Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: acpi
This maybe completely the wrong place for this issue - should I go to
the manufacturer? lm-sensors?
If this is the right place then just to say that the fan dir is empty
which I, as I understand, leaves me without any possibilty to control
the fans.
I don't have any critical issues, only that it / they run constantly and
very loudly, and I would LOVE some peace and quiet.
CPU temperatures are ok (40 - 50 mark).
I bought this machine with vista on it (the fan story was exactly the
same) and if my memory serves me correctly this issue part of the
inspiration to make the switch over to Ubuntu! So it's not that I'm
complaining!
In the attachment is as much relevant information to with sensors that I
could find.
If the "bug report" is the wrong place any hints as to what / where I
could go with it would be very gratefully received. Thanks in advance!
PS - I looked in the BIOS (and there was nothing there relevant to fans)
