I'm pretty sure things have gotten worse for me since updating precise -> quantal. I used to be able to build kernels with -j2, and since the update, I get thermal shutdowns sometimes even running a single-threaded (ie no -j) build.
Maybe this is just coincidence and my fan has gotten more clogged with dust over time or something like that, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1030156 Title: long-running compile leads to laptop overheat & shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1030156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
