Argh. Recently the fan has been running non-stop, even though the CPU temperature never seems to go above 40°C.

I've tried various solutions posted on these forums, but to no avail. Can anyone...

Currently got 10.04 installed. Haven't really noticed any improvement in the battery life.
Can manage three hours at a push I reckon.

I have had the same problem twice, both times after updating (currently running 64bit Karmic).

Tried various solutions on the net, but this is the only one that worked for me:

I've managed to get pretty much everything working nicely.

I solved the brightness issue by trying some of the workarounds mentioned in this thread:...

This worked a treat for me, although I had some problems with the 'storage' folder I created not being capitalised to match the name of my storage partition. So I ended up renaming the /mnt/storage...

The npviewer also works for me. Much appreciated!

I installed Ubuntu a couple of days after Gutsy Gibbon came out and loved it!

I upgraded to Hardy Heron on launch day without any major problems, but ever since I did my laptop (Averatec 1020)...
