    Same for me on a L455. I can feel the heat coming out of the keyboard.

    Re: Toshiba fan not working

    I know that this is a long shot, but if everything else fails you could try installing 10.10 and see if that works better:

    http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/maverick/alpha2

    All standard warnings apply: This is in development and might change without warning (and so on and so on).

    Best is doing a clean install, not an upgrade.


    Updating the BIOS is 'another last attempt' that might be worth considering.

    Instead of "acpi_osi=Linux", try adding only "acpi_osi=" instead. I tried this on my L305D and the fan and brightness keys work now. According to a kernel parameter document I found, not specifying an os disables the _osi method, which apparently solved my problem.

    I hope this helps someone else!
