Re: [Bug 1514052] Re: erratic fan speed and little control kernel 4.2

 

Hi,

I've tried to use "ubuntu-bug linux", It open my browser, I login but I
don't know what to do after.

It says "no similar bug reports were found", must I create one new?

Title:
  erratic fan speed and little control kernel 4.2

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10 and almost immediately my CPU fan
  started speeding and slowing without good reason even when the PC is
  idle.

  I tried various things but then found that if I leave the computer off
  for a long time and let everything cool down then when I boot from
  cold the CPU fan is stable.

  To test my theory of cold start out I then ran
  sudo cpupower frequency-set -g powersave
  followed by
  sudo cpupower frequency-set -g ondemand

  The final mode is the initial mode.  Almost immediately as soon as I
  moved to powersave mode the erratic fan speed started.  It did not
  stop when I returned to ondemand.

  Temp fix for this behaviour is - go and have a cup of coffee and let
  the computer cool down when you restart: shutdown then start from
  cold.
