thermald is the defacto solution to this in Trusty+, I've added a Wikipage to describe how to install and configure this daemon: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagement/ThermalIssues I think this addresses the bug, so I'm going to close it. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status:

Hi Colin - thanks, yes running thermald has improved the situation immensely! I do still very occasionally see overheats, although they are extremely rare now and I suspect may be more related to my fans needing a clean :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

One can use a thermald helper script to set the CPU Max temperature on your machine. Attached is the script, one has to specify the max temp in milli degrees C, so for 80 degress C, enter 8, example: sudo ./thermald_set_pref.sh [sudo] password for king: thermald preference 0 :

Hmm, I'm not sure why you need to unload the thinkpad acpi driver. Can you force fan control mode with options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 in a /etc/modprobe.d/ .conf file and this will configure the driver at boot time. I also suggest enabling the intel-pstate driver. Ubuntu currently has

Hi Colin - thanks, I'm now running thermald but cannot really stress my system due to o/s bug 1268906 (kvm always makes it overheat unless fans are disengaged. That is currently not possible on my T410 btw due to bug 1268880 - will that impact thermald's abilities? -- You received this bug

@James, I've now packaged up thermald for Trusty, which will do auto throttling if the CPU is too hot. Perhaps you can give that a spin. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/955287 Title:

Hi Colin, Since running tp-thermstat, I just cannot make my machine overheat no matter what workloads I give it (with fans set to auto). Will keep trying. I have used the disengaged mode and certainly couldn't force a shutdown with that either, although it did sound like I was working in a

@James, if you can email me the logs you get with tp-thermstat I can still analyze them and spot any dubious looking fan control characteristics. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/955287

However, the kernel seems to emit an ACPI event when it detects the CPU(s) are merely hot. I suggest we consider adding an acpi hook to attempt to avoid a critical scenario. In fact, I suspect the kernel *will* emit a critical thermal event, but the temperature zips past this threshold and the

This probably should not be handled in the acpi-support package, since acpi-support is considered deprecated and we're trying (without much success) to phase it out. I think notifications would be better handled through upowerd. However, even without desktop notifications, the kernel is supposed
