i hava the same problem. there is a thing called gkrellm. i downloaded the rpms from http://freshrpms.net and installed them. there is section called sensors, but it doesn't work. i can't select anything. someone told me, that i have to recomiple my kernel. if anyone has done it before, feel free to help us.
i have amd on msi kt7 turbo 6330 via133a

Install lm sensors but read the site documentation before you try cuz you need to install i2c too.

there is no need for lm_sensors with RH. maybe same with Slack!!!! install gkrellm with plugins and run sensors-detect. it will give you some lines you have to add into rc.sysconfig and modules.conf. i2c modules are built in allready.

This is what I did on my Gentoo 1.4 rc 2 to use lm_sensors in gkrellm.

1) recompile the kernel with i2c support (Character devices -> i2c support -> .. build all that stuff as modules). For RH 8.0 you don't need to recompile the kernel since i2c support is already build as module. No idea for Slackware.

2) make a directory called 'sysconfig' in /etc -> 'mkdir /etc/sysconfig'. This directory is already there for RH.

3) run 'sensors-detect' and press enter to every questions.

4) load the modules : '/etc/init.d/lm_sensors start'. On RH that must be 'service lm_sensors start' .. or is that for MDK ?

5) Start it at boot time : 'rc-update add lm_sensors default'. I think that is put in /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc5.d by default on RH.. not sure.

6) OPen gkrellm and configure the plugin now. Or in a console type 'sensors'

there was no need for lm_sensors in my RH.

Hi

That was installed by default then. Because on MDK 9 and Gentoo 1.4rc2 we have to install it first, then detect the sensors and finally configure gkrellm.

Ok, I'm a super noob to linux (see even my name says so). I've seen this post about running sensors-detect. I'm running Mandrake 10.0 community, and I have no clue what sensors-detect is or how I would 'run' it. Can anyone help me? I am trying to get gkrellm to work on my system. Same problem as the guys above, nothing comes up for the sensors. Thanks for any help.
