Need some linux help

[lessell]

Well summer time is nearing today our high will be 85. Could someone with some linux skill give me some instructions on how to install some temperature monitoring for my linux systems. I thought I remembered shad using lmsensors but search as I might I can't find it. I am not well versed in linux so if you could make it as simple as possible. Many thanks

I don't have any Linux skills, but I was able to follow this guide quite easily.

Thank you that was what I was looking for.

Thank you that was what I was looking for.

That works with some assumptions.

You are using KDE (if not you will need to find another monitoring tool as Ksysguard isn't built in to gnome)

Your Kernel has support for your motherboard built in.

They work fairly well for day to day monitoring, but fall short for overclocking as for now at least there is no Linux equivalent of the win "core temp" software, which reads directly from the cpu sensor, or sensors, in dual and quadcore Cpu's,
The E6600 in my Dfi 975 mobo reports 42c under Linux sensors running 2 x prime, coretemp reads 53/54c for both cores under the same load, so it would be easy to exceed the overclocking guide of "don't go over 65c for 24/7" under Linux.

Ps, the latest version of Kubuntu has "ksensors", a pretty front end for Lm sensors.

Not completely true; there seems to be Monitoring at hand for Linux systems ...

even 32- and 64-bit is supported ... (although RedHat and SuseLinux Enterprise only ... )

On the other hand, Suse Linux 10 64-bit has support !

The on-die temperature sensor is a Kernel config option for AMD K8 CPUs. Even if you don't have a GUI frontend installed, once you have lm_sensors installed and configured, you can type 'sensors' in a terminal window and get the following:
