Public bug reported: On Ubuntu Studio 13.04 64 bit i pulled in some updates yesterday, after the reboot i noticed that the fan of my graphics card (nVidia GeForce 9300M G) started to spin faster than normal. So i opened nvidia-settings and checked the temperature, it showed me it was 74 °C degrees and went up to 78 °C degrees within 2 minutes. I tried it also with Nouveau but ended up with the same results.
Normally the GPU temperature is between 60 and 63 °C. Just to make sure it was the Xorg x server - core server update that caused it i re-installed the daily built of Ubuntu Studio 13.04 i have on usb stick and left out the Xorg x server update. Now after rebooting the GPU temperature stays around 60 °C degrees as should. It's the package xserver-xorg-core 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu6 (xorg-server (2:1.13.3-0ubuntu6)) that was published on 2013-04-18. ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1170752 Title: Xorg x server - core server update cause temperature increase To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1170752/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
