Sometimes right after Fedora loads and I log in the fan is running where it is audible, but the temperature sensors show it's cold. After a couple minutes it settles down to normal where I only hear the fan if things get warm from heavy CPU or wireless use. I've also noticed that sometimes the Gnome battery indicator stays full when I'm running on battery. So there are more than a couple hardware glitches. -- Jason Turning <div><div></div><div class="h5"> -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> Guidelines: <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines" target="_blank">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> hm, I think I've actually noticed the same thing as jason on my hp pavillion laptop-- both with the fan (being loud) and the battery indicator since upgrading to F11
