Figured Out How To Read Temps In Fedora
Hey guys I figured out how to finally read my cpu temps in linux... Here are some links in case anyone wants to do this as well.
1) DL GKrellM then unzip to your desktop.
2) Open a terminal-
a) Application
b) Accessories
c) Terminal
3) Type yum install gkrellm (this will do all the work for you)
4) Then you need 2 more files
a) i2c-2.10.0 then unzip to your desktop
b) lm_sensors-2.10.0 then unzip to your desktop
5) Now configure your sensors
a) open terminal
b) type sudo /usr/sbin/sensors-detect (I just said yes to everything but had a problem on next boot and dont know if it was from the yum update I did) What I would do is say yes to them all and if it gives a problem on next boot just hit any key when the Fedora screen comes up. If it shows 2 Fedora installs choose the second one. But, I think this was me not the sensor config.
6) With a fresh reboot open another terminal and just type gkrellm and it will run. I have not figured out how to keep the prog running without the terminal open but for now just minimize it.
7) Configre your sensors by right clicking on the top of gkrellm.
a) Choose configuration
b) Click on builtins (arrow on left opens the drop down)
c) Click sensors
d) Click the arrow next to temps and choose all three check boxes and click ok.
You should see your cpu, system and mobo temps now in the GKrellM program. If anyone needs any help just post or pm me. But, know I am a huge Linux n00b:rofl:
Here is a pic of my desktop so you can kinda see my GKrellM config.

Linux needs some xtra stuff for sensors
I'm Guessing Gkrellm works like Ksensors in that it uses lm sensors to get the info. Your kernel needs to have support for lm_sensors in it and / or the appropo modules installed. Just remember that that fancy display will lower your bench when it is on :rolleyes:
/Edit just brought the description up under Suse and :hm:
Vedy intevesting!
With a single process, GKrellM manages multiple stacked monitors and supports applying themes to match the monitors appearance to your window manager, Gtk, or any other theme. SMP CPU, Disk, Proc, and active net interface monitors with LEDs.
Internet monitor that displays current and charts historical port hits.
Memory and swap space usage meters and a system uptime monitor.
File system meters show capacity and free space and can mount and umount.
A mailbox monitor that can launch a mail reader and fetch remote mail.
Clock, calendar, and hostname display.
APM laptop battery monitor.
CPU and motherboard temperature display if lm_sensors modules are installed.
Multiple monitors managed by a single process to reduce system load.
PPP on and off button that can execute your PPP scripts.
Charts are autoscaling with configurable grid line resolution.
Separate colors for "in" and "out" data. The in color is used for CPU user time, disk read, forks, and net receive data. The out color is used for CPU sys time, disk write, load, and net transmit data.
A different theme can be created with the GIMP.
There is a very good reason for this
The driver scripts build the MODULE (from kernel sources) that the Kernel needs for the video driver to be used :fact:
(I just found this out because I finally loaded the ATI drivers in suse 10.1 and went through this, along w/ the fact I had read about this stuff whilst playing w/ gentoo :D )
