= Fan Speed High =

I have often found that the fan speed is high after I install a new version of Ubuntu, so this is what you do to fix it.<<BR>>
This is a slight update to a post I found at: http://askubuntu.com/questions/376636/notebook-fan-constantly-running-at-a-high-speed

 1. Install lm-sensors: {{{sudo apt-get install lm-sensors}}}
 2. Run sensors-detect which will install the 'coretemp' module
 3. Run in terminal: {{{less /etc/modules}}}
 4. Modify /etc/default/grub: {{{sudo nano /etc/default/grub.conf}}}

Change from:
{{{
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
}}}
to:
{{{
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux"
}}}

 5. Update grub: {{{sudo update-grub}}}
 6. Reboot your machine
 7. Run {{{sensors}}} on the command line at anytime to see the current temperatures. {{{sudo}}} not needed.
