[Carl Englund <1535442@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Issue started after fresh install, no knowledge of earlier kernels.

Laptop is currently broken and unavailable for testing, it suddently
died in the middle of normal usage. Ruled out memory and reseted BIOS.
Unsure of reason for malfunction but suspecting solderings. Will perhaps
try baking in oven but most likely this laptop is finished :-(

Title:
  Pavilion g7 laptop becomes too hot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After install and updates this laptop still becomes VERY hot. I
  installed indicator-sensors to get a handle on the temperature and
  it's hovering at about 80C without much load at all.

  I managed to work around this by adding "radeon.runpm=0" to boot
  options and adding to /etc/rc.local:

  sleep 15
  echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

  to turn off the discrete GPU. Now temp is 50-61 degrees during normal
  use.

  I tried the Vivid and Wily LTS-kernels but the problem is still there.

  As a side note, fglrx apparently doesn't support my GPUs anymore but
  is still offered in Additional drivers. Installing them messed up my
  system and I had to remove fglrx manually in console, which was not
  nice. Do you think I should post a bug report on that, so fglrx is not
  offered for these GPU?
