Linux kernel regression on power usage

I just installed 11.10 64bit on my Win 7 laptop but instantly i realized how hot the laptop become when i run Ubuntu. I sometimes have to boot into Windows just to cool down the laptop.

I read this was a common problem with 11.10 and that there is kernel bug( like i said i read from somewhere)

How do I solve this heating problem as clearly it has nothing to do with hardware as Windows 7 runs quite cool but 11.10 always give a massive temperature hike (not less than 55 degrees)

My Rig: HP Pavilion DV 6700 Win 7/11.10 64 bit dual boot Intel 965/ x3100 Intel Core Duo 2.0 Ghz 4gb RAM

Answer 2

A temporary solution to this is the use of some tool that allow you to reduce the CPU clock, like CPUFreq or Jupiter.

CPUFreq installation instructions: List of Application indicators

Jupiter installation instructions: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html

Another possible solution is the activation of the active-state power management through GRUB (I don't know if it works with Kernel v3).

For this solution, refer to http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/linux-kernel-power-issue-fix.html.

If you want to monitor your CPU temperature I suggest using the indicator-sensors:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexmurray/indicator-sensors
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-sensors
