Serge Hallyn, as an off-topic discussion, as discussed in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/HighTemperatures#Working_around_overheat many have successfully managed overheat (myself included) by governoring their CPU to powersave via a terminal: sudo cpufreq-selector --cpu=0 --governor=powersave && sudo cpufreq-selector --cpu=1 --governor=powersave && sudo cpufreq-selector --cpu=2 --governor=powersave && sudo cpufreq-selector --cpu=3 --governor=powersave && sudo cpufreq-selector --cpu=4 --governor=powersave && sudo cpufreq-selector --cpu=5 --governor=powersave && sudo cpufreq-selector --cpu=6 --governor=powersave && sudo cpufreq-selector --cpu=7 --governor=powersave
I've had on my todo list for a while now to expand on, and section this off into it's own Community article dedicated to managing Overheat (versus debugging which would imply code improvement). I may have some time within the next couple weeks to work on it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660273 Title: 10de:0a75 [Sony VAIO VPCF11KFX] Xorg freeze Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: xorg Laptop (using nouveau drivers and compiz) was humming along nicely, then froze - I could move the mouse but keyboard and mouse clicks were ignored, and cpu usage must have been high as the fan got very loud.
