SuperKaramba Theme How To??

[attila_66]

Hello,

I am using otromonitormas system monitor.
(http://www.kde-look.org/content/show...?content=65412) downloaded from Kde-look.

I already installed lm-sensors and hdd-temp programs.

I have problem with the temperatures and fan speeds.
On the graphics there are places for core1 and core2 only core1 shows temperature.
No temperature for MB GPU and HDD.
Also no display for fan1 and fan1.

Can anyone help me to modify this theme??
My pc AMD x2 4200+ Asus M2A-VM Mainborad Nvidia Geforce 8500GT
Hardy Heron up to date!

Thanks

Re: SuperKaramba Theme How To??

does lm-sensors

 sensors

list all temperatures/speeds in the konsole ?
have you run

 sudo sensors-detect

after lm-sensors install?

for hdd monitoring i myself am using smartmontools, which needs to be run as root (hence messing with sudoers). perhaps hddtemp has similar issues

I think the problem is with the commands used in the system monitor theme.
I think we should modify this theme.

Re: SuperKaramba Theme How To??

that should be simple enough

you can edit .theme files with kate (but do backup the original, just in case)
the command for Core0 Temp should be something like

 text x=... y=... sensor=program program="sensors | grep '...' | ... etc

what follows immediately after grep is important, as it determines which line is printed; then the output passes through awk or sed to print just the temperature value
e.g. in my own widget i use

 text x=330 y=240 sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'Core0' | awk '{print $3}'" align=right interval=25000

try changing values to Core0, Core1, fan1 and play with the theme

Re: SuperKaramba Theme How To??

At the time you install hddtemp (which of course is done in "sudo" mode) it asks if you want the daemon started on the monitoring port. Assuming you tell it "YES", then the actual drive temps can be shown in your monitoring package in user mode -- at least that is true for gkrellm which I use.

thanks, dibl!
good to know there's a more elegant option to modifying /etc/sudoers.

Re: SuperKaramba Theme How To??

Thanks for the replies.


Musta
In my case it seems i should use [grep "Core0 Temp"] and [grep "Core1 Temp"] for core temperatures.

Dibl
I replied yes to the question you mentioned with the installation of hdd temp.

Now I am at work no linux here > .

I will play with the file when i go home and write the results.

not really; sensors | grep 'Core0' will print all lines from sensors output which contain Core0, and since you have only one such line that's the one getting printed.

Hello,

I tried lot of things but not satisfied.
Here is the karamba theme lines for temperature.

How to configure lines??
What programing language are these files written??

Thanks for any help.

Re: SuperKaramba Theme How To??

the theme file is basically a text file with a custom and very easy to learn syntax

let's try this for starters:

instead of

 text x=100 y=25 sensor=program program="sensors | grep -o '+[^ ]*C' | head -n 1 | cut -d + -f2"  interval=3000 align=left color=255,255,0
text x=200 y=25 sensor=program program="sensors | grep -o '         [^ ]*C' | tail -n 1| awk '{print $1}' | cut -d + -f2"  interval=3000 align=left color=255,255,0

place this

 text x=100 y=25 sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'Core0' | awk '{print $3}'"  interval=3000 align=left color=255,255,0
 text x=200 y=25 sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'Core1' | awk '{print $3}'"  interval=3000 align=left color=255,255,0

the cores' temperatures should now show;

the theme has fields for CPU and MB; however your board has more sensors and with a different naming scheme, therefore choose two of them and add them accordingly

instead of

 text x=100 y=40 sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'CPU Temp:' | cut -d + -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1" interval=3000 align=left color=255,255,0

try

 text x=100 y=40 sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'temp1' | awk '{print $2}'" interval=3000 align=left color=255,255,0

same goes for MB

replace

 text x=100 y=55 sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'Sys Temp: ' | cut -d + -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1" interval=3000 align=left color=255,255,0

with

 text x=100 y=55 sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'temp2' | awk '{print $2}'" interval=3000 align=left color=255,255,0

if all goes well something similar need to be done to the bars

as for the nvidia entries you should add a space between | and grep and check results

for hdtemp post an output of hddtemp /dev/sda here to see what the command should be

Re: SuperKaramba Theme How To??

Hello,

Thank you very much for the help.
System works partially well.
All you said are working.
You can see a picture of my theme.
Meanwhile i installed nvidia-settings so my gpu temperature came on the theme without any change.
(I remembered GPU temperature on my last linux (Pardus) was working without modification after installing nvidia drivers and settings.)

Hddtemp program gives an output "premission denied". I think i said "no" to the question while installing hddtemp.
Tried uninstall and agan install no question is asked >

What to do now?

Thank you again Musta for your help.

Re: SuperKaramba Theme How To??

Hello Again,

Meanwhile i worked on the theme and arranged the bars also



Hddemp is also ok. I found "sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp" command. Saying yes to the first question made hdedtemp work with user previligies!!

But no success on fan speeds.
> > > > > > > >

I use this line

ext x=100 y=140 sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'fan1:' | awk '{print $3}'" interval=3000 align=left color=255,255,0

The output on the theme is "RPM" not a number like 2536.

Any suggestion??

Thanks for the help again.

[musta ruhtinas]

Re: SuperKaramba Theme How To??

i am glad it works (albeit partially)

for the fans just locate the lines containing cpu fan and chassis fan and change whatever it grep'd for with fan1, fan2, etc; if that doesn't work then just copy the line for Core0 and replace Core0 with fan1, etc.; just make sure to preserve the original coordinates (x,y)

now, should you wish to further tweak your theme this may be helpful.

Re: SuperKaramba Theme How To??

Hello Musta

I used this line

ext x=100 y=140 sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'fan1:' | awk '{print $3}'" interval=3000 align=left color=255,255,0

The output on the theme is "RPM" not a number like 2536.

Any suggestion??

Thanks for the help again.

go with:

text x=100 y=140 sensor=program program="sensors | grep 'fan1:' | awk '{print $2}'" interval=3000 align=left color=255,255,0
