[Bug 532978] Re: Lucid makes Acer 5315 overheat and shut down

[Pere Ubu]

I took the risk and installed Lucid alpha 3 on my laptop after reading this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1376547

I edited the grub2 config-file with this command:
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

and added nolapic to this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nolapic"

And updated grub2 with this command:
sudo update-grub

After a reboot the cooling fan now seemingly work as it should.

Consider this as a workaround. An average user should not experience
this problem and be forced to manually edit grub2's config file.

Now it should be easy to cure this bug permanently ;-)

Best regards
Pere Ubu
