[Bug 370173] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown
I tried stuchy's suggestion of updating to the latest BIOS (mine was more than a year old), and adding acpi.power_nocheck=1 to my kernel boot line. Unfortunately it didn't do much in my case, if at all. The only thing which permanently fixes the issue on my HP EliteBook 8530p (Radeon HD3650 video), is using the fglrx driver, running sudo aticonfig --acpi-services=off, and rebooting. That results in a really noticeable difference, so if acpi.power_nocheck=1 did anything it certainly wasn't much. I had high hopes for it though because stuchy was also using ATI graphics. Bummer. I guess this means no fix for Lucid Lynx either. -- Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 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

Just a data point. On my Dell D830, temps would go past 90C with the fans barely limping along under Karmic Desktop. By accident, I tried an install of Karmic Server. NO ACPI, so no suspend/resume etc., but it works perfectly now. temps stay below 70C.

[Bug 370173] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown
Hi there, I've been having same experiences as most of you - overheating my notebook under linux even whet it was left idle. Under Vista there was no problem. Recently my problem was fixed by updating BIOS to latest version and adding acpi.power_nocheck=1 option to boot line. Now I can run under linux with no problems. Thought notebook is still little warmer than when using Vista, but I don't think that it is more than 5°C. Distro that I am using is:Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 Notebook model is:Toshiba Satellite U500-10L hope this will be useful for somebody... PS: what I think about this is that manufactures should be more aware that there are also other OS than Windows, so their BIOSes should be valid according to given standards.

Hi Simo, If you can connect your laptop using a UTP network cable, you should be able to get a working network connection by running the following command: sudo dhclient eth0 With a little luck you'll then be able to apt-get xorg again. Good luck. Nowadays xorg on Ubuntu can start without any config file whatsoever so if you still can't get any graphical output something is surely out of order elsewhere.

[Bug 370173] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown
Hi all, How many of you are experiencing this meltdown problem on a laptop with AMD/ATI graphics and the radeon or fglrx driver? Long story short: the following steps have finally fixed it for me (9.10 beta, HP EliteBook 8530p with Intel Core 2 Duo and ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650): - install the xorg-driver-fglrx package manually (in Kubuntu the restricted drivers thing won't work), probably you're running that driver already - remove or rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf - run sudo aticonfig --initial (writes a new xorg.conf, and if I'd reboot my fresh 9.10 install now, I'd just get a blank screen instead of kdm) - the fix: sudo aticonfig --acpi-services=off This does NOT change the newly written /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, but now I didn't get a blank screen after rebooting AND the heat issue is a thing of the past! Well, in my case at least. Long story: I've wrestled with this incredible heat problem since 9.04 came out and reverted back to 8.10 in despair. Symptoms were: - the CPU fan always kept running at high speed, without any system load whatsoever, and with the CPU power saving active (ondemand CPU governor) - the air being blown out was always hot to really hot - happens both in X as on the console with xorg not running - powertop proves that the CPU really isn't doing much at all (97% of the time in low power state) - reboot into Windows XP or Ubuntu 8.10 and everything is back to normal Now, on to the interesting stuff: the fact that my CPU was idling all the time always made me believe that the video chip was doing weird stuff (CPU + video share the same heatsink fan by the way). Today I wanted to see if this was fixed in 9.10 beta, but the installation CD turned my laptop into an oven and after installation it appeared that the issue hadn't improved over 9.04. It didn't look good using the default radeon driver. Next step: try fglrx of course. I did, and after rebooting X just crashed while loading (blank screen). So I started googling around and came across this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx- installer/+bug/314600 titled [HD 3650] fglrx versions newer than 8.543 cause system hang and panic. One of the participants mentioned that his temps were back to normal so I immediately did the same steps he had done. Temps before: $ sudo acpi -t Thermal 0: ok, 16.0 degrees C Thermal 1: ok, 50.0 degrees C Thermal 2: ok, 64.0 degrees C Thermal 3: ok, 29.6 degrees C Thermal 4: ok, 63.0 degrees C Thermal 5: ok, 30.0 degrees C Temps now: $ sudo acpi -t Thermal 0: ok, 16.0 degrees C Thermal 1: ok, 36.0 degrees C Thermal 2: ok, 45.0 degrees C Thermal 3: ok, 27.6 degrees C Thermal 4: ok, 47.0 degrees C Thermal 5: ok, 30.0 degrees C I suspect that Thermal 1 is the GFX chip, which is causing so much additional heat that it makes the CPU cores (2 and 4?) a lot hotter as well. I'm happy! I hope at least some of you have a similar hardware combination and can now start using Ubuntu's latest and greatest. Still, it's a fix, not a solution, as it's still unclear to me what the cause really is. The --acpi-services=off switch obviously disables something which makes power consumption of the video card skyrocket. I didn't retest the radeon driver now.

