[22:57] <zpmorgan> ts2, Do you know anything about the ASPM overheating regression??
[22:58] <ts2> zpmorgan: best to ask in #ubuntu this channel is no longer active
[22:59] <zpmorgan> okay thanks; I asked #ubuntu-kernel
[23:05] <zpmorgan> hi AlanBell
[23:05] <AlanBell> hi
[23:06] <zpmorgan> Do you know anything about the ASPM overheating regression?
[23:06] <zpmorgan> my laptop keeps overheatingl dunno what to do
[23:06] <AlanBell> in precise?
[23:06] <zpmorgan> I don't even know if that bug still exists in the latest oneiric kernel
[23:07] <AlanBell> I would suggest cleaning the fans and vents and upgrade to precise as soon as you dare
[23:08] <AlanBell> it isn't very scary at the moment to be honest
[23:08] <zpmorgan> Do you know if it will eventually be fixed in Oneiric?
[23:08] <AlanBell> no idea
[23:08] <AlanBell> there is a kernel boot parameter you can set to turn it on
[23:08] <zpmorgan> I tried that
[23:08] <zpmorgan> pcie_aspm=force or something
[23:08] <AlanBell> yeah, that
[23:08] <zpmorgan> And it still overheats with just one core doing something productive
[23:09] <AlanBell> and there are a heap of other tweaks mostly fixed in precise
[23:09] <zpmorgan> What's the state of precise? How likely is it to basically break unbootably?
[23:10] <zpmorgan> (in your experience)
[23:10] <AlanBell> more to the point what would your reaction be if it did?
[23:10] <zpmorgan> boot off a usb key and google it
[23:11] <AlanBell> if you were to boot up to a black screen and think "hmm, thats interesting" then go for it
[23:11] <zpmorgan> okay :)
[23:11] <AlanBell> there is support in #ubuntu+1
[23:11] <zpmorgan> I don't think I've installed an ubuntu+1 since 2006
[23:12] <AlanBell> ts2: I am going to have to grab nalioth or someone to forward this channel, I will do it tomorrow or sometime
[23:12] <AlanBell> zpmorgan: this is a relatively stable cycle, they are not doing any scary changes really
[23:12] <zpmorgan> cool! thanks for the advice
[23:13] <AlanBell> and there is a lot more testing going on before stuff gets released
[23:16] <zpmorgan> AlanBell, ts2, for whatever you've done for ubuntu, thank you!
