I have thermald running on my desktop PC, which is an older Xeon with 4 cores.
thermald pollutes the /var/log/syslog file on my 15.04. (See this related question, How to quiet Ubuntu 15.04 noisy syslog)
It creates entries like this every 4 seconds:
Jun 23 16:01:08 xxx thermald[30886]: Set : 89000, 40000, 0, 0, 0
I could figure out how to change the config file to make it less noisy, so I turned thermald off completely (temporarily).
sudo systemctl stop thermald
Is this safe? Should I also blacklist the kernel module?
