Speaking of Sensors?
Hey group, I have seen several mention being able to watch their cpu temperature, voltages, etc. off the motherboard. Well, I know I can do that within the BIOS of the computer, but are there some programs or commands to run that will let me see those things after booting to KDE?

Install sensors.rpm. Configure with sensors-detect and follow the instructions on-screen. If your chipset is supported, and the modules load successfully, you should get a new tab in ksysguard 'Hardware sensors' next time you start it. You can also use gkrellm by adding (going by memory here. read the docs for more accurate info) cpu and mb in the sensors tab to show cpu and motherboard temperature respectively. //Anders

I followed the instructions of sensors-detect and everything worked out fine. When I open ksysguard now, I don't get a new tab, but I can add the "Hardware sensors"-stuff on the "System Load"-tab. But I got a little confused here... I got three values SYS_Temp (system temp, I guess), CPU_Temp (CPU temp, I'd say) and SBr_Temp (now what's that?)... And the readings are somewhat strange... it tells me my CPU_Temp is 27.3 and the SYS_Temp is 58.3 (I'd think that should be the other way around). Could anybody tell me what SBr_Temp is? And how I could get the names right? Johannes -- Powered by SuSE 7.3 - KDE 2.2.1 - KMail 1.3.1 Version Info: Linux 2.4.10-4GB

You can switch the labels around in /etc/sensors.conf, IIRC. My MB at home reports a CPU temperature of -57degC. I have a feeling that my /etc/sensors.conf is a bit off. Not that I'm worried. -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com

Most probably you can also look at the temperatures in your Cmos setup. That is what I did. It gave me the temperatures for cpu and motherboard. I checked in sensors and found the corresponding values (more or less) In sensors.conf you can add following in the part of your sensor type: label SBr_Temp "xxx" whereby xxx is mb or cpu. At the same place you can also name your fan(s) or disable it to show up. I had two fans which are not connected so I disabled the readings. After the changes, don't forget to enter sensors -s before using sensors again.

but the BIOS only shows two readings... that's why I initially asked... but you mentioning the mobo as a possible origin gives me an idea: I got three values (at about 23, 27 and 57), CPU is 57 for sure and then 27 might be the mobo and 23 the system (meaning the inner temperature of the case)... I guess I could do with that... :) thanx for your input... Johannes -- Powered by SuSE 7.3 - KDE 2.2.1 - KMail 1.3.1 Version Info: Linux 2.4.10-4GB
