@Federico: I tried the method you sent, and my machine seems to work perfectly now! 
I used since the modifications were made, and in the entire day the temperature never was more than 58~60° C. Great!!!

@Christopher: First of all, thank *a lot* for all the time and effort following this issue. 
Is ok to file a bug control case for this considering that is solved using tools that are included in Ubuntu 14.04? Maybe there is some other method to follow, just to let the installer understand that for this kind of machines, the best is to install thermald, and add some configuration parameters to Grub, what do you think about this?

Thanks everybody!

Best regards,

HeCSa.

Title:
  [Toshiba Satellite L845-SP4105LA] laptop fans malfunction in Ubuntu
  14.04

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,
  When booting into Ubuntu 14.04, and using my new Toshiba L845, the fans do not start working, or do not stoip working, depending on the boot.
  Pressing "Esc" when booting, I can read in the boot messages something like:
  Not starting fancontrol; run pwmconfig first.
  This message also appears in the boot.log.
  I tried to execute pwmconfig, but this is my output: 

  root@sdf1:/var/log# pwmconfig
  # pwmconfig revision 6166 (2013-05-01)
  This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
  controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
  your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
  circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.

  We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
  The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
  after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
  physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
  after the program has completed.

  /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
  root@sdf1:/var/log# 

  But when running "sensors", I have an output like this one:

  root@sdf1:/var/log# sensors
  coretemp-isa-0000
  Adapter: ISA adapter
  Physical id 0:  +44.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
  Core 0:         +43.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
  Core 1:         +44.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
  Core 2:         +43.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
  Core 3:         +37.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

  radeon-pci-0100
  Adapter: PCI adapter
  temp1:        +38.5°C  

  root@sdf1:/var/log#

  As you can see, I boot'ed my machine just a few minutes ago, and this
  is why it's so cool...in some minutes the battery will suffer because
  of the fans, or because of the heat.

  lsmod qives me this output:

  Please, if you have any clue about whan can I do to use my machine
  with Ubuntu, I'll appreciate it. Yesterday I was out of my hoouse, and
  when back, I noticed my laptop was 90° C...a lot!

  Thanks for your time and effort in helping me solve this.
  Best regards,

  HeCSa.
