Conky and hwmon


I recently switched from Arch to Debian (for stability since Arch is equivelant to Debian Unstable). My .conkyrc script worked perfectly in Arch with the lm_sensors package, however, in Debian, lm-sensors won't detect my CPU temperatures.

I have an Intel i7 Q740 (quad-core with four virtual cores) running - all 8 cores are detected for monitoring, but not temperature.

Does anybody have any ideas? Here is the part of my conky script (that worked in Arch) that doesn't work in Debian (I stripped out all the formatting so it would make more sense without so much work):

Code:
Temperatures
GPU: ${hwmon 0 temp 1}
Core0:${hwmon 1 temp 1}c        Core1:${hwmon 2 temp 1}c
Core2:${hwmon 3 temp 1}c        Core3:${hwmon 4 temp 1}c
FYI, I did run sensors-detect and tried to get it to detect everything. The only thing recognized is acpitz.

Holy crap that was it! I ran the sensors-detect wizard, then modprobe coretemp and it worked!

Thanks!

For the record, if there is anybody else using this post, he did make a typo. What he meant instead of coteremp was this:

Code:
modprobe coretemp
