The wiki did not specify anything about this. Should hddtemp be run as a daemon? what is the recommended setting?
If not running in daemon mode, programs like sensors-applet will not be able to use hddtemp to query the hdd temperature - however sensors-applet now has support for using udisks so you can probably safely leave this as 'No' - saying 'Yes' simply means hddtemp will run in the background and allow you to query it for temperatures over a local network socket (which is what say sensors-applet does). If you want to enable it in daemon mode, you should be able to run the following:
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp

Sounds like you solved this already.

There is a "fix" for this, also very known: install v86d, and add some settings in /etc/grub and other files. Is it ok to set this fix to the macbook pro? Or is it not recommended due to the integrated intel gpu?
Yes this should be fine to use this fix on the MacBook Pro - I use it on my mine (although mine is a 5,1 not 6,2).

intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled
intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: request irq failed, aborting
is there some way to fix this errors? should be ignored?
The first two should be fine to ignore. The second two appear to be that the integrated intel GPU is not initializing, which is to be expected since the discrete NVIDIA GPU is the only one enabled as far as I know when booting Ubuntu so this can also safely be ignored.
