Solve the Problem of laptop CPU fan in Ubuntu8.04

I installed Ubuntu8.04 in my notebook a few days ago, and it feels great to use it. Although it is an integrated graphics card of IntelX3100, there is no problem with Compiz. The weather has been quite hot in the past two days. yesterday afternoon, I felt that my laptop and keyboard were hot and I thought of a heat dissipation problem. Indeed, according to the post on the Internet, the CPU fans of Ubuntu and DellInspiron series computers seem to be not very harmonious, so an additional gkrellm software needs to be installed to enable the i8krellm plug-in.

I installed Ubuntu 8.04 in my notebook a few days ago. It feels great to use it. Although it is an Intel X3100 integrated graphics card, there is no problem with Compiz.

The weather has been quite hot in the past two days. yesterday afternoon, I felt that my laptop and keyboard were hot and I thought of a heat dissipation problem. Indeed, according to the post on the Internet, the CPU fans of Ubuntu and the Dell target series computers do not seem very harmonious, so an additional gkrellm software needs to be installed, enable the i8krellm plug-in to allow the system to automatically control the CPU fan operation of the Dell series computers. Otherwise, the CPU will be over in this hot weather.

The installation and configuration method is simple.

First, find the gkrellm package and i8k plug-in the new software package manager and install it. Or you can simply install it directly on the terminal.

Sudo apt-get install i8kutils

Then, edit the/etc/modules file.

Sudo gedit/etc/modules

Add the following code to enable i8krellm with the system.

I8k force = 1

You can also run gkrellm directly, open the software interface, and manually turn on the CPU fan.

This is done, reboot, wait until the poor CPU feels hot, the fan will be considerate to turn themselves up.
