Problem
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Inspiron 15R. As soon as I boot, the fan starts at full speed and stays constantly on. I've seen similar posts, where installing fan control apps are recommended like
i8kmon
jupiter
mesa-utils
but in general, these do not allow for automatic fan speed control and one has to manually set the fan speed, while keeping track of the processor's temperature. See: Similar post.

Any hint on how to solve this ?
