Conky: cpu temperature

omgpro · 2005-09-18 01:37:07

A little while ago while I was configuring conky, I saw a couple ways to display the cpu temp, but none of them I tried worked. it would always output 0. I have a cheap ASRock mobo (K7S41GX) with an SiS chipset running an athlon xp 2400. any help to get it to work would be appreciated.

Well, acpi should work for you I would guess - are you loading the acpi modules?

omgpro · 2005-09-18 14:02:33

hmm....i tried modprobe acpi and i got

FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.13-archck1/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device

lm_sensors maybe

jftaylor21 · 2005-09-18 18:44:08

I never could get conky to work right myself. After many fruitless attempts, I ended up using ksensors instead.

If you type "sensors" at a terminal, does that display the temperature and everything else right?

omgpro · 2005-09-18 18:54:56

i just installed lm_sensors, typed sensors into a terminal and it said "No sensors found!"

jftaylor21 · 2005-09-18 18:56:59

Theres a wiki on how to properly setup lm_sensors here:

Gullible Jones · 2005-09-18 23:10:55

I have lm_sensors installed and working, and conky and torsmo still don't seem to be able to give me a temperature reading - something about not being able to find the right stuff in /sys. I'm guessing that they might be looking in the wrong directories.

(Well, lm_sensors is sort of working... Says I have a 128 MB and a 512 MB RAM chip instead of the actual 256 and 128. :? )

lanrat · 2005-09-18 23:25:54

Maybe you should try editing /etc/sensors.conf?

For me conky shows the same as sensors.
This is my current config for conky:

I know it looks scary but it's all in one line at the bottom of the screen.

And for sensors the output is:

but when i try to load conky using an i2c thing it says

Conky: can't open '/sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0050/temp2_input': No such file or directory
please fix i2c or remove it from Conky

ghostwalker · 2005-09-19 03:33:11

omgpro, Try not loading eeprom and restart.

Mr Green · 2005-09-19 06:55:17

Yes the eeprom modules may not work for all ....

Please read Conky thread

page 20 I think ;-)

you're looking for thermal info and trying to probe a "cpufreq" module? :shock:

check to see if /proc/acpi/thermal_info/THRM/ is empty (I may have the ladt 2 dirs backwards). If it is, try seeing "acpi=on apm=off" on your kernel boot line. Most of the time acpi should trump lm_sensors.

you can also pacman "acpi" so you can get raw info from the command line via "acpi -Vf" (for me)

omgpro · 2005-09-19 19:00:10

ok, i turned off eeprom and it works now

it's showing about 33º, which is about normal right?
