Public bug reported:

Pure system ubuntu 18.04.1 with all update running on Lenovo p52 laptop.
CPU fans speed is very low by default and start running only after 65 degrees.
As a result laptop is very hot all the time independ what I am running. 

proc shows that level control is auto
cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan 
status:         enabled
speed:          0
level:          auto

but it is impossible to switch fan on
echo level full-speed > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
