jtd, as per
http://support.toshiba.com/support/modelHome?freeText=3574906 an update
to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (6.90). If you
update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate
does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Toshiba Satellite P855-S5102] Fan too loud while CPU idle

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Windows 8.1, fan is NOT loud. On Ubuntu 14.04x64, fan is always too
  loud (30 minutes after boot and after). BIOS is already updated.
  Update: If battery power only, fan possibly quiet for more time.

  I was hoping it was my LCD cooling_device4, but that has current
  cooling state 100 even when fan is quiet.

  $ lspci | grep VGA
  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)

  $ sudo pwmconfig
  # pwmconfig revision 6166 (2013-05-01)
  /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

  $ sudo fwts -r stdout fan
  PASSED: Test 1, Fan cooling_device0 of type Processor has max cooling state 3 and current cooling state 0.
  PASSED: Test 1, Fan cooling_device1 of type Processor has max cooling state 3 and current cooling state 0.

  FAILED [MEDIUM] NoFanCurState: Test 1, Fan present but has no cur_state present.

  Loading CPUs for 20 seconds to try and get fan speeds to change.
  Fan cooling_device0 current state did not change from value 0 while CPUs were busy.
  Fan cooling_device1 current state did not change from value 0 while CPUs were busy.
  Fan cooling_device2 current state did not change from value 0 while CPUs were busy.
  Fan cooling_device3 current state did not change from value 0 while CPUs were busy.
