Public bug reported: System: 13.04 on Dell Inspiron 17R SE (7720) i8kutils (1.33)
during the read from the file /proc/i8k, the system hangs for around a half second. e.g. following command let the system freeze for about a half second: cat /proc/i8k In fact, that the i8k driver reads the current temperatur and the current fan speed, the system hangs with the period of the specified timeout time. ** Affects: i8kutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1179282 Title: hanging system (around a half second) during read from /proc/i8k To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/i8kutils/+bug/1179282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
