In Gkrellm, you can adjust parameters for the readings. For example, I had to set some readings to half, because they were being doubled. You'll probably have to do this (up or down) as well.

Ok, so I installed the rpm, and lo and behold, my mobo is finally supported.

Many years ago, when fdds and hdds were much less reliable, I was recommended to test for hysteresis, which was defined to me as even-ness of spin, lack of wobble, I guess. I was told that the most common cause of fdds failing to read previously written files was that hysteresis had slipped. Now here we are, with the same word in a very different context!

Once you find the ones that can detect your hardware, make sure their sections under /etc/sensors.cfg are correct, then make sure that /etc/sysconfig/sensors will load them. You might also doublecheck that /etc/init.d/sensorsd is looking for the right sysconfig file -- there were buggy versions that looked for /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors, not sure if it's fixed in the package. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...

[expert] lm_sensors and i2c devices
I am trying to get lm_sensors up and running on my machine. Running sensors-detect, I have scratched on the number of detected devices, and found that the cause is /dev/i2c has no device files. I don't understand what package installs them on Mandrake 9.0. Has anyone gotten through this problem, and can help me with waht package needs to be installed? I am running 2.4.19-16mdk.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe SUCCESS!! ;o)
Simon, Great news! I'd like to take full credit, but I only solved it thanks to Richard (Linux-Phased), the Mandrake Soft expert who went beyond the call of duty for three weeks helping me get it working. He sent me the sensors-detect version that worked. I too, have not been able to get the system fan to show up, but don't care too much, as I can see the cpu temps and fan speed, and the voltages. I still don't know why sensors-detect didn't list those modules for you. It's a real mystery. Anyway, glad I could be of some help.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
Flacycads, chees mate. I'm at work so I cant try this, but I never got this line ever... modprobe via686a from doing sensors-detect. I did have a sensors section in gkrellm, but not any more, since I tried to get clever and remove all the relevant modules and reinstall them. Now I get zip about temps. Yes I definitely have lm_sensors instaled, sensors-detect and sensors both exist. I just cant seem to get it to work - your determination to help me get this working is _much_ appreciated mate!!! As for the stuff that should go in rc.local that isn't there, well thats the thing, thats what sensors-detect is telling me to put there - nothing, zip, null. I've literally copied the output from the terminal. I promise I'm as stumped as you over this one. What I intend to do this evening is whack your suggested lines on my box - I'll try them first to see if it goes bang ;o) - then reboot and have another go. I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
bascule is correct- I neglected to mention that little detail. However, I'm more concerned that his sensors-detect apparently isn't listing the required modules for his board, so that's why I suggested just using mine for the KT7, as I know for a fact they do work, and on a fresh install all you need to do is copy them in. I'm determined to help get Simon's sensors working, as I haven't forgotten how frustrating it was for me, and how the Mandrake Soft expert spent 3 weeks helping me figure it out. Let's not give up on this. Simon- when you enter the gkrellm config panel, and click on builtins, is there a listing for sensors?

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
Simon, As you posted, your sensors detect output does not list the needed modules for /etc/rc.local. They aren't there. I quote: #cut here > > > # I2C adapter drivers > > > # I2C chip drivers > > > #cut here On many a fresh install of Mandrake 9.0 on the KT7-RAID, all I've had to do is add the lines to the /etc files, as shown below. This is the "definitive " list that works on this board. It is what sensor-detect comes up with when run on the KT7 board. You don't even have to run sensors detect- just put these lines into the /etc files. (maybe your sensors-detect is corrupted, or the wrong version?? If need be, I can email you the sensors-detect I used the first time I got this to work) For /etc/rc.local: # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-viapro modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe adm1021 modprobe eeprom modprobe via686a - For /etc/modules: # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev --- Then after a shutdown/reboot, open gkrellm and the readouts will now include the cpu/chassis temp, and fan speed readouts. Contrary to what's commonly believed, I have found you sometimes need to shut down and reboot linux when performing some prodedures, to completely flush out the Ram of everything. If you don't, sometimes things simply will not work. While far better than windows, linux is still not perfect in this respect. You then press F1 to open the gkrellm config panel, go to builtins-sensors and make your fine-tuning of the offsets so as to match the bios readings, if you need to. That's all there is to it. If it isn't working on a generic 9.0 install, you are doing something wrong, like not saving the edited /etc files (as root), or your lm_sensors package is somehow corrupted. If I'm not mistaken, the I2c stuff is compiled into the Mandrake kernel. The only other thing I can think of is that if you did a custom install, you somehow removed an obscure lm_sensors dependency. But this is very unlikely, and I don't know what that would be. Another idea: Go into Mandrake Control Center, Software Managment, Software Package Removal, alphabetical listings, and see if you really have lm_sensors 2.6.4-4mdk installed. If not, install it. If so, remove it, and shut down the machine. After reboot, reinstall the lm_sensors package, and try again.

I'm afraid I've tried that, and still no joy. lsmod shows everything loaded that should be according to the results of sensors-detect and yet I get no temps. I just tried rmmod'ing all the listed modules and starting again. With a different outcome. I get a slightly different list of stuff to add (an extra module and line of code for modules.conf) and now when I run sensors I get absolutely no reference to temperatures at all, just the memory.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
Chuck is correct- when you run sensors detect, do the ISA. Your generated lines should wind up looking something like this (these are from my KX7-333- yours will be different, but same format): For /etc/modules: # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev --- For /etc/rc.local: # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-viapro # modprobe unknown adapter Velleman K8000 using Bit-shift algorithm modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom modprobe w83781d - All you should have to do is put them into the files, and save. Then, go into gkrellm and configure sensors.

