Comment 138 for bug 370173

Perhaps there is some magical "issue 2" . But how do you know your
fan is spinning properly if you haven't tried to speed it up? Being
unscientific is only creating more problems for this bug. m4cph1sto
you one of the people being very unscientific about this bug. I know
for a fact that we are all running the same fan triggers and that they
where not properly tested before shipping them to us. Speeding up
the fan is a quick fix, But like i said Cannonical doesn't give a
fuck about us, they would rather our hardware burn then pay for real
regression testing. This issue is still completely ignored even when
there is a known fix.

peace
