Because of the fan problem in Ubuntu 12.10 I still work with 12.04 LTS. In itself there is nothing wrong with that.
Until February 4, 2014. On that day, an update arrived and I installed it as usual.
Later that day I started my laptop again and after a while began the fan unnecessarily run at top speed.
Now I have in 12.04 LTS the same problem as in 12.10. Now /var/log/apt/history.log was my friend.
The packages fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle (version 13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1) were the cause.
Both packages version 8.960-0ubuntu1.1 have I installed back and marked as hold.
In Ubuntu 12.04 LTS the fan now behaves as described in the manual for my Compal laptop motherboard type KHLB2.
Two pages of the manual are in the Appendix.
Now the update for 'fglrx*' does not work what can I expect when Ubuntu 14.04 LTS comes out?
