I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my old Thinkpad T410i. But after the machine booted, it is sooo hot that can be used for frying eggs. I searched much online. Some said that it is because Ubuntu 14.04 does not handle dual graphic units well. Though my old T410i does not show two graphic units, I tried installing NVIDIA Driver and it seems help a little to cool down the machine. The steps are as follow:
- Add Nouveau to blacklist. Add
blacklist nouveau
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf - Install Nvidia Driver and Prime
sudo apt-get install nvidia-340 nvidia-prime
- Install Nvidia Prime indicator
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install prime-indicator
Then reboot the machine.
