hey guys..

how to show CPU / Motherboard temperature on mandriva2009.1 ? Gnome edition.

Thanks !

Motherboard type?

Gnome Sensors should be able to do this.

I would think it's installable the same way on most distros running Gnome via a right mouse click on your panel (toolbar) and select add to panel...although I haven't ran Mandriva in a while to know for sure.

You could also look for desklets that do this at .gnome-look.org.

If you're running KDE, there should be similar methods there and you'd be looking at kde-look.org instead.

oh hi guys thanks for the reply

my motherboard is Asus p5kpl-cm.

i haven't really check into the gnome desklet yet and i've never really boot up mandriva to kde4 either.

At the moment I reboot and quickly hit <del> to check cpu/mobo temp: 62 degree C / 38 degree C respectively.

My biggest fear is how hot should CPU temp go up to; the cpu is Pentium Presler D945 (dual core) which are known for very high temp.

update:

after installing lm-sensors and running sensors-detect, i was able to see the "hardware sensor monitor" on the "add to panel" screen. However it shows "no sensors detected" once i've added it to the taskbar. Oh well

in terminal type sensors, if it gives you realistic voltages and temps use gkremll to display temps in side bar, goog;e gkremll for more info

WOW thank you so kindly sir !! it works !!
