help temperature sensors openSUSE 11.4

English Hardware
#1

hello all,

i’ve installed 11.4, selected gnome as desktop, installed the gnome applet for temperature (computertemp) but the applet says “No Thermal Monitor Support”

what is missing?

thanks in advance.

#2

Not sure much but I guess you might need to install the package ‘sensors’ it is in the repo.
This is the one I am using with gkrellm.

#3

Hi
You would also need to run the sensors-detect command as root user to configure.

#4

It might help if you told us whether it’s a desktop pc (what make of motherboard?) or a laptop, and what cpu (make & type) is present?

#5

hello and thanks everyone for the answers.

it’s a laptop, hp pavillion dv5 1220, and the sensors and sensos-detect seems to work. Actually KDE and XFCE was able to show me the temperature. the sensors command too.

i’ve filled a bug, since the problem is the gnome applet provided to show the temperature: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681429

one important note, the provided applet isn’t the same used in the 32 bits version (AFAIK, i might be wrong) :

GNOME Sensors Applet Homepage
Computer Temperature Monitor

and that’s it, on gnome, no cpu temperature yet,

Hi
I’ve fixed the sensors-applet package and will update your bug and SR my
fixes through to the GNOME:Community repository soon. I just have to
sort out the icon cache so it updates after the install.

OK, bug updated, packages should be in the test repo for you to try (see
the bug for details)

Hi
Thanks :slight_smile: :slight_smile: That’s three so far (evolution-data-server and gnome-nettools) for 11.4 that users on the forum here have had problems with, so try to keep them happy :wink:
