[tlinux-users:08213] Re: FW: Re: Fan control, Ubuntu 6.06

Hi all,

I'm experiencing a similar problem on my Toshiba, it looks like the process
in charge not always turn on the fan, so the laptop happens to turn off
automatically. I have a dual boot, and on Windows I do not have the same
problem.

Is there a way to monitor the temp? an applet?

Best Regards,

Miguel Guirao

Hi,
The sensors you mentioned, how do I get those working? (Toshiba has
replaced the motherboard in my tecra s1) I don't won't to boot Ubuntu
until I can have control/feedback of the temperature.


thanks

I have wondered about that. I run computer simulations on my laptop and
they can take minutes or hours to complete. I'm using GNU Octave  under
Ubuntu 5.10.

I've seen the CPU temp stay between 70-75C (via the handy sensors
applet). I put sleep() commands in my code at places in order to let the
CPU cool a bit between iterations of the simulation.

Even so, if there is a problem (bug), I can sometimes come back and find
the CPU has hit 80C. It still responds to killing the simulation
thankfully and cools itself back down to normal...50-55C.

Perhaps because my simulations are not involving the graphics card
(indeed, I blank the display rather than leave it on the funky
screensaver) I haven't had a problem with it.

Sorry to hear you fried the computer, Andy. (No doubt you this, but you
can still get your important data off it.)

Cheers
Paul.
