The temperature of my laptop increases very much while i am using ubuntu. i think because of the graphic card. can anyone tell how to lower the temperature. laptop gets discharged in less than 1.5 hrs.

Most of times it could be about your graphic card gets warm and because your graphic card is integrated into your cpu the system thinks that cpu gets warm

install mesa-utils and mesa-utils-extras and reboot , for installing use the following command-

sudo apt-get install mesa-utils mesa-utils-extra

it will work for Intel Graphic Cards

If you are having NVIDIA graphic card then use bumblebee because mesa and NVIDIA will conflict with each other for sure.. to install bumblebee use-

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/testing

then for 12.04 and 13.04 use-

sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia virtualgl linux-headers-generic

otherwise for 13.10 use-

sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus linux-headers-generi

( for newcomes: the $ before this command is just an indicator that tells this command should be entered in a standard user command shell. if you want to use it just press <ctrl>+<alt>+<t> and copy-paste without this dollar mark )

If that doesnt work, try to

  1. Cleaning your laptop- As might be its because of just that, stopping fan from running properly.

  2. Update bios - After updating it can perform good operations like increasing compatibility .That solved my issue.

  3. Update Kernel

hope the very first suggestion will resolve your problem.

Did you try nbfc

My laptop is an Acer Aspire E5-573G nothing else worked to control its CPU fan, but nbfc. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04. The exact profile for my model is missing, but nbfc worked fine with another similar profile (Acer Aspire E5-575G). If you don't know which profile to use, you can try: mono nbfc.exe config -r

Generally More heat means more processing , more work or more load on processor.we cant conclude always that due to only one device.

Actually more heat comes into the matter of processor and you can cool it by reducing the CPU frequency.

Look at this article : Linux Temperature & Ubuntu forums
