lm-sensors misbehaviour

When I run sensors command, I get only 2 sensors:

[rok@rok-laptop ~]$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +41.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1:       +41.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

However, there are more listed in my /sys/ directory:

[rok@rok-laptop ~]$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp
71000
53000
49000
49000
27000
45000

How is it possible that sensors-detect is not picking up those?

If you haven't done this already, try

# sensors-detect

and see if lm-sensors' output changes.

Sorry, I was tired and didn't properly register the last sentence.

I am by no means an expert on lm-sensors, but I'll try my best...

Could you please post the output of

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/type

and

cat /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.*/hwmon/hwmon*/temp*input

The latter should show the same number of sensors as the sensors command.

Here it is. Thank you.

[rok@rok-laptop ~]$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/type
acpitz
acpitz
acpitz
acpitz
acpitz
acpitz
[rok@rok-laptop ~]$ cat /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.*/hwmon/hwmon*/temp*input
52000
51000

Any idea?

Well, only this: the 'acpitz' named (virtual?) sensors won't show up in lm-sensors. As far as I know this is no bug but rather expected behaviour. acpi should show them if called with the '-t' option.

Is there any specific reason why you want them to show up when calling 'sensors'? A script, conky, ...?

i have the same problem.
before i could use lm-sensors to see also the acpitz temperature, and now there's not acpitz whan i launch sensors.
So in the sensors applet i see only the libsensors temperature.
I try on the same pc to run an ubuntu 14.04 live and the command sensors show also the acpitz temperature.