No luck here chaps, followed the instructions, pasted stuff (u don't seem to need to paste into rc.local, the sensors daemon is already running?)

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
yes, but it was a bit buggy -- I had to rename some stuff for it to work. I also have one system that will spike the CPU to 100% the first time that sensors accesses the modules. I stuck a job in cron.hourly which restarts sensorsd if the CPU is at 100%. Every now and then I rip CDs on that box and start getting emails from cron :-) On Thu, 2003-01-23 at 13:21, bascule wrote: > i seem to remember that although i needed to put the entries in > /etc/modules.conf i didn't need to add anything to any of the rc scripts, i > think one of them sources /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors which is written by the > sensors-detect prog > > bascule > > p.s. going to see if my bios reports temps now - cheers > > On Thursday 23 Jan 2003 5:49 pm, flacycads wrote: > > > > On the KT7, you need to run sensors-detect, and answer the prompts.

All I know is I had to edit the rc.local file too, as that's what sensors detect instructed. I'm certainly no expert, but I did have a long detailed back and forth with "linux-phased" at the Mandrake Expert help when I got the 8.2 Power-Pack last year regarding this lm_sensors subject.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
I've done this before, on the KT7-Raid. To answer the gigabyte question, It's virtually certain that: temp2 41.5= CPU temps temp3 26.0= Chassis Don't know what the others are on that board. You need to reboot, and look in the bios pc health section to check what the temps really are. If they are close to what you get on lm-sensors, then you know what's going on. - On the KT7, you need to run sensors-detect, and answer the prompts. Then cut/paste or somehow copy the little sections it detects and lists into /etc/rc.local, and /etc/modules.conf (of course file/save after editing). Then, Sensors will show up in gkrellm config, and you can fine tune temps to match what your bios actually reports them as. If you have problems, I can send you the correct sections for the KT7-raid.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
Bascule, you probably dont want a question in answer to yours, but I never quite managed to get lm_sensors working. I have an abit KT7-RAID board (via c100 chipset) and followed the setup procedure without a problem, but never got any temps showing up just memory usage. Any ideas where I might be going wrong?? Afraid I have no idea what th temp is, its not fahrenheit is it? - totally daft idea but there you go.

Hoyt, I did the same thing with my ASUS Mobo... after all the instructions from sensors-detect, was to put the following in some rc file and rc.local is an rc file. So far no trouble, and as I see it since rc.local doesn't rerun every time you change run level, less chance of a conflict or other problem.

Is lm_sensors broken in 8.2? Have tried both to compile and install rpm version 2.6.2-4mdk all to no avail. Installed the needed liblm-sensors too when I tried to compile got more errors than carter has pills so I won't include them unless you need them. I had trouble in 8.0 in getting the right packages, and it's probably the same here. any help would be appreciated.

I take it you mean the lm_utils package? If so, now run 'sensors-detect'. All default answers to the questions should work, and the program will generate a few lines to add to rc.local and modules.conf.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors and KT7 RAID
FWIW, I also posted details of setting up lm_sensors & gkrellm. It doesn't seem to have shown up yet though. This seems to be the worst list I've ever participated in as far as implementation & responsiveness (responsiveness of the system, not the participants!) Anyway, I finally got my fan speed working in gkrellm. Took longer then it should have because I didn't realize it alternated between cpu temp & fan speed. If I had watched it for a little longer... My fan speed was way off though. It read about 1100 for a Volcano II which thermaltake says is a 4500 RPM fan. The temps are good, so I assume that the fan speed is nominal. So I bumped up the multiplier to read 4500. Any idea how to validate the temperature reading though? Mine is in the expected range. I guess that's good enough. As for KHealthcare. I've had no luck compiling or with rpms. I sent an e-mail to the developer, but got no response. That either means he's hard at work on it, or doesn't care.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors and KT7 RAID
Here is how I did it: - Install the RedHat 7.1 lm_sensors package: lm_sensors-2.5.5-3 - run sensors-detect. I'm pretty sure I just accepted all the defaults here. It will ask you to modify your modules.conf & and init script. - Install the gkrellm package from the second install CD - launch gkrelllm - right-click on the gkrellm frame and go into configure - expand the builtins tree and click on sensors. If lm_sensors isn't installed properly, you won't see a sensors menu item. - On my board I enter 'cpu' in the space next to the line "via-686a-isa-6000/temp1" and 'mb' in the space next to the line "via-686a-isa-6000/temp2" There is more detail in the man page. My fan stuff isn't working yet, but I noticed today that it doesn't show up in the bios either. So there may be something wrong with my fan or MB :-( It is a 3 wire lead on the fan. I'd really like to get KHealthcare working though. It can shutdown your system if your temps or fan speeds get out of bounds. Important for AMD chips!

Uhm, I think you might be answering the wrong question. Those sound like instructions for booting off of an onboard RAID controller. The question is about lm_sensors. Agree on the quality of the onboard RAID controllers though, I don't have the RAID version of the Iwill board. I got a 3ware card instead. It smokes :-)
