Toshiba M505-S4972 The Fan does not work unless i suspend and bring it back up

[ghepeath]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

My fan does not right out the box on boot
i have to suspend my laptop and then bring back up for it to work
also it did not detect my wireless driver (rtl819xSE) i had to compile it from a tar.....
My laptop also seem to show the tempeture hight under lm-sensors
under temp1, (i dont realy know what is that)
Multimedia touch controls does not work well, it seem that every time
i press it onece it keep pressing on it's own
Looks like is somethign to the acpi, i install toshacpi, acpitools and did not help me.
Also the fan seem to keep spining at one speed, when the tempeture goes up
the fan does not lsping faster to keep it cooler

the track pack seem to work good, but the multfeature it bring does not
example when im trying tu use 2 fingerand stuf,
the main problem it's the fan .... i hope someone can find a fix to this issue

$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points

On my Tosh laptop, sometimes I found a problem where the fan wouldn't start (or stop) unless I had something
that checked the temperature.

It might be worth just doing an acpi -t and see if the fan suddenly changes speed.

I note from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1282161:
"I purchased new Toshiba Satellite M505-S4945 laptop and installed 64-bit Jaunty. Everything works great except that the fan cannot be turned on due to broken ACPI tables from Phoenix BIOS. The fan makes a big difference (40C vs 70+C).

I found an omnibook module from sourceforge that is supposed to fix some issues with Satellite laptops, but I was unsuccessful compiling it, probably because the types of supported laptops do not include Satellite M505. I am not a developer nor a programmer, so I cannot fix the source code of omnibook module myself to add my specific model nor can I find it from terminal."

They seems to get to the conclusion that:
"$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points
critical (S5): 108 C
passive: 101 C: tc1=30 tc2=30 tsp=50 devices=CPU0 CPU1
active[0]: 94 C: devices=FAN0
active[1]: 82 C: devices=FAN1
active[2]: 72 C: devices=FAN2
active[3]: 52 C: devices=FAN3
active[4]: 42 C: devices=FAN4 " is wrong.

What is the result of: "cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points" for you in a terminal window?

I believe this is more a kernel bug. So I'll update the package.

[Paul Dufresne (paulduf)]

As I have changed the package of this bug to the kernel (from gnome-power-manager), please type:
apport-collect -p linux 500666
to attach newly needed information to this bug.

Also having this problem on a Toshiba Laptop Satellite L305-S5955. I believe this problem is the same as bug# 463611. ACPI doesn't seem to work correctly until the suspend. The FN keys (LCD adjust, etc) do not work either until the suspend. Suspending by closing laptop lid doesn't work either. BUT - once you do a single suspend, it all works perfectly, so I think that things are mostly working perfectly, just the one odd behavior of ACPI not seeming to want to work until after that initial suspend. Have had this problem first on Jaunty, now on Lucid.

[peterwil (peter-william)]

Wow! I have GREAT NEWS regarding my Toshiba Laptop L305-S5881.
I struggled with this issue since I bought the laptop in '08 October.
Reported it a number of issues. Tried
i) Hardy - Ubuntu 8 (temps > 75C ) , then
ii) Jaunty - Ubuntu 9.0.4( temps <65 but definitely still hot )
iii) compiled the 2.6.30 kernel and installed the image all to no avail
then gave up the idea of running Ubuntu solely on this laptop, being aware
that the laptop could fry over.
Last week dual booted Vista crashed - had to recover my email from thunderbird and
then decided to look into Ubuntu again based on Jeremy's email a couple of months ago.
After looking through the acpi module source code -noticed a patch was introduced in sleep.c
referencing "Toshiba Satellite L300" to set the EIN bit ,
changed this string to "Toshiba Satellite L305" and recompiled
Kernel.. Still no difference.

Then did an upgrade to 9.10 . After the upgrade and a reboot VOILA !
i) My Fn keys are working. Suspend actuallly WORKS! .. It never did. always had to power down the switch
to make it recover from either Suspend to RAM or Hibernate. -dmesg always showed errors in ACPI .
ii) And then the magic .. acpi -t shows 45 C... !!! This laptop has never showed this reading after 10 mins.
of usage before this.

So fellow Ubuntu aficianados! using Toshiba Laptops L305D or similar models.

Please try out the generic kernel 2.6.31-22 ( 9.10 upgrade ). The overheating and the Suspend issues
are definitely fixed for this model in this release.

My salutations to the developer/s who fixed this most annoying bug/bugs which almost rendered the
Laptop unusable on Ubuntu.. It would have perhaps taken my weeks of ploughing through the
ACPI modules ( sleep.c, fan.c etc ) to try and fix this monster.! Not to mention the 1 hour kernel compile
on each change!.. Glad I can get back to the application space!.

Cheers and best regards
Peter William
