Overheats shutting off toshiba

[narnie]

Fan used to spin up in prior version of Ubuntu, but only stays one speed and have had overheating problems since Intrepid.

Have to have powersave governor in use to prevent overheats and sudden kills.

powersaved gone, can't throttle. Not sure what is replacing it that can be done in userspace(which I prefer)

Found cpufrequency-selector which sets governor, but not throttle.

Wrote:

#! /bin/bash
#

#if ! type promptYesNo > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then . /home/woodnt/scripts/misc.sh ; fi

SPEED=$1

for i in 0 1; do
 cpufreq-selector -c $i -g $SPEED
done

which allows in userspace. Miss powersaved, though where I wrote:

#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO make error checking for arguments

. /home/woodnt/scripts/misc.sh

LEVELS=$((`powersave get-brightness-levels -L|awk '{ print $4 }'|sed 's/\.//'` - 1))
LEVEL=-1

USAGE="
_____________________________________________

throttle [-d DIGIT|u|d]

-d DIGIT is a number between zero and
 $LEVELS or \"u\" for level up or
 \"d\" for level down
_____________________________________________

"

checkLevel () {
LEVEL="$1"
while : ; do
 # Check to see if it is a number and if so between 0 and upper level and if so return
 if [ -n "$(echo "$LEVEL" | sed -n '/[0-9][0-9]*/p')" ] ; then
  if (( $LEVEL >= 0 && $LEVEL <= $LEVELS )) ; then
   #LEVEL="$1"
   return
  fi

 # Check to see if level is either u or d and if so return
 elif [ "$LEVEL" = "u" -o "$LEVEL" = "d" ] ; then
  #LEVEL="$1"
  return
 fi

 clear
 promptQuestion "
___________________________________________________

Level must be between 0 and $LEVELS or

either \"u\" for up or \"d\" for down\n\nPlease enter new level: "
 LEVEL="$ANSWER"
done
}

if [ "$#" = 0 ] ; then echoWhere -k -H 400 -W 600 "$USAGE" ; exit ; fi

case "$1" in
 level) echoWhere "$(powersave --get-brightness -K)"
   exit ;;

   exit ;;

   exit ;;
 ondemand) echoWhere "$(powersave --dynamic-speed -A)"
   exit ;;
esac

while getopts d:h OPT ; do
 case $OPT in

   ARG="set-brightness -k $LEVEL" ;;

Will include hardinfo report and once bug number generated, apport-collect

Hi narnie,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 633612

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
