When I was running Ubuntu, I noticed that the fan would ramp up or down more frequently - just for something as simple as opening a browser or the file manager. I didn't have any sensors installed, so I didn't check the CPU temp under those circumstances.
Now that I have Kubuntu installed, I am using one of the CPU temp widgets and it's measuring about 120F. It seems a little hot, and it's creeping up slightly from where it was a couple of hours ago, around 107. I know the desktop widgets drive up the CPU temp, so I'm not surprised.
I did a quick search and found the Ubuntu command: sudo sensors-detect
But I got a "command not found" error
I'm a little concerned that the fan speed isn't ramping up like it used to. I've got a browser, Dolphin, Konsole, and about 6 widgets on the desktop.
As I am posting, it's dropped from about 120F to 118F to 116. The fan didn't seem to speed up until the temp got over 150F, which seems WAY too high.
I tried to install a Fan Speed widget, but I'm getting a python ScriptEngine error. The widget is called "pyCatalysMonitor" from the Plasma Add-On Installer.
Is there a different set of sensors commands to install in Kubuntu?
Thanks.
