This is my Thermald configuration file inside

/sys/class/thermal/

i can see 5 cooling devices

for eg- cooling_device0 cooling_device1 till cooling_device 4 and 2 thermal_zone0 and thermal_zone1 file

i guess by seeing the thermal-conf.xml i am not using my cooling device and my laptop is always above 80 C and lags alot after 89 C

System specs

Hp pavilion g6 2320tx

Intel i5 ivybridge

4gb ram

can anyone please help me with this

There is no path tag in the thermal sensor to the cooling devices , while I saw other conf files on internet , all were having path files — Ezio, Jun 03 '16 at 06:03
I don't think my fan is properly working in ubuntu because at high temp also it's at normal speed and CPU starts heating up and system lags — Ezio, Jun 03 '16 at 06:05
No it's not the the entire file, do you want me to post the entire file ? — Ezio, Jun 03 '16 at 06:10
No, I just noticed that the default file includes more stuff and wanted to make sure all that stuff was still there. If you didn't change it it should be default. — mchid, Jun 03 '16 at 06:14
So what should I do ? Because this conf file I think is not using the cooling devices I guess , so should I add the path to it and add every cooling device ? — Ezio, Jun 03 '16 at 06:17
Thermald doesn't usually do much until the system reaches high temps usually around 80C. I think it would be best to get the temp lower by other means. — mchid, Jun 03 '16 at 07:05
Well so far, none of my suggestions have worked. Hopefully, someone knows more than I do. — mchid, Jun 03 '16 at 07:11
Well thank you for your effort sir , really appreciate it , would you recommend me to go for kubuntu , will it be helpful in my scenario? — Ezio, Jun 03 '16 at 07:13
Actually, it looks like you have amd graphics? Go to system settings, click on "software and updates", click on the "additional drivers" tab. Then, select the "proprietary" driver listed as "tested". Then, reboot. I don't think Kubuntu would make a difference. — mchid, Jun 03 '16 at 07:16
Yes I am using amd graphics but the proprietary drivers are discontinued in ubuntu 16.04 so what should you recommend ? Should I revert back to 14.04 ? — Ezio, Jun 03 '16 at 07:20
That may be an option. I see that 14.04 is recommended for those who need the proprietary driver. http://askubuntu.com/questions/744050/im-using-ubuntu-16-04-and-theres-no-fglrx — mchid, Jun 03 '16 at 07:27
Also, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/760879/amdgpu-with-hybrid-graphics-16-04?rq=1 — mchid, Jun 03 '16 at 07:29
So I guess I'll try to go back to 14.04 , anyways thank you soo very much sir for all the effort , it's because of you guyz that the ubuntu world is properly functioning :) — Ezio, Jun 03 '16 at 07:32
