Netbook overheating in Ubuntu 10.04

Asked by oreske@gmail.com

I installed Ubuntu 10.0.4 on my new Samsung NP 148 netbook. But the temperature is very high shooting upto 63 degrees when playing movies. I tried lm_sensors but in vain. fan control does'nt work. Any help would be appreciated. Is it any unresolved bug in Ubunutu 10.0.0.4

dust is a killer, maybe clean your hardware?

Your netbook has a fan? Mine doesn't. I haven't heard of any that does. My Toshiba netbook run at a minimum temperature of 55C under Windoze. It's slightly lower on ubuntu. Anyhoo, netbooks are underpowered machines and you might be straining it beyond its limit by viewing movies. I got a laptop cooling tray with fans for mine. Works like a charm.

Can you help with this problem?
