[Bug 262550] Re: WARNING: Intrepid might burn down MacBook Pro

 

Point is that a lot of people here seem ready to give the information
needed but information transfer to the actual project is low.

And, yes, as long as Ubuntu claims:

----
 Ubuntu 'Just Works'

We've done all the hard work for you. Once Ubuntu is installed, all the basics are in place so that your system will be immediately usable. 
----

I would expect basic operations to work, especially when it comes to
programs that are part of every default Ubuntu installation.

Why should I re-state the problem? The problem has been described above,
and as far as the test machine reported from at the very beginning is
concerned, there has been no change.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-1-generic

Testing Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4 64-Bit on a MacBook Pro rev. 3. Installing today's updates, the MacBook gets extremely hot and automatically goes into standby. This looks like an emergency standby caused by the EFI or something because it got overheated. Unless you put a metal plate or something under it, the fan runs on highest level at full power, which is not the usual.

Is there a tool you can see the CPU temperature with?
