I have the same start-stop sequence lag on a Dell Vostro 1720 with i8kutils 1.41 on Debian.
By shutting down i8kmon (/etc/init.d/i8kmon stop) and switching to manual i8kfan commands I can reproduce the lag/freeze for some commands, and not for others; cat /proc/i8k does not cause lag/freeze. The command "i8kctl temp" returns "55" and does not cause a lag/freeze. The command "i8kfan 0 2" returns "-1 2" (and makes the fan run fast) and does not cause a lag/freeze. The command "i8kfan 0 0" returns "-1 0" (and stops the fan) and causes a short lag/freeze. The command "i8kfan 0 1" returns "-1 1" (and makes the fan run slow) and causes a short lag/freeze. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1349176 Title: i8kmon won't work on Dell Inspiron 7720 (causes lag) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/i8kutils/+bug/1349176/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
