I'm having a similar problem on "generic" notebook with a Pegatron motherboard. The notebook/motherboard seems similar to the BenQ Joybook S57. The fan works on the Mandriva 2009.0 that came installed with it and (!) with linuX-games-live 0.9.4. Booting Ubuntu with acpi=off seems to keep the fan on/reasonably fast for some time. Any files I could post from these system which could be useful for comparison? One thing I noticed is that Mandriva show lower temperatures _and_ trip points. Right after a cold boot:
Mandriva: coretemp-isa-0000 Core 0: +33°C (high = +85°C) coretemp-isa-0001 Core 1: +32°C (high = +85°C) Ubuntu, something like(had to erase the instalation, and also lost the saved log :-/ ): thermal Virtual: +70ºC (high=90ºC, critical=90ºC) coretemp-isa-0000 Core 0: +67ºC (high=90ºC, critical=90ºC) coretemp-isa-0001 Core 1: +64ºC (high=90ºC, critical=90ºC) -- [karmic] laptop overheats and shuts off -- fans at low speed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387620 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
