sensors

I had my CPU overheat during the middle of the night. I checked the seating of the CPU fan, turned the computer on and every thing seemed OK.

When I ran the sensors command it showed the temp for all cores and I was OK but the CPU fan showed 0 RPM. I was looking for some special means to check just the fan and came upon lm_sensors and installed the tgz package. lm_sensors doesn't show up as a command than can be run and it also knocked out my sensors command. It's in /usr/bin and it's executable but I'm getting and 'no such file or directory' when I try to run the file. Any ideas on how to maked the sensors command work again. It's a great tool.

I'm stuck.

Thanks.

Any chance that you might have installed the package for the wrong $ARCH? The "no such file or directory" is a typical error when a 64-bit package is installed on 32-bit (or vice versa), and stems from the binary being unable to find the libraries that it needs.

as far as I know the 'sensors' command is one of lm_sensors commands. lm-sensors is the apps name loaded with commands, like 'sensors' 'sensors-detect' then that generates a sensors.conf etc...

if you got it figured out, then you might be able to set it up to have a outside script, perhaps, check your fan speed at a given time interval, and if it is zero, check temps and if out of limits then log it, then shut down your system, or whatever.

This is possible since I downloaded the file and didn't notice if it was 64 bit. How would I get the sensors command back? Can it be easily found on the installation DVD?

Maybe this [assuming you're on 14.2 - if not, here]?

The first thing you need to do is remove the 32 bit package. THEN install the right package.

Thanks. I tried that but it didn't work. I did find a lm_sensors for 64 bit as Patrick suggested. It worked. Thanks to all that replied.

How do I mark this as solved?

You gave him the link to the source tarball, not the Slackware package. This is the 64-bit lm_sensors package for Slackware64-14.2.

I'm confused why he didn't already have lm_sensors on the system?
Code:
Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (yes/NO): yes
Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/init.d/lm_sensors
for initialization at boot time.
You should now start the lm_sensors service to load the required
kernel modules.

He probably did have it installed originally but didn't realize it, and then he mistakenly installed the 32-bit package on top of the existing one.
