Some of these guys seem to assume that it is known exactly what the issue is. Are we reading the same thing? As far as I can tell, nobody knows exactly what it is yet - hence asking for dmidecode output and acpi dump.

To complicate the issue further, people are reporting completely different symptoms - with the only common symptom being "heat".

There is no "temporary band-aid fix", unfortunately.

Is it aggravating? Yes, of course. But like Paul said, are you paying for support? If you are NOT paying for support, then the best you can do is participate civilly in a forum with other open source users who are looking for a solution.

Do you want to hear about my sense of entitlement? I feel I'm entitled to participate in a project like this one without having to listen to the purile rantings and ravings of an idiot. That is my sense of entitlement.

Yes, we are entitled to that.

Are we supposed to quake in fear that you might go to another operating system or you had to, shudder, use Windows? You poor thing.

The community is here trying to make this better.

The only "shittiness" I can see here are the purile rants of a small majority of posters.

YOU are the people who make me want to leave Ubuntu.

Not Cannonical, and not the bugs.
