conky not displaying temps anymore

rokkon · 2007-08-07 14:48:20

since a recent pacman upgrade (including kernel 2.6.22) conky stopped displaying temperatues. i used to read them via an i2c device, which isnt in /sys/bus/i2c anymore. actually there a no i2c devices at all right now. feature or bug? please help

What about /sys/bus/platform? https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-5 … 0e54598bc8
For an easy way to get conky to display the temps, what about having it grab output from lm_sensors?

thanks for the post.
/sys/bus/platform doesnt seem to work without patching. i will check to grab temps from lm_sensors.

I can't seem to read from the device module either, but there were a few more paths in /sys that looked promising if things have been switched around and you want to have a gander.
lm_sensors is working great with conky here, but you'll need to format the output a tad to get the desired look.
Here's the relevant line from my .conkyrc if it's any help (the parameters and options will need to be changed unless you're running a CoreDuo)
${color red} CPU Temps(C): $color ${execi 6 /usr/bin/sensors | grep Core | paste -s | cut -c15-16,19-20,71-72}

cheers,

hey thanks again, grabbing from lm_sensors works. i think i can live with that

Hello,

I am trying to get Conky to display CPU, Motherboard, and whatever other temps that it can from lm_sensors as well. I am completely lost on how to go about it though.

It would seem that k8temp does not work with Conky? Or atleast I haven't been able to find anyway that would make it do so.

I see this mentioned here:

${color red} CPU Temps(C): $color ${execi 6 /usr/bin/sensors | grep Core | paste -s | cut -c15-16,19-20,71-72}

but I really don't understand what it is doing or how to make it work.

This is my 'sensors' readout:

k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:  +49.0°C                                    
Core1 Temp:  +57.0°C                                    

k8temp-pci-00cb
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:  +39.0°C                                    
Core1 Temp:  +47.0°C                                    

it8716-isa-0d00
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore:       +1.47 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)   
VDDR:        +1.49 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)   
+3.3V:       +3.31 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)   
+5V:         +6.85 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +6.85 V)   ALARM
+12V:       +11.90 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max = +16.32 V)   
in5:         +3.68 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)   
in6:         +4.08 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)   ALARM
5VSB:        +6.85 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +6.85 V)   ALARM
VBat:        +3.10 V
fan1:          0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)
fan2:          0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)
temp1:       +33.0°C  (low  =  -1.0°C, high = +127.0°C)  sensor = transistor
temp2:      +127.0°C  (low  =  -1.0°C, high = +127.0°C)  sensor = thermal diode
temp3:      +127.0°C  (low  =  -1.0°C, high = +127.0°C)  sensor = transistor
cpu0_vid:   +1.400 V

I would like to have the temp for all four cores displayed seperately. I was hoping to get my Motherboard and Video Card to display as well, but those may be entirely different.

Could anyone give me some advice on how to go about this please? Or is there an easier way altogether? I have tried 'acpitemp' but it doesn't seem to work. '${acpitempf}' gives a readout of 32, which doesn't seem relevant at all and just acpitemp, without the 'f', reads 0.

On a seperate note, are the three ALARM's listed in my sensors readout something to worry about? My CPU's seem to run plenty hot as well......

Anyhow, thanks for any help.

For the temperatures, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 85#p326085 might provide enough help.

Regarding the ALARMs, if the sensor output is correct and your +5V is outputting 6.85V you should worry about your power supply frying your components. But step one would be to check what the voltages show up as in BIOS.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I checked in BIOS and the 5v was 5.042v. Still over, but not as bad. That is a huge difference from the sensor readout though, wonder why that is?

So that being the case, it's still over, so I wonder what I should do about it?

[vEX] · 2008-08-06 10:05:38

I wouldn't worry about it, but if it bothers you then you should look at the lmsensors config used for your chipset. It probably have some mathematical equation that is wrong for your motherboard. I haven't really looked into it that much so I'm afraid I can't help you with that, you're probably better off to check the documentation.

Well it doesn't really bother me so I don't think that I'll worry about it. Good to know it shouldn't burn anything up now.

Thanks.
