ok, i have lm_sensors and gkrellm installed. apparently, gkrellm is supposed to be able to monitor CPU temps, which is something that i really need to be able to do in linux. well, i couldn't figure out a way to do it in the configuration or on the UI on gkrellm. i went to the website for info and saw an image of gkrellm nicely displaying cpu temps. it told me i needed lm_sensors for this option to be enable, so i checked to make sure i had it, reinstalled it even (with gnorpm) and i can't figure out how to get it to display my cpu temps...it does everything else but!

thanks for the help

have you run sensors-detect yet, after running that you will be prompted to make changes to 2 differnt config files...

After that you just tell gkrellm on which sensor box to display the CPU temp...

Gkrellm did it automatically for me, once lm_sensors was set up right. Make sure lm_sensors works right, then the re4st will fall into place.

but how do i set it up right? i downlloaded the lm_sensors RPM and installed it with no problems, and i don't know what to do now. sorry for my pseudo-n00biness

run sensors-detect...

at the command line type ---> sensors <--- and then press tab.
That will bring up a list of scripts/programs that start with sensors.

Find the one that says sensors-detect or sensors_detect or something like that. Run it. Answer its questions, modify the conf files it tells you to, and then you are up and ruinning...

thanks, i'll give that a try right now

well, that didn't work, but i'm sure there's something i'm not doing right.

EDIT: i found the sensors-detect file, but after i probed and tried to install the devices and configure things, it kept saying that loading the modules failed...grrrrr
