Setting up sensors

[gregbzh]

Could somebody please help me to configure lm-sensors so that I can read my cpu temperatures etc. lm-sensors is installed however sudo detect-sensors tells me that no sensors exist. I know they do as I'm able to use speedfan in XP and get 4 readings from that.

I also have superkaramba installed, but likewise no temperature readings are made.

I'd appreciate any help as it's getting bloody hot here and I'd like to keep an eye on my system temperatures (without having to boot windows).

Cheers.

Re: Setting up sensors

Heh - this worked in the breezy. But not in the dapper.

In breezy you just:
1) Install lm-sensors
(utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors)

Note
I installed also ksensors.
(lm-sensors frontend for KDE)

2) sudo sensors-detect

says that:

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules:

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers

and so on...

3) So i added lines

4) Reboot

In the dapper:

sudo sensors-detect
No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them.

Here is HOW TO: Install and configure lm-sensors

You have to make (copy) mkdev.sh. Execute it (sudo sh mkdev.sh). After that sudo sensors-detect works.
