[02:36] <azend> Anyone have a fix for ubuntu laptops that run hot
[02:37] <azend> every single ubuntu laptop I've had has run extremely hot
[05:49] <DarwinSurvivor> azend: make sure you have the video card driver installed, otherwize the CPU dose 50 times as much work as the GPU would have been doing
[05:50] <DarwinSurvivor> azend: laptop-mode-tools is also very helpful
[05:51] <DarwinSurvivor> azend: also look at CPU scaling
[05:51] <DarwinSurvivor> azend: out of curiosity, what machines are you using that are heating up?
[05:52] <DarwinSurvivor> azend: OH, and make sure the fan is actually spinning! You have no idea how often laptop fans die!
[17:06] <azend> DarwinSurvivor: couple of dells, thinkpad t60, eeepc 1005ha
[17:07] <azend> I thought laptop-mode-tools was installed by default in ubuntu on laptops?
[17:07] <genii-around> Hm
[17:08] <azend> My fans seem to be spinning well but they could still probably use a shot of compressed air
[17:09] <genii-around> azend: You have an overheating issue?
[17:13] <azend> genii-around: yeah
[17:13] <azend> all of my ubuntu machines run really hot in comparison to windows
