Laptop temperature won't be read by temperature monitor plasmoid.

[ubersoft]

Hi all. I have a new HP laptop, and apparently because it's temperature monitoring is done through acpi it isn't monitored with the sensors the temperature monitoring plasmoid uses.

Is there any way to get that information?

Open a console and type:

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

and after it's installed run:

sudo sensors-detect

Accept the default answer on all the questions, and when it's finished, let it add what it finds to the file.

I've done that -- it finds nothing, and it says this is common for systems using acpi to monitor temperature.

I'll try to post the actual message tonight when I get home.
