Can't find lm-sensors

English Applications
#1

I am running suse 11 kde 3.5.9. I can’t find lm-sensors in the repos, or with a Webpin search. What repo/package are they in?

#2

Hi
It’s normally installed by default? I think you will find it’s
lm_sensors.


zypper search -s -i sensors

sensors-detect

chkconfig lm_sensors on

I know it was installed by default in 10.3, but no sign of it in 11. I tried to run sensors-detect this morning to set them up. That’s when I noticed they weren’t there. That’s when I thought it may have been wrapped up inside another package, but no luck finding it. Weird.

fastback:/home/shawnr # zypper search -s -i sensors

That done it! I come from a Debian based background, and the packages are a little different in Opensuse. There is a slight learning curve:) Thank you.

I’ve the same problem, i tried the installation but it says that the package is already installed, this is the output:

hawake@RisingStar:~> su -c "zypper in sensors"

Nothing to do.
hawake@RisingStar:~> sensors-detect
bash: sensors-detect: command not found
hawake@RisingStar:~>

What can i do?
Thanks in advance,

Bye

Hi
You need to be root user, try;


sudo /usr/sbin/sensors-detect

Ok. So, what app do you use to read/report the sensor output?

#9

Hi
From the cli run the command sensors. I use gkrellm, with gkrelltop and
gkx86info plugins along with hddtemp, it also integrates with Nvidia
for temp monitoring.

If you are using KDE, you might find kima (applet) useful for such purposes.

#11

I add the sensors into a superkaramba system status display script, and also on a ksysguard worksheet.

#12

I cant view my sensors anymore, somewhere on the text boot screen, it says something like “starting sensors failed” on red letters, i was able to view them before using some xfce tool

#13

just got them working, somehow, “sensors” package got installed and “lm_sensors” was uninstalled.
