend my old age pension on (like food).

But thanks again for the thought.
