Great post!
In Ubuntu 8.04, the coretemp kernel module may not be loaded by default. Thus one needs to configure to load by default.
In addition, to get the disk temperature showing, one needs to install hddtemp as well (and configure as service).

Hello,
it doesn’t appear on my “Add to panel”, even though it is installed. :(
