[Bug 633612] [NEW] Overheats shutting off toshiba

[narnie]

Public bug reported:

Fan used to spin up in prior version of Ubuntu, but only stays one speed
and have had overheating problems since Intrepid.

Have to have powersave governor in use to prevent overheats and sudden
kills.

powersaved gone, can't throttle. Not sure what is replacing it that can
be done in userspace(which I prefer)

Found cpufrequency-selector which sets governor, but not throttle.

Wrote:

#! /bin/bash
#

#if ! type promptYesNo > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then .
/home/woodnt/scripts/misc.sh ; fi

SPEED=$1

for i in 0 1; do
        cpufreq-selector -c $i -g $SPEED
done

which allows in userspace. Miss powersaved, though where I wrote:

#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO make error checking for arguments

. /home/woodnt/scripts/misc.sh

LEVELS=$((`powersave get-brightness-levels -L|awk '{ print $4 }'|sed 's/\.//'` 
- 1))
LEVEL=-1

USAGE="
_____________________________________________

throttle [-d DIGIT|u|d]

-d      DIGIT is a number between zero and 
        $LEVELS or \"u\" for level up or 
        \"d\" for level down
_____________________________________________

checkLevel () {
LEVEL="$1"
while : ; do
        # Check to see if it is a number and if so between 0 and upper level 
and if so return
        if [ -n "$(echo "$LEVEL" | sed -n '/[0-9][0-9]*/p')" ] ; then
                if (( $LEVEL >= 0 && $LEVEL <= $LEVELS )) ; then
                        #LEVEL="$1"
                        return
                fi

                #LEVEL="$1"
                return
        fi

        clear

case "$1" in

                        exit ;;
        ondemand)       echoWhere "$(powersave --dynamic-speed -A)"
                        exit ;;
esac

while getopts d:h OPT ; do
        case $OPT in
                d)      checkLevel "$OPTARG"
                        ARG="set-brightness -k  $LEVEL" ;;
                \?|h)   echoWhere "$USAGE" ; exit ;;
        esac
done
if [ -n "$ARG" ] ; then
        powersave $ARG
else
        echoWhere "$USAGE"
fi
exit

Will include hardinfo report and once bug number generated, apport-
collect
