Laptop temperature gets really high [SOLVED]

Re: Laptop temperature gets really high

can I replace gksu by sudo?

No.

Kubuntu users should use "kdesudo" as the prefix, and your default text editor is kate. So, push Alt-F2 and enter "kdesudo kate" in the entry window and press Enter. You will be asked for the super user password. Then you can do File > Open, and browse to /etc/default to open the grub file for editing.

Note that the terminal command:

sudo update-grub

is correct as stated in the article. "sudo" is only for Linux commands to be run as super user; "kdesudo" is for running user packages in super-user mode.

Good luck with it!

Re: Laptop temperature gets really high

and one more thing... in this part:

gksu gedit /etc/default/grub

can I replace gksu by sudo?
the question might be very basic but since a small mistake may prevent from booting, I want to be triple sure about it before doing it!

NO unless you are using Ubuntu.......if Kubuntu use

kdesudo kate /etc/default/grub

Re: Laptop temperature gets really high

'gksu' is the gnome/unity equivalent to 'kdesudo'

When using the kde desktop, you use 'sudo' to run text-based applications as root, and 'kdesudo' to run gui applications. gedit is a gnome gui text editor. Even when you are using gnome/gtk applications, on kde use kdesudo .

Interesting workaround, I had a feeling it might be something like that. Please let us know if it works.

Edit: just for the record, I use gedit -- I prefer it to kate. You may need to install it if you want to use it. The previous posters are right, kate is the "official" kde editor, but I never let that stop me. But then again I really use vim most of the time anyway, old habits die hard.

ya me too, after the explanations and after I understood what is happening I followed my own preference by using

sudo vim /etc/default/grub

alright, now that everything is fine, just out of curiosity can anyone tell me what exactly happened here by adding the pcie_aspm=force ??
