Curious about the temperature of your CPU while you are overworking it? With computer-temp GNOME applet, you can easily monitor temperature of each component of your computer with the help of Linux kernel built-in hardware sensor.
Computer Temperature Applet is available from Ubuntu repository, and be added by right clicking GNOME Panel and selecting “Add to Panel…” option from the context menu.
I dont have it on add to panel… Debian Gnome 2.30.2, where is problem???
This is not just for Ubuntu, but for most distros…but thanks anyways.
Hello,
it doesn’t appear on my “Add to panel”, even though it is installed. :(
Thank for the extra tips Simos, I greatly appreciated it
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).
