hllo guys,
im new to ubuntu. ive never used any operating system (for computers) besides windows. now i recently installed ubuntu 13.10 on my dell inspiron 15r 5520. i initially had problems with repositories and certain drivers. the only drivers i could install were video and wifi. now i dont know if drivers are causing this problem but after switching on my laptop it takes around 2 minutes of normal usage for the laptop to heat up enough to start the fan at a high and audible speed. this fan once started does not stop. it keeps running. now this is also reducing my battery life drastically.
i googled it and this is not an unique problem. so this cant be some hardware issue. people have had this problem in the past with versions older than 11 or something. the only real solution i could find was lm tools which i didnt understand at all.
pls help me fix the stupid fan which works completely fine with windows
