Demon Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) Hi people! What a lovely community here!!! I have slight problem, I hope someone will help me. I tried searching this board but haven't found anything simillar. Ok, here we go: I'm running Mandriva 2007.0 with KDE 3.5.4. My proccesor is Intel Prescott 2.4 GHz. The problem is that I can't find any program that can monitor my CPU temperature. I have KTemperature that would suit me well, but it only displays number 60 (or sometimes NA) in system panel. I read somewhere that I need to set KTemperature to point to "/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature", but my "thermal_zone" folder is empty. What's the problem? Do I need to recompile my kernel, or something? I appreciate all help. P.S. LOL, what a crazy smileys!!!!

Greg2 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) The problem is that I can't find any program that can monitor my CPU temperature. Using your gui package manager or urpmi, install lm-sensors and gkrellm 'or' ksensors. Then as root run sensors-detect then open gkrellm or ksensors and set it up the way you want.

Demon Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Thank you very much!!! Still remains the question about the KTemperature, but I wont use it since the ksensors have everything that I need, and more! Once again, thank you Greg2!

Greg2 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 It depends on your motherboard, BIOS, and acpi support in the Linux kernel your using. You can check to see if the thermal module is loaded with (as root) lsmod |grep thermal if it's loaded do acpi -V for your temps.
