Title:
  Thinkpad T410s overheats with Maverick update

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: acpid

  When I updated from Karmic to Maverick, my Thinkpad T410s started
  overheating, with the CPU reaching temperatures in excess of 90
  degrees C.

  My fix: Following
  http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_control_fan_speed, I created
  /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf with: options thinkpad_acpi
  fan_control=1 and installed the package thinkfan. After rebooting, CPU
  temperatures are around 50 degrees C.

  This seems a potentially dangerous situation, and the Ubuntu
  install/update program should be careful to preserve temperature
  control.
