ffrr Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Just built a new machine, and put Mandrake 10.1 on it. Is there a program I can run/install to monitor the CPU temperature, fan speeds etc..... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Install lm-sensors (http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/) with urpmi lm-sensors and run the setup script sensors-detect (open a console, login as root and type: sensors-detect. Follow the instructions.) With a program like ksensors (or countless superkaramba themes) you can now check CPU temp, fan speed etcetc. To control fan speed you need acpi. Install both acpi packages (can't remember the exact names), go to the Mandrake Control Center, system, services and make sure both acpi services are running. Now go to the kde control center to adjust what you want to adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest water_cooling_man Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 i use lm_sensors with gkrellm. i love it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Jon, I'm running Mandrake 10.1 Official and Gkrellm 2.2.2. I've installed the lm_monitors package using Rpmdrake. However, I still cannot configure Gkrellm to show temperatures when I go to the Sensors configuration tab of Gkrellm. I have a line item for Temperatures, but when I highlight it, the Enable feature is not active. What do I need to do to get Gkrellm to display my temps? Thanks!

adamw Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Run sensors-detect to determine which modules you need to load for lm_sensors to actually get readings, then add those modules to /etc/modprobe.preload . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaschtroumpf Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 yes, gkrellm will not show anything it it can't read the output of the sensors command (or it's empty), so make sure you sensors are set up properly (i.e. do you get results when you type sensors at the command line).
