The CPU Frequency Scaling Tool is a separate program from CPUtemp. You can't configure one from the other.
CPUtemp is not guaranteed to find a temperature reading on all machines. |
Sir, you are dealing with a dummy when it comes to this stuff.
If I enter modprobe coretemp from command line, results are
# modprobe coretemp
FATAL: Error inserting coretemp (/lib/modules/2.6.33.2/kernel/drivers/hwmon/coretemp.ko): No such device
/root
I checked /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/kernel/drivers/hwmon and coretemp.ko is already there.
Is this what you are looking for?
bios shows temperatures as listed in my first post
When I click the flamnig icon in tray i get

From the sound of things, neither CPUtemp nor CPU Frequency Scaling Tool are going to work on this machine.

Thanks for all your help. Appears this machine is like me- too old to cut the mustard anymore

OK, here is a little strange. Using Slacko beta. Hardinfo/sensors shows no information. Installed CPUtemp which works perfectly. Checking shows my machine uses coretemp. Hardinfo/sensors shows info BUT on re-boot hardinfo/sensors is again blank. Click the systray CPUtemp icon and the temp info is displayed as expected. Re-check hardinfo, and display is again populated.
Conclusion: I need to click on the systray icon for CPUtemp to activate output in hardinfo/sensors. Why?

That's how the coretemp module gets loaded.

Ok. I also notice that when I close the CPUtemp information GUI with the OK button, it closes as expected, but when I close it with the window 'x' button, it closes as expected but then pops up the help dialog (using Openbox, not tried JWM).
Edit: same with JWM.

Thanks. That's fixable. Open /usr/local/bin/CPUtemp in a text editor and change Line 51 to
Code: | [ "$EXIT" = "OK" -o "$EXIT" = "abort" ] && exit |

Works nicely; scaling even works. Curious what this is reading, though, since this intel processor (dell laptop--bios from 1994) has no sensors, although a thermal monitor is listed the hardware description. I can't get any info using dstat --thermal script (complains there's no kernel ACPI support. Pwidgets doesn't work either (I think it looks for /proc/eee )
edit: I see...it reads /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp.

I've started a new thread for my personal problem
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=73658
text like this
Quote: | neither Snow Puppy 5 and Slacko5.3 with CPUtemp installed can show
temp now it only display eeepc-isa-000
But it show Thrm tem as 52 and that started the fan at a low repm. |
I had tested puppeee44 and unfortunately had a unclean shut down
and after that CPUtemp stopped working. it did not help reinstall it either.
I guess I can boot with pfix=ram if I knew how to do that in asus eeepc 900 it fail to stop when I use isolinux boot. I guess I have to rename the savefile to something else so it boot fresh maybe that restore the
default settings of the thermometer sensors?
I have renamed the save file now so it failed to load it while booting
nope that did not help it get the reading of cupu temp back
setting up will take a while so I have to go to bed now.
hope that somebody want to help me with this thing.
any idea welcome. but I have to go to bed now.
seems odd that the sensors can go broken after I hit some button on the software set up. Would it help to start up xandros once more maybe

Thanks a lot for the pet =)
It is very useful for me, so i need to check temp with some process.
Is it possibel to get CPUtemp that check temperatures every 3,4 seconds? It could be great.
Dont know why in my laptop (Dell inspiron1501), hardinfo just display temp of one core. Any idea how to solve it?
Also check Harddisk(samsung hm08011) temp is good, and no idea how to get here... in win Everest app can do it.

could it be possible to be alerted whem temperature is too high ?
Hello everybody.
I have and old computer with cooling not operating. Would it be possible that there is a flash alert on my desktop when i must stop using the computer , the more often when my cd player works.
Merci.

I installed the pet and it didn't display a temp, so I followed the help to run sensors-detect and got the following result:
Code: | Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `w83627hf':
* ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `Winbond W83697HF/F/HG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
|
So do I go to /usr/local/bin/CPUtemp and edit line 5? What exactly do I put there?
