I have been running Karmic (alpha 4, but updated to latest) on my MBP 5,1 without any heat issues, so I can at least un-confirm this problem for Karmic - I really think it is a knee-jerk reaction to put it in the release notes - there are many happy users of Karmic on MBP (see the Apple section of ubuntuforums.org).

Status in Mactel Support: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu Release Notes: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux in Ubuntu Intrepid: New Bug description: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-1-generic Testing Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4 64-Bit on a MacBook Pro rev. 3. Installing today's updates, the MacBook gets extremely hot and automatically goes into standby. This looks like an emergency standby caused by the EFI or something because it got overheated. Unless you put a metal plate or something under it, the fan runs on highest level at full power, which is not the usual. Is there a tool you can see the CPU temperature with? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
