Just had similar episodes as what is described here. My CPU apparently was close to overheating (though the maximum temperature I afterwards observed was 95°C, with a specified high/max of 100°C). The Ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop (Asus Zenbook UX301LA) consistently became unresponsive after starting high-cpu-usage tasks (compiling something using ninja-build); after stopping the thermald service, the unresponsiveness was gone even when running the high-cpu-usage tasks for a long time.
The unresponsiveness is quite severe: Though I did manage one time to switch to the tty1 and log in there, I could never enter any more commands there (waiting for approximately a minute or so...). I eventually always had to resort to more harsh methods of restarting the laptop. -- 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
