I've noticed that without the nvidia driver installed the GPU temp sensor always reads 1c. After the nvidia driver is installed it reports the correct temp. I think probably not related to the fan issue. Also it seems strange that the fans stopping didn't survive a reboot. I've noticed that if the laptop is cool sometimes the fans will stop on their own. But this happens very very rarely, and only if the ambient temp is cool as well.
The best explanation/theory I've heard for the fan issue is #14 on this thread: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification/+question/293705 In any case I think this bug needs to be reported upstream to the Linux kernel team. I'm not sure where or to which maintainer though. I've had to resort to using Windows 10 with cygwin (Yuck) and unfortunately had to remove Ubuntu to free up drive space :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602888 Title: Dell Inspiron 7559 fans do not shut off once started, even when cool To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1602888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
