Mike, For issue 2 please enter a new bug, I will explain in that what I see and possible fix to try.
Let's not mix with fan speed control. thermald can control Fan speed if there is a way to control Fan speed (namely called ACPI Fan or some proprietary control like in thinkpad). man therma-conf.xml has one example to control fan speed on a specific thinkpad model. I need to get more information about the system, which I will ask to dump for Fan control. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1600599 Title: Thermald is totally broken, or its default configuration is To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1600599/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
