Yup... modprobe coretemp activates it

Just a quick question, don't waste any serious thought on it, but is 2.6.25.16 likely to be missing coretemp.ko?? Cos I get this:
Code: | # modprobe coretemp
FATAL: Error inserting coretemp (/lib/modules/2.6.25.16/kernel/drivers/hwmon/coretemp.ko): No such device |

Nah, the module is there, study your output . It's just your board doesn't use coretemp. What board/chip you got? Anyway, you can find your module with "sensors-detect".
I am trying to implement an automagic solution so the user needn't bother loading modules, but it's tricky. Should be ok though.

Happy New Year Mick. OK, .03 is not so good. Every boot, it flashes up the 'run sensors-detect' dialogue and the tray icon does not display. I go through the detection process, and at the end dismiss the terminal and dialogue, but the tray icon does not appear till I re-start X. I have to do this full process at each boot.

Happy New Year to you too Dave.
Can you try this. Comment lines 112, 113, 114, 115 in /usr/sbin/tempicon.sh and reboot. Don't run sensors-detect, a module should have loaded but it seems on the first loop your temperature isn't recorded.
Lines should then look like this after commenting: Code: | #VALUE=`cat /tmp/tempicon/count`
#if [ ! $VALUE ];then xmessage -c -bg pink "ERROR: Your module doesn't work. Run \"sensors-detect\""
# exit
#fi |
Cheers, (I'll be back in a couple of hours )

Dave, I found the bug. I had to confiscate sonny's compaq lappy, it didn't load coretemp either, but sensors was still returning 0 (not an error) so my logic fell down there, Even if the logic was right it would have failed (typo ). I also fixed another bug with a var not being exported if all modules in the loop array failed to load.
Curious that coretemp doesn't load by default on these things. Does on my IBM, and eee.
EDIT: hmmm... this has got me thinking.. I wonder if the "lm_sensors" dependency can be completely removed.. methinks at this stage "probably". I would also like to rewrite the entire app in C.. see what happens

yup... 04 'just works' Not only is this a very nice little app, but it also eliminates the difficulty of getting a coretemp display in fbpanel I guess.

Thanks for feedback Dave
Works in slackware-13.37/kde4 (small mods, no ash shell, change shebang to bash in text2xpm and a link to ~/.kde/Autostart/tempicon.sh )

I THINK it works in Racy too. Least, it does in mine, but I had CPUTemp working too, and cant remember whether I had to add any deps that may also be being used by tempicon.

Dear Mick,
Happy New Year and thanks for this utility. As I have already lost a motherboard/cpu to overheating, I have a need for this, all the more that my cpu tends to collect matted cat hair and needs periodic cleaning and a fresh application of thermal paste! I installed your sensors pet - since it was missing from my lucid - and then ran your prog. Works like a charm. And it will save me money.
With kind regards,
vovchik

Deps are identical in CPUtemp as is to tempicon. (Incidentally, I hacked out the flame tray icon code for CPUtemp in genie).

Part of the motivation behind this was that in early December I was compiling seamonkey-2.5 and my machine would suddenly switch off. This happened twice, it was hot weather conditions. I decided to monitor CPU temperature and it turned out this was the culprit. Lucky for me my board has an automatic cutoff at 95 C. I throttled back the CPU (it's an Athlon X2 running stock at 3GHz) to 2.3GHz and the problem seemed cured. Funnily enough, on a new save file (same OS, Slacko-5.3-k2.6.39.4-PAE) I could not reproduce this so I attributed the overheating to some app I installed misbehaving. Anyway, I didn't want that to happen again so I ended up writing "tempicon". That was also the motivation behind the different colours, even with poor eysight you can easily see the change from green to yellow to red.

Tempicon plays fine in dpup exprimo with 3.1 kernel also. It has inbuild lmsensors so the tempicon pet was the only I needed. Thanks of this nice tray app. Though I perspirated quite a lot when I compiled Qt-4.8.0 quad core at full speed and I got 96 c as temperature. Sometimes it is better not to know....lol...
