This is what I wrote on the kubuntu-devel list in response. ---
My concern is that this bug is sort of a worst-case scenario, as far as responsability goes. The bug by itself is quite serious - but it's not clear who fixes it. It isn't probably a kubuntu packaging issue. It may be a plasma 5 kde (upstream) issue. It is I guess even more likely to be a combination of plasma 5 and nvidia driver issue - in which case I don't know where to report it because that driver is proprietary. The installer actually supplies the open-source nouveau driver. There is no control panel that reports the clock speed under nouveau. From the sound of the fan I am guessing that nouveau is also running the clock at a high rate a lot of the time. At the very least all of this should be looked into by someone who knows more about it than it - preferably before the decision to make Kubuntu 15.04 be plasma 5 is permanently taken. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1394856 Title: Nvidia GPU installer misconfiguration Plasma 5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1394856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
