ianw1974 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I'm wanting to use superkaramba, as it looks rather nice, and I wanted to monitor various stuff on my computer. It mostly works fine, except the temperature values aren't shown. I tried gkrellm, and this shows them perfectly fine, so I know that lm_sensors is configured correctly. However, I can't even choose the "configure" option within superkaramba because it's greyed out. I tried running as root, and it's still greyed out here also. When I double-click the temperature icon, it reports vcore information, so I'm wondering if this is the problem, but I don't know what to change to get it to work. Is there any particular reason why superkaramba won't do this? Do I have to edit something somewhere? I'm only fussed about it, because the fan broke on the PSU, and I only realised by an electrical smell in the air, and checked the computer to find the PSU was pretty damn hot!!! I just want to make sure the rest of the system doesn't overheat :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Does anybody have any ideas on this by any chance?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) Which widget are you using? (edit if you are using an aero widget non work for me...) Edited June 2, 2006 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I believe the widget is tmon_liquid, or at least this is what I have selected in Superkaramba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) I dont have it in my list, Superkaramba, you have a link? Edited June 2, 2006 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Not sure what you mean, it's in the default superkaramba installed with: urpmi superkaramba I've not downloaded anything additional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I guess the widgets available in superkaramba itself change (there appear to be 3 catagories: most dl'ed; highest rated; latest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I'll get a screen shot when I'm next on my machine and post it here, so you can see what I got in the list. I'm pretty sure I've seen this theme before when I used superkaramba in previous Mandrake versions. Not sure why yours seems to be missing this one though. I normally right click and close the widget, then right click the Superkaramba by the clock and restore to get the list of widgets to activate, and it's right down the bottom.

iphitus Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 get a new PSU. if that PSU blows, it could fry your system. The fan is there for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I did get a new psu, I just wanted to monitor in case something stops working in the future. Hence the need to use superkaramba. I prefer this to gkrellm, but it doesn't show the temp values. I've attached screenshot, so you can see the tmon_liquid in the menu that I have selected, as well as the lack of temp values in superkaramba.

ffi Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Okay, i needed to click default and I got a whole load of widgets, I also downloaded all superkaramba-themes from urpmi, I don´t get ltmon_liquid, I do however get sys_mon but that doesnt show the temp either (ie it should be there but isn´t). I guess I have no idea, maybe superkaramba is still a bit buggy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I did check the theme to make sure the values were what it was supposed to be reading from lm_sensors, and they did match up. So no idea why. Gkrellm does do the trick, but it won't minimise and disappear from the task bar within KDE. Unless I missed the option. Ah well :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
