Hi Christopher, the problem is not the the power consuming procceses. It is normal that processing of videos or graphis are power consuming.
I see no reason that the processor overheat if both processors are used at 100%. Before Precise it works and under Windows too. Powersave brings my processors to work at 1GHz every time. With Ondemand it switches between 1, 1.33 and 1.88GHz. If the processors go to hot the Linux should reduce the VID or automaticaly lower the CPU frequence for while. I circumvent the problem by my private pearl script which switches between powersave and ondemand. I attach the script for understanding. I would like to take a look in the source where the VID is set to understand the problem. But I don't find the rigth source module. As a summary the top power comsuming tasks are normal and need not to be identified. Hope this clearify and regards Rainer ** Attachment added: "Pearl script to bypass overheating of cpu" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1164557/+attachment/3909443/+files/temp-ctl.pl ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164557 Title: [Lenovo ThinkPad R60] Laptop to hot - VID to high To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1164557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
