[SOLVED] 2.6.37 acpi/thermal_zone

Wittfella · 2011-01-09 02:48:53

Hey, trying 2.6.37 and the only thing I noticed is the cpu temp in conky went to 0.

Looking in /proc/acpi there is no thermal_zone anymore.

This is an eeepc 900ha. Does anyone know of any changes with this?

Do you have something in /sys/class/hwmon?

If not you may have to load the coretemp kernel module manually. If i recall correctly the /proc/ entries might by slowly deprecated in favour of /sys/class/.

The same thing happened to me. I was using acpitemp in .conkyrc. Switching to hwmon fixed it.

Thanks! That sorted it.

Replaced: $acpitemp
with: ${hwmon 0 temp 1}

I also had this problem when I updated today. The new ${hwmon 0 temp 1} worked for like 3 or 4 conky refreshes and then it became 0 again. I'm not using the testing repo. Anyone having the same problem?

Edit: '$ acpi -t' still reports the current temp correctly.

Kernel 2.6.37 is already in [core].

Did you check what the actual values under /sys/class/hwmon are when conky stops displaying?

Yes, as I said I don't use the testing repo.

Yes, they are correct. I can see 63000 there and acpi -t reports 63.0 Celsius degrees while conky still reports 0.

Then you are probably experiencing a conky issue, this thread is about the acpi issue itself. I would advise to test a little with conky, if the issue persists you can open a separate thread for that.

Okay. I'll experiment a little further with conky and open a new thread when I find out something. Thanks for the fast replies.
