Nothing installed seemed to be motherboard temp monitoring, so I opened YaST2, and searched for sensors. It found ksensors available from packman, and showed mbmon & xmbmon from guru already installed. I tried to run xmbmon from Konsole, but had reported no hardware monitor found. I tried to install ksensors, but YaST2 reports missing dep libsensors.so.3, which software.opensuse.org/search can't find either.
Anyone know how to find out mobo temps in 10.2?
Install package 'sensors' and 'gkrellm' using YaST from: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/ sensors-2.10.1-5.i586.rpm gkrellm-2.2.9-23.i586.rpm
Turns out distribution/10.2/repo/oss was set in YaST to off status. Dunno why or when, but maybe I did that because there was something in alternate repos I wanted without waiting the usual eternity for refresh prior to being able to do anything.
Once you set up basic drivers with 'sensors-detect' (as root) you can use from console, as root or normal user: sensors Check 'man sensors' for details.
I guess sensors-detect is a lot less smart than it tries to make you believe.
From command line I tried just sensors, and saw good voltages except for the most important - CPU - and nothing but zeros for temps and fan speeds.
Eventually I got to the bottom of sensors.conf, which linked me indirectly to my motherboard at http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Configurations/Abit/AI7 Problem now is I can't tell from reading there if I'm supposed to replace my existing sensors.conf file with the one there, or append that content to my existing file, or replace or append to /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors. I tried replacing sensors with it, and get +4.08 for all voltages, and 0 for all other. lsmod shows eeprom, w83627hf & hwmon. As usual, lack of illustrative examples in the man pages make them virtually useless to me. I looked through /lib/modules for *abit* and found nothing, so don't know what to try next.
You have more choices for GUI frontend. My is gkrellm.
I installed ksensors, which so far seems useless. -- "Love is not easily angered. Love does not demand its own way." 1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
