(Must be > disparaging... ;-) ) I've read it, and commented: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/22336/comments/162 7 of the submitters had the problem go away when they cleaned the dust out of their fan.

BTW, the Ubuntu developers are on record as thinking it is important, they just didn't know how to address it. -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
