The fan on my laptop runs constantly in Ubuntu
Maybe someone asked this already, but i must ask why my cooler constantly blowing when i start ubuntu? When I'm on Windows 7 its normal, cooler blowing just when I play some game.
Here is my Laptop configuration :
AMD® Fusion APU Quad Core A8-3500M 1.5 GHz,
Graphic card AMD Radeon HD 6520G 1GB
Ram 8GB DDR3
HDD 500 GB

I guess you haven't set up fancontrol yet. Fancontrol is an application which slows down your fans according to the temperature of your cpu. This is an excellent guide to set it up.
I had same problem, and it bothered me on several distros. Even though your post is few years old problem is still existent. Try to purge all ATI supplied graphic card drivers, and chose open source. For me it helped not only to turn fan off, but also to make processors to work on lower loads when idle.
