gots my linux running and folding now help me with a few thinks plz.

1. a CPU-Z like program
2. everest or core temp something that will let me see my temps.
3. how do i check my CPU load?

 

[WarriorII]

System/Admin/ System Monitor = for cpu loads.

Do a search for Fahmon in Linux, Shelnutt2 did a write up about it some where in here.

CPUid ? yeah, sure. lolz not. (as far as I know)

 

[JamesXP]

top in the command line to see your cpu usage

 

[Jason Kitchens]

Read all of this post before you do anything option 2 might be easier.....

2. everest or core temp something that will let me see my temps.

lm-sensors. If you're using ubuntu, goto system. then administration, synaptic package manager and search for lm-sensors. click the empty box, select mark for installation, then the big apply button. Might tell you it needs additional packages just agree usually. might have to click another "ok" button. Then after it installs open a terminal, and type sudo sensors give your pswrd and it should (if everything worked correctly a temp reading for at least the cpu.

OR!!!! right click on the top menu bar, add to panel, and look for hardware sensors monitor. that will give you readouts on the menu bar. BUT!!! I think this option will only show up after you install lm-sensors but you might give it a try before you install lm-sensors to check that.....

Here is a sticky in the Alternative OS forum you should look at:

Also lm-sensors can show the temps in linux, however they have never reported my AM2 3600+ temps correctly in Debian.

 

[JamesXP]

Yeah you need the AMDK8 temp module to get the temps from the CPU with lm-sensors

 

[VinnyTAMU]

Yep and them temps still arn't right after AMD K8 modules I see only about 7-9 degrees C.

its not working.,

also im not loading the CPU up at 100% only bout 50%

 

[hank123]

hank123@hank123:~$ sensors-detect
You need to be root to run this script.
hank123@hank123:~$

what the heck is that?

 

[hank123]

also the speed of the CPU keeps jumping. i got it running at 3.6 now but only loaded to 77% thats running the FAH 2 times

 

[Jason Kitchens]

try sudo sensors-detect Any time you need to be root, which is the super admin user, place sudo in front of the command. At least in ubuntu. other distros use su which is Swicht User, etc etc...

 

[Jason Kitchens]

its not working.,

What is it doing or not doing?

also im not loading the CPU up at 100% only bout 50%

is this on the quad?

 

[hank123]

yes on the q6600 i have to run to FAH to get full load. i tried adj the bar in system resor. got full load now. just crap numbers

 

[benbaked]

To see your cpuinfo (sort of like CPU-Z) open up a terminal window and type the following:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

 

[hank123]

ok the sudo thinkg worked what next?

 

[Jason Kitchens]

which sudo command?

 

[hank123]

ok I give up. to much for me right now.

 

[hank123]

sudo sensors-detect had to go through a bunch of steps. got it done. i give up dude

 

[Jason Kitchens]

Lol... it can be a pain sometimes. Especially the temp stuff. Did you get anything at all?

 

[dfonda]

lm sensors are real tricky to get working.

With the CPU usage... do you have all power saving(where the cpu steps down to save electricity) features off in your BIOS?
