Bug Description

Indeed the system crash durring the installation , the system reports that it reach critical temperature at less than 44°C even if fans are active.... (it's the same with ubuntu kubuntu and xubuntu)

The only Issue I found is to put my laptop in a fridge to decrease the temperature...
Next I set the following parameters :

           echo "100:0:65:70:0" > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points
           echo 2 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/polling_frequency
           echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

this fix the problem.. but if the system crash It returns to original bad settings... so I must put again my laptop in fridge and repet the operation..... My computer is a HP Omnibook xe4500s .....

Greg,

Is this on 7.10 or 7.04 with Kubuntu/Xubuntu? Are the fans not running at all or are they just not cooling the system?

Hi Jonathan ... I have only test 7.04 of kubuntu ubuntu and Xubuntu.... It's the same for all 3...
Fans are running well and they cooling the system , I think that all is OK with the material since the begining....
I Think that originals value of critical temperature are just wrong or too few.... All I can say is that I need to use those 3 lines of code to solve my problem....

I Don't found where to download the 7.10 .... Even else I can test IT....
