Fan / Temp sensor program

[synic]

Anyone know what is the name of the program that probes for the sensors on your motherboard and then plugs those sensors into Gkrellm?

I use to have it, upgraded to F10, and, for the life of me, cannot remember what it was or where to find it.

lm-sensors
http://www.lm-sensors.org/

It's pain to get set up. I ran through alot of the setup wizard stuff on homepage but for some reason my 4850eM amd cpu is not using the k8 sensor - 48 formula and I get wrong outputs and cant figure out how to switch it to the k10 way. The only sensor program that works on cpu temp for me is bios.

As an alternative to gkrellm, you'll can use the Gnome or KDE desktop applet that goes with lm_sensors, and BTW, lm_sensors is in the Fedors repos:

yum install lm_sensors

For Gnome:

yum install gnome-applet-sensors

For KDE:

yum install ksensors

Thanks so much guys.

Yep... it was lm_sensors.

I actually had the thing installed; found this out when I tried to yum it and was advised by yum that it was 'installed' .

Just ran sensors-detect and went through the motions, restarted gkrellm and hey presto... gkrellm now shows my fans and extra temp settings.

Thanks for the heads up.

Have fun.

You might also want to scratch down a mental reminder that whenever you update sensors-detect with a newer version to run sensors-detect over again.

I searched around last night, can't get gkrellm to work with lm_sensors.

If I type 'sensors' or 'service lm_sensors status', get:

That shows lm_sensors is working. To configure that with gkrellm, right click on gkrellm, select Configuration, select Builtins or Plugins, I see nothing. How can your get gkrellm to work with lm_sensors?

[Hlingler]

Hi Marc:

That seems extremely odd. Should be under "Built-ins". You did re-start gkrellm after setting up sensors-detect, right? F10??

I rebooted my rig last night, still no go. Blank Builtins and Plugins.

Oh geez, figured it out, didn't realize the arrow symbol next to Builtins, its a dropdown list from there.

Thanks for responding Fedorians.

LOL thats the sort of thing I do.....

Hi All,

Hope I'm not hijacking a thread.....

I followed the destructions for lm_sensors & krellm, all fine and dandy, but I'm not sure of lm_sensors attachment of names to sensors

Temp3:       +49.0°C  (low  =  -1.0°C, high = +127.0°C)  sensor = transistor

And Ksensors reckons my hdd is at 36deg.

It would seem to me that Temp3 would be more likely for a CPU temp -- and I wonder where it gets its 12deg for M/B temp -I don't need to wear my overcoat while working!!!! Any suggestions on "activities" I might run to push up specific temperatures?

My MB is an Elite K7S5A, with an AMD XP2000. I'm running Fedora 9 with both Gnome & KDE installed, currently preferring KDE

Thanks for your ideas
