Hi, I just have installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on my HP laptop with Intel CORE i7 processor. CPU fan has been running at full speed most of the time. I found out that performance governor was set (by default) and CPU clock was always very high.
I fixed by editing /etc/default/cpufrequtils ENABLE=true # default GOVERNOR=powersave No I have "powersave" mode after booting by default and quite CPU fan. Clock is now ~1.2 GHz when idling while it is automatically increased on higher load. I just wanted to file a bug suggesting to set the governor to "powersave" by default and found this on. According to the state of this bug report this should already be fixed. Is there a regression in Ubuntu 14.04.x Trusty Tahr? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314653 Title: sysvinit: default cpufreq governor to powersave for intel-pstate driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/1314653/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
