With i8kutils mine is working fine. here is my config -sudo nano /etc/i8kmon.conf:
# Minimum expected fan speed set config(min_speed) 2400 # Temperature thresholds: {fan_speeds low_ac high_ac low_batt high_batt} # These were tested on the I8000. If you have a different Dell laptop model # you should check the BIOS temperature monitoring and set the appropriate # thresholds here. In doubt start with low values and gradually rise them # until the fans are not always on when the cpu is idle. set config(0) {{0 0} -1 52 -1 52} set config(1) {{1 0} 44 50 44 50} set config(2) {{1 1} 50 60 50 60} set config(3) {{2 2} 60 128 60 128} when modified, restart with: sudo /etc/init.d/i8kmon restart you can manually turn on temporarily the fun to highspeed with: i8kctl fan - 2 ** Attachment added: "Selection_231.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/1049064/+attachment/3738682/+files/Selection_231.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049064 Title: Dell Vostro 3560 running at full speed all the time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/1049064/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
