[polycarbonate1 <polycarbonate1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have suffered from this since Hardy. Something I haven't seen anyone else mention yet it this:
My MB runs way hotter in Leopard than in Ubuntu. Battery life in either OS dropped from 5 hours to 2 after installing Ubuntu. There was an Apple battery firmware update released which fixes the problem in Leopard, only to be broken again (for both OSes) after rebooting to Ubuntu.

I have applesmc loaded, with full thermal readouts in my panel via sensors-applet 2.2.1.

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?
