thermald does also try to ensure the machine does not overheat via passive cooling too (e.g. cpu freq scaling etc), so I thought it may be useful to avoid the power-off overheating scenario.
It may be that once the kernel has booted it indicates to the firmware that the system is under ACPI control so the BIOS fan control turns off in favour for the OS control, which does not happen on Linux because we don't have the secret sauce of the windows driver to do this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728733 Title: fan only works when my acer 5315 is booted then stops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/728733/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
