This bug is a bit more severe on laptops. Because it puts continual background strain on processors it leads to very high running temps but otherwise a responsive system. users who are unaware of the problem risk hardware failure or at least decrease lifetime.
For example on my core2 7400 it will cause a proc that runs normally around the 50C mark to sit at 60-70C and sometimes rise to 80C this will cause battery, harddrive and other component to have signf shorter lifetimes. -- npviewer.bin crashed with SIGSEGV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141613 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
