How the fuck can this still be unfixed? This is a critical bug that causes a computer to suddenly switch off, loosing data, and it potentially DAMAGES HARDWARE.
This has been known for at least 3 years, nothing has been done and... OMG I now see the importance is set to medium, who is the IDIOT that set the importance to medium?? Is there at least a workaround? I need to force my fan to spin at the maximum speed, since the OS is not controlling it properly and my CPU is BURNING. Also, this recently got worse. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, when I boot and the boot menu shows up, the fan used to spin much faster when the computer was hot. That proved that either the OS, which loads afterwards, would start controlling the speed and keeping it too low, while during the boot menu screen the hardware was left uncontrolled and knew better, OR that grub used to load some sort of driver that did a better job than ubuntu does at controlling the fan speed. Well, that doesn't happen anymore, since a recent update. Now, when my computer gets too hot and switches itself off, or when I see it is getting too hot and I restart it, during the boot screen the fan does not spin faster, it goes at the same insufficient speed as it does during normal OS operation, or even slower. I guess grub has been updated to control the fan in the same broken way that used to only kick in later in the boot process. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697567 Title: something prevents the cooler fan from spinning as fast as needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1697567/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
