Hi everyone, Im having a hard time enabling the thermal sensors for my conky. I get only a cpu sensor which uses this script.
${color #888888}CPUTEMP:${color #CCCCCC} ${acpitemp}C
I've already installed lm-sensors and hddtemp.
What's the command for enabling them?
And by the way, the script above doesn't even move or rises...It stucks on 4O C...And I assume that this is a System Temp not the cpu temp..Correct me if I'm wrong.;)
All help would be appreciated... Thanks...all

Dunno about that specific one (acpitemp gives me nothing), but do you have anything in /sys/bus/platform/devices? Like:
coretemp.0 coretemp.1 i8042 iTCO_wdt it87.656 pcspkr serial8250 vesafb.0
it87.656 has:
alarms fan4_input in2_min in6_input pwm2 temp2_max
bus fan4_min in3_alarm in6_max pwm2_enable temp2_min
cpu0_vid hwmon:hwmon0 in3_input in6_min pwm2_freq temp2_type
driver in0_alarm in3_max in7_alarm pwm3 temp3_alarm
fan1_alarm in0_input in3_min in7_input pwm3_enable temp3_input
fan1_input in0_max in4_alarm in7_max pwm3_freq temp3_max
fan1_min in0_min in4_input in7_min subsystem temp3_min
fan2_alarm in1_alarm in4_max in8_input temp1_alarm temp3_type
fan2_input in1_input in4_min modalias temp1_input uevent
fan2_min in1_max in5_alarm name temp1_max vrm
fan3_alarm in1_min in5_input power temp1_min
fan3_input in2_alarm in5_max pwm1 temp1_type
fan3_min in2_input in5_min pwm1_enable temp2_alarm
fan4_alarm in2_max in6_alarm pwm1_freq temp2_input
My ambient temp reading, and root HDD are gotten with:
${platform it87.656 temp 2}, ${hddtemp sda}
The exact names may vary.
DE panel plugins may be helpful in figuring out which exactly is which. FI, I got a bunch of temps showing w/ XFCE's sensors plugin, then loaded my PC for awhile, to get what was what (except CPU and HDD). Quicker and easier than using conky or sensors for figuring them out.

I've finally configured my lm-sensor, here is my output:
[kaola@localhost ~]$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: MAXTOR STM3160215AS: 43°C
[kaola@localhost ~]$ sensors

VCore 2: +3.18 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
+3.3V: +0.00 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) ALARM

+12V: +12.16 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +16.32 V)
-12V: -27.36 V (min = -27.36 V, max = +3.93 V) ALARM

fan1: 2766 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8)
fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8)
fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8)
M/B Temp: +45.0°C (low = -1.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = thermal diode
CPU Temp: +43.0°C (low = -1.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = transistor
Temp3: +76.0°C (low = -1.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = transistor
cpu0_vid: +1.388 V
I'm currently using KSensors to show me the CPU and M/B temps...
Now all I need to do is to put these things on my conkyrc...
Please tell me how to do so...:)
Thanks in advance...

The HDD temp aught to work with just what I posted in my first reply.
For the others...do you see that it87 device (it8712-isa-290) listed in /sys/bus/platform/devices? If so, you'll want to use its name. Mine is it87.656. That didn't match up with the config I started from for my conky--the digits after it87 were different. Your temperatures reported are all different enough, just try getting that name, and enumerating them until you have them, until you see them all (being wary of 'stuck' dummy sensors that aren't shown by the sensors command).
1: ${platform it87.656 temp 1}
2: ${platform it87.656 temp 2}
3: ${platform it87.656 temp 3}
etc.
But, yours may be it87.734, or something else like that.
