I have the same issue on an acer vn7-592g and Ubuntu 18.10. I temporarily fixed by editing thermald config in /etc/thermald/thermal- cpu-cdev-order.xml to deactivate most cooling methods (guess work as the documentation for it is almost none existent)
<CoolingDeviceOrder> <!-- Specify Cooling device order --> <CoolingDevice>rapl_controller</CoolingDevice> <!--<CoolingDevice>intel_pstate</CoolingDevice> --> <!--<CoolingDevice>intel_powerclamp</CoolingDevice> --> <!--<CoolingDevice>cpufreq</CoolingDevice>--> <!--<CoolingDevice>Processor</CoolingDevice> --> </CoolingDeviceOrder> On my setup only "rapl_controller" seems to work. "cpufreq" has no effect (might have something to do with my TLP config) "intel_pstate", "intel_powerclamp" and "Processor" never stop throttling once the temperature limit is reached. If needed, throttling can be reset without rebooting by: "intel_pstate" --> sudo tlp start (you probably don't need tlp but I don't know the underlying command that makes it work) "intel_powerclamp" --> sudo rmmod intel_powerclamp (https://askubuntu.com/questions/457252/intel-powerclamp-start-stop-forced-idle-injection) "Processor" --> no idea, can't even find documentation on what it actually does -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1800446 Title: kidle_inject constantly running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1800446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
