found alternative to lm-sensors


FYI.

I found in gnome an alternative to xsensors (lm-sensors): sensors-applet (available via synaptic on Ubuntu). Lm-sensors not work in my laptop.

The fan of my laptop seems the motor of an airplane!

Sensors-applet is cool:

Quote:
Is an applet for the GNOME Panel to display readings from hardware sensors, including CPU temperature, fan speeds and voltage readings.

Alarms can be set for each sensor to notify the user once a certain high or
low value has been reached, and can be configured to execute a given command
at given repeated intervals.

As I understand it, sensors-applet uses lm-sensors as the backend from which it reads values. It's just a different way of displaying them, but it's nice to know there are several GUIs for it.
