Hello

I have all the time a temperature around the 50 C or more. I'm sure 
there are any problem because before many months ago , the 
temperature was around the 40C or less. My question is, if there are 
any way to know if the problem is in the kernel (version 2.6.15.1), 
or for some application/daemon, or the worse, for some Hardware 
Problem ?
       
            
 
      
The fans state is /off/, but if the temperature is to high, something 
about the 56 C, this state change to /on/. My hardware is Intel, the 
computer is a Toshiba Portege R100.
I know that the /top/ seems normal,
/    gusti:  more /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state
  status:                  off/
but before many months ago I used my computer on my thigh, today this is 
impossible, the computer is to HUT.
So ...
   
        
have you checked in the bios to see if it controls the fan based on
temperature? perhaps that temperature setting has been changed
somehow?

Not really, I didn't check the bios, but in the other way, If I forced 
the Fan to run (echo "force_on:1" > /proc/acpi/toshiba/fan), the CPU 
temperature doesn't down from a 44 C and the Mother Board temperature 
doesn't down from the 46 C, even if I do nothing in the computer.
In the other way I set the file "trip_points" in the next form:
       echo -n "62:0:32:37:39" > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points
but the FAN,  still start working only after the temperature is around 
the 59 C. I don't know from where this configuration is coming.
There are other place when the temperature settings are configured ??

  Thank you,
      Gustavo
    
Hi Gustavo,
there is a list that I sometimes read, its called the toshiba linux
mailing list. they may have a clue as to how to handle the issue.
cheers,
Kev
  
Thanks, but I don't think that is a problem specifically of Toshiba 
laptop. I think that is a soft problem. But do you think that is a 
problem specifically of my hardware ?? Why do you think that ??

       Gustavo
