I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my DELL Inspiron 15R.
Since I have installed it, my fan is constantly spinning, even I do absolutely nothing. I found this post and I decided to install i8kutils. Just after I installed it, my fans are now not spinning at all!! This is very dangerous for my laptop... If I run i8kfan -1 2 my fan is spinning for 1-2 seconds in full power, and then stops again. What I should do?
I also tried the following that exist in this answer:
Put ENABLED=1
in /etc/default/i8kmon
Put set config(auto) 1
in /etc/i8kmon.conf
UPDATE:
Please also find the output of this command $ /usr/bin/i8kmon --verbose here
ps1: I should mention that my laptops fans work flawlesly when using windows.
ps2: I also know that there are numerous similar questions out there. I spent many hours studying them and I couldn't find any good answer. Therefore, I am seeking for a good answer, than closing down my question as duplicate.
