Package: acpi Version: 1.2-1 Severity: normal My Lenovo 3000 N100 recently started regularly overheating. It does not actually power off, but it slows to a crawl and feels hot to touch. There is even a faint smell of "hot components".
First, I tried checking the temperature: ket% cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00/temperature temperature: 88 C ket% I also checked the processor "throttling": ket% cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling state count: 8 active state: T7 state available: T0 to T7 states: T0: 100% T1: 88% T2: 75% T3: 63% T4: 50% T5: 38% T6: 25% *T7: 13% ket% I guess this explains why the laptop slows to a crawl. Next I checked the thermal zone "state": ket% cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00/state state: passive ket% Now, it seems to me that when the laptop is this hot, it should be in "active" cooling mode. I see this output from "cooling_mode": ket% cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00/cooling_mode 0 - Active; 1 - Passive ket% So I tried: ket:~# echo 0 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00/cooling_mode ket:~# However the state remains "passive" and no fans come on, etc. Finally, this is the output from "trip_points": ket% cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00/trip_points critical (S5): 102 C passive: 87 C: tc1=0 tc2=4 tsp=4 devices=CPU0 CPU1 ket% How can I keep my laptop from overheating? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages acpi depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries acpi recommends no packages. acpi suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
