Ondřej Michálek, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

  ThinkPad overheats

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: acpi

  Edgy on my ThinkPad Z60t doesn't manage its temperature very well. It
  is enough to leave the laptop alone just with inactive Firefox running
  and the temperature rises soon at dangerous 93°C (200°F). That causes
  the fan to speed up, however only to keep the temp at the same 93˚C.
  The average temperature is also higher than it should be, eg. when
  playing Wormux it rises above 72˚C.

  I tried to fix the problem by using fan speed script ( http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ACPI_fan_control_script#Variable_speed_control_scripts )
  from ThinkWiki but with no result, because ibm-acpi module ( http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ibm-acpi )
  did not work correctly for me
     ($ sudo modprobe ibm_acpi experimental=1
      returns something like "access denied")

  It also might be connected that the CPU frequency never drops bellow
  800MHz.

  I hope the bug is caused by acpi as I fillwd it, please let me know
  what files I might provide.
