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.

Installed everythin, but says “No Sensors” detected for my Dell OptiPlex GX280

Ideas ?

You need to install the lm-sensors package.

I get “no sensors enabled!” Do you have any hints to solve that problem? Thanks.

Awesome… thanks. Couldn’t remember the name of this applet and found this page via google. Rock on.