Hi Paul, Simo, Stuchy, That's fine, but when I saw this bug and realised that I had the same hardware, I spent an hour specifically installing Jaunty on it in the hope of helping to track down this bug - but I was unable to reproduce it. Why? Am I using the wrong methodology? Am I running a different kernel or software? Is my Aspire magically special? Was it my Ubuntu T-shirt that made it behave? I'm trying to help here. if we have the same hardware and the same software then in my view that rules out either hardware or software as the cause of the problem. I've seen several Launchpad bugs where people with apparently the same problem on different hardware have piled in and reported it, creating a confusing mess that no dev will ever bother to read, and therefore it will never get fixed. Would it be productive to open a new bug report specifically for the Acer Aspire 5135 _and no other hardware_ so that we can work on a reproducible test case that doesn't depend on whose Aspire you try it on, so that the devs can investigate it properly and we can get it fixed before Koala is released?

I cannot reproduce this problem on an Acer Aspire 5315 with Jaunty, using either the stock 2.6.28-11-generic kernel or the updated 2.6.28-15-generic. /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/temperature seems to be very inaccurate (only ever says 45'C or 50'C) and I'm ignoring it. I installed lm- sensors and watched the output. When the system is idling it runs at 46-47'C. Running burnMMX it goes up to 57-58'C. The fan runs constantly in both cases on a low speed that is barely audible. Perhaps there is a different hardware revision or a number of laptops have been made with poor quality or badly applied thermal paste (remember this is an extremely cheap and nasty laptop), or the heatsink is prone to get dusty? cheers, chris. -- Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 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

It stays off for like 3 minutes, then turns on for 3 seconds at max speed. And keeps repeating this pattern. That happened even during its Live CD version, and installation. Once the computer reboots, the fan goes to max. The moment I run Ubuntu, it stops. This is One other thing to note is that, I tried BACKTRACK, a Slaxware based linux distribution.

[Bug 370173] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown
Cooling fan does not turn on when it should while in screen save (or powersave screen off) causing an overheat and safety shutdown of laptop at 95 degrees C. Acer Aspire 5100 laptop running 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS. 1 MG RAM 2 Mhz dual core AMD processor (Turion 64-bit), acpi 0.09-3ubuntu1, acpid 1.0.4-5ubuntu9.3, acpi-support 0.109-0hardy2. This is a new issue. This machine has been running 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04 since April 2008 and this problem only recently began to occur. I would expect the fan to be turned on when necessary even when in screen saver or monitor powersave off mode to keep the cpu within acceptable operating parameters. This being a new issue is why I am not attributing this to a hardware issue and am wondering if a recent update caused a regression. My temporary workaround is I installed a cpu temperature monitoring applet which resides on my upper panel and not only displays the current temperature but also sounds a repeating alarm whenever the cpu temp exceed 72 C. I can reproduce this by leaving the machine alone and allowing it to go into screensaver and after some time the alarms will sound. Once I wiggle the mouse the fan will then turn on and bring the temperature back to acceptable levels. While using the computer normally, I notice that it usually operates in the mid 50's C and the fan will turn on when it reaches 63 C and bring it back to the mid fifties. This also occurs while playing a youtube video in firefox (currently running Shiretoko 3.5.4pre.) Again, temporary workaround is to close the tab playing the video and temperature returns to normal operating range. Updated BIOS to v3.13.

