Skip the appropriate ones!ĭo you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above willĬontain too many modules. To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules: * Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9) Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Using driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel Cougar Point (PCH)ĭo you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively):
Reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause troubleĭo you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): This is the most risky part, and while it works Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290. Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290. ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports. Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'. Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'. This is usually safe.ĭo you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. (YES/no):ĪMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors. Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.ĭo you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. It is generally safeĪnd recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, To load to use lm_sensors most effectively. This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need Simply press Enter key to accept the default answers. On the first run, you should configure which stats you want to collect with Psensor.I go with default answers. Once installed, run the application by looking for it in the Unity Dash.
If everything seems alright, proceed with the installation of Psensor by using the command below: sudo apt install psensor To make sure that it works, run the command below: sensors Then start the detection of your hardware sensors: sudo sensors-detect To install these tools, run the following command in a terminal: sudo apt install lm-sensors hddtemp If you want to measure hard disk temperature, you need to install hddtemp as well. Install Psensor on Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04īefore you install Psensor, you need to install and configure lm-sensors, a command-line utility for hardware monitoring. It can even send a desktop notification when the temperature exceeds the limit. You can choose to display the temperature right in the top panel itself. The latest version of Psensor also provides an applet indicator for Ubuntu and thus it makes the monitoring of hardware temperature even easier on Ubuntu. monitor the temperature of the hard disk drives.monitor the temperature of the NVidia GPUs.monitor the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors.We’re going to use a GUI tool, Psensor, that allows you to monitor hardware temperature on Linux.
That was easy, wasn’t it? Let’s see how to do it graphically.Ĭheck CPU temparature with Psensor GUI tool You can see the CPU temperatures refreshed for each core every two seconds: Every 2,0s: sensors If your distribution doesn’t have sensors command installed already, you can use your distributions’ package manager to install either sensors or lm-sensors package. Combine it with the watch command to keep on monitoring the CPU temperature in the terminal like this: watch -n 2 sensors You can check the CPU temperature using a command line utility called sensors. Check CPU temperature in Linux command line In this article, we’ll learn how to check the CPU temperature on Ubuntu.
Monitoring hardware temperature may help you diagnose why your laptop is getting overheated. Overheating of laptops is a common issue one faces these days.
