lm_sensors installed but this is the only output of the sensors command..

Is there a way to monitor the temperature of my processor? I am running SLACKWARE 10 on a dell inspiron 2650... please help.. thanks!


this are the modules loaded..

# lsmod | grep i2c
i2c-dev 4096 0
i2c-proc 6548 0 [eeprom]
i2c-i801 4760 0
i2c-core 15044 0 [i2c-dev eeprom i2c-proc i2c-i801]

#

Try modprobing i2c-sensor. Also, if you're using acpi instead of apm, you should also have "processor", "fan" and "thermal" as modules (unless you compiled them into the kernel).

hmmmmm.. i tried but there is no i2c-sensor module

hmmmmmmmmm

you need to install i2c (http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/download.html)

You have both lm_sensors and i2c installed so maybe you haven't configured them correctly. As root run this command:
#sensors-detect
And follow the instructions that it will give to you.

If this doesn't work is because you need specific drivers for your hardware. Check instructions in the page that santas gave to add new modules.

Maybe updating lm_sensors solve the problem, but be aware, some versions are incompatible, check that out.

type lspci -vv to see what hardware you have.

i already did that sensors-detect as root and followed all instructions before i post this thread..
this is the output of lspci -vv

the i2c and lm_sensors that i have are the latest versions..

What is the output of sensors-detect?

i followed this.. but im still getting the same output when doing sensors...

http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/...rs2/QUICKSTART

What is the content of your lm_sensor config file?
(mine is in /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors in rh9)

Follow this thread, it helped me a lot dealing with lmsensor
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=189742

ok thanks.. ill try that..
