reading the temperatures ?

From: Federico Savini on 20 Jan 2008 07:44 is there anything to read the temperatures of cpu and other ? i've tried installing gkrellm but it indicates the lack of sensors and i dont know how to tune them. i've tried installing lm-sensors but nothing changes, Anything simpler ?

Hi, After installing lm-sensors did you run sensors-detect? For my PC sensors-detect produces a script which I put into rc.local so that the sensors modules are loaded. gkrellm shows temperatures for cpu ambient and core, also nvidia GPU, plus case fan speed and Intel cpu fan speed. sensors-detect output: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers # modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter 0 at 1:00.0 # modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter 1 at 1:00.0 # modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter 2 at 1:00.0 modprobe i2c-i801 # Chip drivers modprobe eeprom modprobe it87 # Warning: the required module coretemp is not currently installed # on your system. For status of 2.6 kernel ports check # http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices. If driver is built # into the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the following line. ###modprobe coretemp # sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- Good luck...

I don't think so. Due to the nature of the beast, there is a certain amount of configuration that must be done. Run sensors-detect and follow the instructions - it's not difficult, but must be done properly.

I'm running a dual-boot Windows XP/Linux configuration on a Dell SC420. The BIOS can read temps, adjust fan speed, etc. Research has indicated (on 3 different occasions) that Dell has done something special with the sensors on this motherboard (a slightly customized sensor- controlling chip) and that nothing in the Linux world understands (possibly yet). So, a good google of the '<motherboard> lm-sensors' might also be in order. -- The email address, above, is most certainly munged. Perhaps you might reply to the newsgroup, instead? Thanks!

Yes! ;^) Lick your finger and touch the component, if steam escapes it is HOT. Learned from mother when ironing. Have fun Stanislaw Slack user from Ulladulla. |
