Install a gnome applet to monitor cpu temp.
Go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
Click Search, and type in sensors-applet, click in the box next to it, and check the appropriate boxes, then make another search for lm-sensors, and check it for installation. Then click Apply
Once this is done, right-click on the panel > Add to panel > add the Hardware Sensors Monitor
Awesome… thanks. Couldn’t remember the name of this applet and found this page via google. Rock on.
I get “no sensors enabled!” Do you have any hints to solve that problem? Thanks.
You need to install the lm-sensors package.
Indeed you do. Thanks for the help MJ.
Installed everythin, but says “No Sensors” detected for my Dell OptiPlex GX280
Ideas ?
yo. had to run
sudo detect-sensors
let it find what modules need loading, and add them to /etc/modules.
it has to do some probing, but that didn’t result in a crash for me.
it offers to add the modules to “/etc/modules” at the end. this is convenient. you can then
sudo modprobe your_module_name_here
for each module, or just reboot.
