Title:
[Dell Latitude E6400] Different fan behaviour in my laptop after
upgrade to ubuntu 14.04
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
After upgrading from lubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 the fan of my laptop seems
to run much more often than in 13.10. When it runs, it doesn't run
continously but starts and stops every second.
`fwts fan` results in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test 1 of 2: Test fan status.
Test how many fans there are in the system. Check for the current status of the
fan(s).
PASSED: Test 1, Fan cooling_device0 of type Processor has max cooling state 10
and current cooling state 0.
PASSED: Test 1, Fan cooling_device1 of type Processor has max cooling state 10
and current cooling state 0.
PASSED: Test 1, Fan cooling_device2 of type LCD has max cooling state 15 and
current cooling state 10.
Test 2 of 2: Load system, check CPU fan status.
Test how many fans there are in the system. Check for the current status of the
fan(s).
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.
ADVICE: Did not detect any change in the CPU related thermal cooling device
states. It could be that the devices are returning static information back to
the driver and/or the fan speed is automatically being controlled by firmware
using System Management Mode in which case the kernel interfaces being examined
may not work anyway.

In a discussion on askubuntu about this topic:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/459707/different-fan-behaviour-in-my-
laptop-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-14-04 a user suggested that this may be
a bug in the 3.13 kernel and that there seems to be a patch applied in
14.04. It would be great if you could patch/upgrade the current kernel
release in the repositories such that this bug will be fixed just by
upgrading the kernel image using aptitude.
The askubuntu discussion also revealed that other users have this
problem too: http://askubuntu.com/questions/464745/loud-fan-on-
