[Bug 728733] Re: fan only works when my acer 5315 is booted then stops

 

I've got some new observations on this that might help narrow down the
problem.

(1) thermald
I've got thermald installed, and the default configuration seems to work *after* the standby/wakeup cycle. Before the machine goes into standby, the file cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp constantly reads 40000 (40 °C), even when the processor is already way beyond 70°C (as monitored by lm-sensors' coretemp) so thermald doesn't trigger the CPU slowdown.

After the standby/wakeup cycle, this temperature reading follows the
coretemp, and thermald acts correctly.

It seems that whatever the secret windows sauce does, also happens after
a wakeup from standby. So maybe there's something I can do to automate
this behaviour during startup of the machine, not requiring human
intervention to enter "stable operation zone".

(2) apport-collect
When I run apport-collect and ignore its warning that submitting to the current bug is not recommended, the window it gives me lists as the first line "Package: linux (not installed)". I think it will not have collected all the info, but I'll send whatever it picks up and set the bug status to confirmed; maybe someone can help me operate it correctly or tell me to spawn a new bug with the apport-bug.
