Hi
One busy system.... If you add hddtemp it will add your hard disk
temperatures, I also use gkrelltop and glx86info (one line compile with
gcc) and copy to the plugins directory. Hmm maybe I need to make rpms
for them...

where did you get the temperature plasmoid from? I've been looking for a while to replace the one I use but can't find anything I like

Not sure if I got it from the repos or from kde-look.org

I have never had much luck with the hddtemp it never seems to report the
right one, also at the moment this mobo is a hybrid, the board is an AM2+
and is supposed to support the phenom X3 CPU but does not, even with the
latest BIOS.

I have been in communication with the Manufacturers for the last month
trying to get it sorted ( Gigabyte who have been absolutely great but no
luck, must admit it has been a breath of fresh air to deal with the support
guys there, did not even bat an eye when I said that I had been doing the
monitoring from linux ) with no luck so the reading are not 100% accurate.

I have a brand new AM3 board here ready and waiting for this chip but I need
new DDR3 mem and I cannot get hold of the ones I want till probably the end
of next week*

So have not got it all setup yet will wait for new toy when it is built.

Then when the new toy is built I shall drop my old AMD64 X2 back in this one
and use it for something else and save up for a Phenom X4 black edition for
some serious tweaking and a fresh install of milestone 3 or later :-)


*cash flow, going away for a few days and the real killer=SWMBO :-)

Hi
Have you edited the hddtemp /etc/sysconfig/hddtemp file? eg

# Put at least the disk(s) you want to monitor here.
# default is /dev/sda
DEVICE="/dev/sd[a-c]"

I redid hddtemp beta and it's in my home repository as it defaults
to /dev/sda

I will give it a go when I have the new machine setup as this board has only
got 4 sata + 2 IDE ( nothing on the IDE ) but the new board has 6 SATA + 2E-
SATA and so the config will be completely different.

Not even sure how I will configure the drives yet, might leave them separate
or might raid the ones I have laying around.

hmmm, so I'll have to wait until kde4.3 is released to get it as currently kde4.2.4 offers a ****ty looking one and I'm too lazy to upgrade to 4.3

the temperature plasmoid changes with whatever plasma theme you use so it isn't your 4.2 it is just the theme your using that probably makes it ugly lol

Not here. I tried a bunch of different themes and it's always the same. I currently use Oxyglass so this is definitely kde4.2 related
