For earlier versions before 13.10
In my case, I have a HP Pavilion G6 with AMD radeon 6470M and I also faced that situation. So I run following commands and shut down AMD graphics card. Now my overheat problem is solved and my battary life became normal.Run followings in terminal
sudo chown -R username:username #replace 'username' with your username sudo -s echo off /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switchTo run this in every startup, open /etc/rc.local file,
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Include echo off /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch in that file before exit statement.
For Ubuntu 13.10
You can install Catalyst Control Center and Drivers using following command. After installation, restart your computer.sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-pxpress
After reboot, you will be able to start Catalyst Control Center (CCC) using terminal or through dash. To switch between graphics cards, you need to run CCC as root. In terminal run,
