I just got done installing Ubuntu 10.04 on an acer laptop. The fan was working fine in Vista but now with Ubuntu the fan doens't turn on, so now it's overheating after an hour or so of use. What's wrong? And if I have to, how do I turn on the fan manually?
P.S. Not my laptop, it's a friend's daughter's.

File a bug. Even if there is a bug that looks like it matches yours exactly, go ahead and file a new, unique bug.
Download the current daily iso. Put it onto a usb drive and boot into the live image to see if that has the same problem.