Update: Currently, I am running 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP x86_64 and I did still have 2.6.24-23-generic #1 SMP x86_64 in my GRUB menu from the last kernel upgrade, which clearly was prior to when this problem began to occur. So, I rebooted and selected this older kernel, but much to my dismay, the problem persists. Looks like it might not be a kernel issue. Also, tried operating on battery only -- problem persists.

[Bug 370173] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown
My 2 cents I had run certain tests with 3 laptops: 1) Thinkpad T61 with NVidia Quadro 140, Intel Centrino Pro 2.2 GHz on T7500, 3 GB 1067 MHz memory 2) Thinkpad T42 with ATI Radeon Mobility 7500, Intel Centrino Mobile 1.6 GHz, 1.25 GB 333 MHz memory 3) Dell Latitude E6400 with NVidia Quadro 160, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4 GB 1067 MHz memory My observations: T61 on Mint 7 Live or installed (effectively Ubuntu 9.04) running 2.6.28-11 with NVidia version 173 driver (or 2.6.28-15 running NVidia version 180 driver) - core temp was at the minimum 57C, GPU at 61C, Fan at 3126 RPM and leapt upto 90C, GPU at 85C, Fan at 4259 RPM by launching only Firefox + YouTube (flash) video running fullscreen. Also noticed, that even when idling, the Xorg process consumes a minimum of 27% CPU. No shutdowns, but super-hot (temp-wise) for a laptop. T61 on Mandriva 2009.1 Live running 2.6.29 with NVidia drivers (dont know the version) - core temp was at a minimum of 36C, GPU at 45C, Fan at 3321 RPM and rises upto 62C, GPU at 58C, Fan at 3740 RPM only by launching Firefox + YouTube (flash) video fullscreen + OpenOffice Impress + super_pi running 7th iteration. When idling, X process consumes only a maximum of 8% CPU. No shutdowns and no super-hot temp. T61 with M$-Win - core temp is at a min of 38C and rises upto 59C by launching all the above said apps. Not a fair comparison, but this at- least proves the issue is not related to the hardware in use. T42 on Mint 7 Live or installed (effectively Ubuntu 9.04) running 2.6.28-11 - core temp was at minimum of 39C, Fan at 3468 RPM and rises to 52C, Fan at 3698 RPM under heavy usage. T42 could not be cranked to heavy usage, due to hardware being very old. Xorg process consumes a maximum of 14% CPU. But still the point is overheating does not occur in T42. E6400 on Mint 7 (effectively Ubuntu 9.04) running 2.6.28-11 - core temp was at minimum of 37C, GPU at 44C and rises to 65C, GPU at 59C under heavy usage. No shutdowns and no super-hot temp. Of course, sensors on Dell shows only 1 CPU temp and the GPU temp (or probably Dell has only 1 sensor). Again, no overheating at all.

I got my fan replacement for my ThinkPad T61p and the temperature is at max. 83°C with Windows and at max. 85°C with Linux 2.6.30.5, while using both cores and the Nvidia Quadro FX570M. Before the replacement the temperature was = 97°C, before the cpu clocks down. As it is the second fan replacement, it can be an additional problem for some Thinkpad users. With the 2.6.28-15-generic there is still a cpu downscaling even with the new fan. I have only seen the results and not the highest temperature, as I leaved my desk for a short time and I will not execute it again.

