Yesterday I was trying to solve some other problem, following steps given on this page http://www.ivegotavirus.com/blog/2011/11/06/how-to- get-optimus-working-on-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric/
Soon after step 3) sudo apt-get install bumblebee, fan started working fine. Is this related? Now fan works fine. I haven't finished the steps mentioned on the page. Just installed bumblebee, now fan is working normally. I also keep ubuntu uptodate so not sure if that is also related. I am using 3.0.0-16-generic x86_64 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/836480 Title: CPU fan runs very very fast ubuntu 11.10 dell xpsl702x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/836480/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
