sjaglin Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) Hi there, I installed 2007 using the one version and after installing lm_sensors I get the following message : [stephane@localhost ~]$ sensors Can't access procfs/sysfs file Unable to find i2c bus information; For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and libsensors was compiled with sysfs support! For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'! [stephane@localhost ~]$ [stephane@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.17-5mdvlegacy [stephane@localhost ~]$ I have attached a file with description of my modules. lm_sensors works well on my partition where 2006 is installed so not a hardware problem, I a m stuck ! Thanx for your help! Stef :o Edited November 1, 2006 by sjaglin@yahoo.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Did you go through the sensors setup, as root, on your 2007 install? sensors-detect If so, try running the command again. Possibly something changed??? Just a guess of course. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaglin Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hi, Thanks for the answer. Yes I did do it under "root" and it all seemed ok, he did succesfully detect my sensors but then nothing! Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 question: why the legacy kernel? it's possible that this kernel doesn't have the proper modules to support lm_sensors, you may want to go with a regular kernel instead of the legacy...just the first thing that popped into my head. and, as far as i can tell, your system isn't a legacy system :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaglin Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 question: why the legacy kernel? Well I don t know why the legacy kernel, it is the one that 2007 has installed for me by default! The strange thing as well is whatever I do it installs the 32bits version instead of the 64bits! Anyway, I ve put the 2.6.17-5mdv as well as the source and it actually did solve some of my problems (thanx for that) but I still can't make lm_sensors work!

RVDowning Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I was also using 2.6.17-5mdv and lm-sensors and had no problem. I just installed the rpms for lm-sensors and gkrellm using urpmi and then ran sensors-detect. The only problem I had was the flooding into my logs of temperature out of range errors. I had to go into the config file and turn off those messages. I had to go back to Mandriva 2006 because my web cams don't work with 2007. So, I have 2006 and 2007 set up as dual boot. I'm using lm-sensors with gkrellm on both systems without any problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaglin Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi There ! Few months down the line I have solved most of my issues with 2007 But, the main one is still there : I can t manage to make lm_sensors work on it.... My kernel is : 2.6.17-8mdv and my version of lm_sensors is : sensors version 2.10.0 with libsensors version 2.10.0 (obtained by doing sensors -v). I am quite stuck now, so I try to revive the thread... I attached a file with the main important info I did get whilst doing sensors-detect into a .txt file. I suppose my question is : how do I find out if my mobo's sensors are supported by the current kernel, baring in mind that they are detected correctly under mdv 2006. I don t really what to do next , so any contribution will be appriciated! Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaglin Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I am afraid I still have this problem, is there any other program (which does not use lm_sensors) to monitor my PC? Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Are you using KDE ???. If so then try installing Ksensors. It won't fix your problem if there really is a problem but it may help make it a little easier to help solve the problem since it is a gui for lmsensors. Not everyone can solve all their problems with the cli. :D :D :D Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaglin Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi John, Yeah, I ve tried that and it shows no sensors! I m not integrist of the CLI, it just can t be helped now and again. I use gkrelm and it shows all but temps and fan speed. I use hddtemp for the hard drives temp and that works.
