Comment 41 for bug 187671

Sorry for the slightly off-topic question: has any of you experienced a bug (most likely a regression between 2.6.24 and 2.6.27) by which the laptop's fan works at a constant speed regardless of the temperature? eldragon and I are having that one, and is not exclusive to Ubuntu as far as we know. The problem may happen after several hours of uptime, and it involves /proc/acpi/thermal_zone becoming empty -- the temperature sensor applet, if you have it on, disappears from gnome-panel as a consequence.

If anyone knows of a Launchpad bug tracking this let me know, else I'll open one.
