lm-sensors works well for this. Once you ran sensors-detect you can use lots of different tools to view the fan rpm/core temps etc. (KSensors, gkrelm, SuperKaramba and pretty much any monitoring plugin, etc etc).
Thanks for this. I'll now try these lm-sensors thing. (I rather miss the Motherboard Monitor I used in Windows to do this.)
A little extra info to get you started with monitoring.... Once you've installed lm-sensors (it's on the SUSE disks) su to root, and run sensors-detect. This will ask you a whack of questions and scan your hardware for various chipsets and monitoring hardware. It will end with a list of modules you can load into the kernel and ask if you want to add it to your system initialization. Once it's installed/configured you can run it from the command line as $USER by typing sensors. This will give you a single dump of the various things it can monitor... voltages, fan speeds, temperatures etc., and their current values. If you want a GUI based output of this, you have more choices than you can shake a proverbial stick at. I like SuperKaramba and the Cyanpses plugin. http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ssuperkaramba.html http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=11405 Some people prefer gkrellm: http://members.dslextreme.com/users/billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html Both gkrellm and SuperKaramba are on the SUSE disks, and the pluins for SuperKaramba can be downloaded/installed/managed within SuperKaramba once it's started I think the Gnome Desklets also can show info from sensors... but I haven't tinkered that much with them yet. Of course... there are dozens more tools that will show you the output from sensors... pick the one that feels right to you :-) C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
