I installed Trusty onto an older HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with no difficulties, and then after using it heavily for a day became uneasily aware I had not heard the fan.
I tried sensors-detect but all it gave me was coretemp, which was already inserted.
$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +60.0°C
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +58.0°C (high = +90.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
Core 1: +55.0°C (high = +90.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
$ ls /proc/acpi
ac_adapter battery button wakeup
I had the hope that perhaps the problem was in the BIOS, and managed, with a great deal of swearing, to flash the most recent on the manufacturer's website, but have noticed no difference. There is a setting in the BIOS for "fan always on" which I tried disabling, in case that made a difference, which it didn't.
Last time I had fan troubles I had to decompile ACPI, but I have the impression that is no longer recommended?
I'm hoping I overlooked something obvious, but I'll take anything.
