I finally got around to upgrading my laptop to Mga2, and it's
running very hot. Much hotter than Windows and Mga1. Does
anybody know of any way to help this? This not only makes it
uncomfortable to work, it has a detrimental effect on battery
life...
Your message is awfully short of details. What I'd like to know
is:
1. What is your laptop's model and specifications?
It is a Toshiba Satellite L745-S4210. Specs from manufacturer's
site:
http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/l740/l745-s4210/
(I paid $100 less than that price last December at Best Buy)
I have a Toshiba Tecra, and it runs considerably cooler than my old Acer.
2. Which desktop environment are you using?
KDE 4.8.2
So am I.
3. Which applications are you running?
As a general rule: Firefox and Konsole. Occasionally Dolphin,
Dragon Player, Libre Office, Amarok.... nothing exceptionally
heavy.
I would normally have a heavier load than that.
4. Which graphics driver are you using? Is it the proprietary
driver?
From lshw: *-display description: VGA compatible controller

I think that answers the question. Thanks.
The first thing I'd suggest is going into System Settings> Desktop
Search and turn off all indexing. If that solves your problem then
you can either leave it off, or try closing all other software and
letting the indexing happen overnight or while you are doing something
elsewhere. The initial indexing does take a lot of resources and many
people have found that their computers run hot while it is working.
Usually, once the initial run is complete, it doesn't cause any real
problem.

I just had a laptop returned that I installed Mageia2. It also was
running hot. I turned off indexing and also turned of the 3D effects in
KDE. This seemed to cool it down. I just returned the laptop to its
owner and hope to hear from him later this week. He is running a Dell --
I don't have the model specs here as I was hoping I had found the fix
for the problem. I know the laptop has on onboard intel graphic chip and
that the owner does a lot of YouTube.
BTW ... my own laptop runs fine with indexing on and 3D effects, though
I tend to turn it off by choice.
Cheers,
Marc
