I'am using LXDE and I'am trying to use the temperature monitor applet in LXPanel.
Still hoping glacial period will end here (still about 0°C, snow outside) running a passivly cooled system temperatur monitoring will become elementary.
Searched the hole web but couldn't find a solution, documentation or a helping hint.
lm_sensors is installed + reinstalled and the service is enabled.

temp2: +33.5°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = CPU diode
temp3: +33.5°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = CPU diode
But the temperatur monitor applet in LXPanel just says '-273' or 'NA'
Here is what I've tried:
Reinstalled lm-sensors and did sensors detect...
In the temperature monitor settings dialog I unchecked automatic selection and put in
Input -> Output in LXPanel temperature monitor
automatic selection -> -273
w83627thf-isa-0290 -> NA
w83627thf-isa-0290/temp1 -> NA
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp2_input -> NA
coretemp does not work with temperatur monitor either.
I've read that this applet is looking for temperatures in a file at depricated /proc/acpi/thermal_zone.
So I've tried to:
ln -s /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp2_input /proc/acpi/thermal_zone
but all I get is: 'No such file or directory' *confused*
/proc/acpi exists - but it is not possible to link or create anything in this directory (or in /proc)- even as root and/or chmod 777!
Any idea how to get this applet working or is it just dead freight?

I wouldn't blame the applet just yet... what are your cpu/drivers/modules? It's very possible that there is some errata with your sensors.
"hyst = -128.0°C" doesn't look valid to me. But then again, I don't know much about thermistors.
I've read that this applet is looking for temperatures in a file at depricated /proc/acpi/thermal_zone.
Even if it does, it's not the only place. That location doesn't exist for me, and the applet is fine on my system.
Linking anything in /proc or /sys isn't something for the user to do, even as root.
I can get the proper variable from: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input.
For me, the applet finds it in: /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp (hovering mouse over applet).
The raw value is 55000 for 55C.
lm_sensors doesn't run the show, it just tends to query the right places. Usually somewhere in sysfs.
That should've been apparent with 'sensors-detect'
