I've just installed Ubuntu 13.04 and I think I may have issues with the graphic card.

Its fan is just running very fast (and noisy).

I tried to check the temperature using sensors and got the following:



coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +48.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +47.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2: +46.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3: +47.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

it8718-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
in0: +1.12 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in1: +1.89 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in2: +3.30 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
+5V: +2.99 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in4: +0.45 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in5: +0.11 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in6: +0.10 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in7: +3.20 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
Vbat: +3.28 V
fan1: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
fan3: 477 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
fan4: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
temp1: +44.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = thermistor
temp2: +43.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = thermal diode
temp3: -2.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = thermistor
intrusion0: ALARM

radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +113.0°C


IIUC - the temperature is 113.0C is this a normal temperature? Is this why the fan is running fast? Until yesterday I had Windows 7 on this same machine and I haven't had any problems with the GPU fan.

Might be a drivers issue, I tried to install the driver for AMD/ATI web site and failed (something about required packages missing - checked the logs to see what is missing and found out it is installed).

I'd appreciate any help here.



Thanks,

Itay

As I said here: Overheating on VAIO SB36




Usually, the overheating problem in Ubuntu is related to the graphic
card, and in your case, you have an Hybrid graphic card with the open
source drivers. In this case, by default, you have both graphic cards
connected but you are only using the integrated (Intel). If you want
to use only one and when you want, you need to install the privative
drivers following this answer:



What is the correct way to install proprietary ATI Catalyst Video Drivers (fglrx) directly from AMD?



And using the latest driver:



(6 jun)
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-linux-x86.x86_64.zip




The problem is that the latest stable driver from AMD is not compatible with the last version of Ubuntu with the latest version of the Xorg Server. Download the latest beta driver which is compatible with Ubuntu 13.04:



http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-6-beta-x86.x86_64.zip



You can try to install it, but as you can see, the privative driver is not compatible with 4XXX series: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst13-6LINBetaDriver.aspx






Also I found this: Radeon HD 2000, 3000, 4000 on Ubuntu 12.04.2 and higher: fglrx (legacy) unsupported, what to do?




As I have found out (4850 here), you can't via any method install
fglrx-legacy on stock ubuntu 12.10, even if you use catalyst 12.6
which supports our cards, because the x server that 12.10 uses (1.13)
is not supported by catalyst 12.6 or older.



However, this is somewhat of a solution, that I can confirm works on
my machine:
http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/10/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy.html



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fglrx-legacy


Just follow that (well, uninstall any fglrx you have installed now
first), and you should have a better experience.



I should note, you will be downgrading your x server to version 1.12,
and these packages are not supported by ubuntu, but this is the
closest to a "solution" as can possibly exist at this time.



I hope this helps some!
