As the problem seemed to be related to the kernel -- booting a 3.16 kernel made it disappear -- I tested every new kernel that was installed since then, and the problem was always there, even after upgrading to Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily or so). A couple of days ago I received the 4.2.0-18 kernel, and the problem seems gone. Sensor temperatures do not go anywhere near the critical values, the fan is silent most of the time, and no kidle_inject processes start.
Of course I have no idea what might have made this difference but I truly appreciate it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1452421 Title: ubuntu 15.04 overheats To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1452421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
