Hello!
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my half year old Dell Inspiron 1545/9985 and encountered two problems.
The fan doesn't seem to accelerate when reaching 49°C which it usually does in Windows and pushes CPU and GPU temps back to 38°C - 40°C. Idle degrees are around 50°C for all censors which is 10°C higher compared to Windows (HDD temperature is about the same I guess, slight higher maybe).
lm-sensors doesn't seem to be able to read fan speed either and when I try "sudo fancontrol" in the terminal I get the error
"Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ...
Error: Can't read configuration file"
It never seems to actually boost the fan when reaching higher temperatures either, it's a loud laptop normally but I hear almost nothing using Ubuntu.
Is there a way to fix this or is the Inspiron incompatible with Ubuntu at the moment?
The other problem is that when using my laptop keyboard it sometimes skips to another part in the text, minimizes windows or changes tab automatically. This has never happened before!
What should I do?