So, I've got an update... Most of the time my HD temperature stays at around 49C - 53C (max is 60C I think). It should be slightly lower I guess but this isn't too bad. My CPU temp is what causes me headaches! Its usually around 55C - 65C. If I'm doing anything remotely processor intensive then it goes upto 78C and the process starts to stutter. For example, I was playing counter-strike and it played fine for about 10 minutes after which the processor temp hits 78C and the game started slowing down. __ Laptop: HP dv5242ea | Core Duo 1.60GHz | 2GB RAM | 320GB SATA | DVD-RAM Matshita UJ 840S | nVidia GeForce Go 7400 256mb | Intel PRO 3945ABG -- Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 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

I'm also running KDE 4.3, and with little effort I can reproduce the problem: $ sha1sum /dev/urandom let it running for at least 2 minutes before hitting CTRL+C. IMHO this has nothing to do with the userland programs (that includes desktop environments) but the kernel. The problem persists even running in single user mode.

I also tried adjusting the trip points in different ways. Trying to adjust in a running kernel was not possible. For me, the only effective way to adjust trip points was as kernel parameters (eg. thermal.psv=60 thermal.act=45 in the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst).

I am _very_ inconclusive. I booted up on 2.6.30.1 on my thinkpad t61. the initial temperature dangled around 47 to 49. The fan (output of cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan) shows rpm of 2900. then I ran the CPU stress : stress --cpu 16 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 128M During the stress the fan as the output of the above remained at 2900(+/- 100) itself. and temperatures (from acpi -V) rose to upto 73 before I killed the stress call. After killing the fan stayed at around ~ 2900, but the temperatures rreturned to ~49 pretty soon. I am not sure why the bloody acpi is NOT controlling the fan speed when the CPU temperature is increasing. I tried listening in on the cpu to see if the fan speed is increasing but cudnt tell any difference. If someone could interpret these results it would be great.

[Bug 370173] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown
I can confirm the problem on jaunty with kernel 2.6.30.3. It's an upsteam kernel problem or not a kernel problem. The fan does stays always at level 5 (~3000-3100 rmps) and does not reach the maximum level 7 (3500/3300rpms). For all ThinkPad T61p users. There is an additional problem with the fan. I had a overheating problem with my notebook last summer while using the NVidia Quadro and CPU.

Re: [Bug 370173] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown
noise It seems that most people here (in this bug report) are Thinkpad users, but undoubtedly there are people with overheating problems [like me] using other brands. Also, it seems that Thinkpad users like to think Lenovo is the only brand out there. After Jaunty, I tried running 2.6.31 (Arch Linux) and now I'm on Karmic (2.6.31-4-generic #23-Ubuntu). The behavior is exactly the same and the only workaround I've found so far (without mentioning acpi=off and thermal.off=1 as kernel boot params) is just to suspend to ram and then restore. After restoring from suspend-to-ram state, the fan works as it should (temperature keeps below 53 C, under load). It would be nice if someone could try this procedure on a Thinkpad. /noise -- Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 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

Went ahead and tried the new kernel install (2.6.30-020630) to fix this issue and it seemed to ameliorate the problem somewhat, but my laptop still runs hotter than it did in Hardy or Intrepid. The CPU temperatures no longer reach 70C under little to no load, but they will climb that high under a significant load, whereas they did not when I was running Hardy or Intrepid. Haven't experienced a thermal shutdown, but that's probably because I was so paranoid about the temperature of my laptop in the first place.

Hi all In my case, the kernel of intrepid (2.6.27) does not have thermal falts. Using some intensive app like a game or stress test, it does not goes over 90 degrees, which seems to be normal for an AMD processor, and the system keeps stable. I made the same tests on Jaunty (2.6.28) and my cpu goes over 90 degrees, (for my cpu, 95 Celsius is a critial value) and them, when at 95, it shuts down. I guess that 87 degrees is a normal temperature under full CPU utilisation, but we must check the critical values for our processors. -- Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 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
