[kwlug-disc] Thermal issue with Ubuntu LTS 20.04

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Hello,

I have an older laptop with a bad display that I use for transcoding the
videos that the cheap PVR records from an antenna.
The laptop had 18.04 on it and worked fine.
When I upgraded to 20.04, while transcoding, it shutdown on its own, and
upon rebooting, the BIOS had a notice saying it shutdown due to
overheating.

Doing some searching, it turns out there is a bug in thermald. So I
uninstalled thermald, and transcoding completed without issues.

However, the range where the kernel throttles the CPU is too high for my
liking (95C to 105C).

Is there any way to lower these to other values?
