[Bug 1697567] Re: something prevents the cooler fan from spinning as fast as needed
How the fuck can this still be unfixed? This is a critical bug that causes a computer to suddenly switch off, loosing data, and it potentially DAMAGES HARDWARE. This has been known for at least 3 years, nothing has been done and... OMG I now see the importance is set to medium, who is the IDIOT that set the importance to medium?? Is there at least a workaround? I need to force my fan to spin at the maximum speed, since the OS is not controlling it properly and my CPU is BURNING. Also, this recently got worse. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, when I boot and the boot menu shows up, the fan used to spin much faster when the computer was hot. That proved that either the OS, which loads afterwards, would start controlling the speed and keeping it too low, while during the boot menu screen the hardware was left uncontrolled and knew better, OR that grub used to load some sort of driver that did a better job than ubuntu does at controlling the fan speed. Well, that doesn't happen anymore, since a recent update. Now, when my computer gets too hot and switches itself off, or when I see it is getting too hot and I restart it, during the boot screen the fan does not spin faster, it goes at the same insufficient speed as it does during normal OS operation, or even slower. I guess grub has been updated to control the fan in the same broken way that used to only kick in later in the boot process. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697567 Title: something prevents the cooler fan from spinning as fast as needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1697567/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same issue on my side with an Ubuntu 20.04 upgraded from 19.10 in the middle of march. At the beginning all was working fine. Since yesterday I have exactly the same issue. Laptop is an HP 820 G1 with Intel core I7 cPro.

The importance of this bug should obviously be critical, not medium. It meets all the criteria, plus it may even cause hardware damage. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697567 Title: something prevents the cooler fan from spinning as fast as needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1697567/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I dubt this has anything to do with the kernel. I'm not testing the upstream kernel. Please don't leave this bug in the "incomplete" status or it will starve without anybody doing anything to fix it. > Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? > Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular > problem? I don't know. I have been observing this for years. Ages ago, however, on another computer with Ubuntu 12.something I didn't experience the issue, and I can tell because the fan was also old and would not do its job very well (much worse than my current one), and it was spinning very fast all the time as one would expect in that situation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697567 Title: something prevents the cooler fan from spinning as fast as needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1697567/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.12 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.
