Ksensors won't show fan speed!

[marcelorrt]

Hello!
I have installed lm-sensors, run sensors-detect and sensors -s.
When I type "sensors" in Konsole it shows all the sensors detected, including a fan sensor that was showing only zero until I fixed it. But Ksensors still shows this fan sensor as zero! I use superkaramba and in any theme I use I get the same result of Ksensors.

If anyone can help.

Thanks

Re: Ksensors won't show fan speed!

What -- Ksensors runs on your Kubuntu system? I didn't know it would run anywhere! It's dead as a doornail on mine -- I have to use Ksysguard or gkrellm to see my sensor outputs. Ksensors puts up a blank background with little "Ksensors" logos all over it. But "Configure" won't do anything.

Hmm - there is only one bug report in the Bugs in ksensors in ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ksensors/+bugs

=> Bug #109472 in ksensors
Ksensors still not working with hddtemp for normal users
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...rs/+bug/109472

Here ksensors is working fine (it even shows hddtemp data - dpkg-reconfigure hdtemp -> suid set).

=> Maybe it is time to do bug report.

Small Superkaramba example:

Small Monitor
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show...?content=30890

Small monitor consist:

smallmonitor.theme (text file)
pixmap folder:
backward.png
bg.png
forward.png


In the smallmonitor.theme:

#Cpu FAN

bar x=604 y=3 path=pixmaps/backward.png sensor=sensor type=fan1 format=%v max=4300
text x=604 y=-2 color=255,255,255 font "verdana" value="Cpu fan :"
text x=657 y=2 sensor=sensor type=fan1 format=%v interval=1000 color=255,255,255 font="verdana" align=left

Kubuntu doesn't understand:

sensor=sensor type=fan1

Using lmsensors (sensors): lm-sensors + grep + awk

man grep

NAME
grep, egrep, fgrep, rgrep - print lines matching a pattern

SYNOPSIS
grep [options] PATTERN [FILE...]
grep [options] [-e PATTERN | -f FILE] [FILE...]

man awk

NAME
gawk - pattern scanning and processing language

and

awk, a program that you can use to select particular records in a file and perform operations upon them.

CPU fans rpm's are in the line that has text "CPU Fan" and it is the third column =>

:~$ sensors | grep "CPU Fan" | awk '{print $3}'

or

:~$ sensors | awk '/CPU Fan/ {print $3}'

=> So with that

#Cpu FAN

bar x=604 y=3 path=pixmaps/backward.png sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'CPU Fan' | awk '{print $3}'" format=%v max=5000
text x=604 y=-2 color=255,255,255 font "verdana" value="Cpu fan :"
text x=657 y=2 sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'CPU Fan' | awk '{print $3}'" format=%v interval=1000 color=255,255,255 font="verdana" align=left

in the smallmonitor.theme, Small Monitor has CPU fan rpm's in the Kubuntu.
