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: Select all
#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
)

Tried that... no different.

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

Thanks for 0.04 and Happy New Year.
Works fine with ICEWM and 528 k 3.1.0

Should work fine in Racy as I did some testing in Saluki, also Lupu. Deps are identical in CPUtemp as is to tempicon. (Incidentally, I hacked out the flame tray icon code for CPUtemp in genie).

Ah, good to know
.
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.

Glad it works in Linux 3.X kernels. Thanks.

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...

I've been sitting on this for awhile..
new svg based tempicon remove older versions first!!!

Excellent. Much easier to read thanks.

Hello Mick
Working OK in Slacko-531 (with Compiz + Lxpanel)
I installed
lm_sensors-3.1.2 via the PPM then installed the
tempicon-0.05.pet
Running the command:
sensors-detect
revealed:
Code: Select all
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... Success!
(driver `k10temp')
but modprobing the module
k10temp failed.
A quick 'google' lead me to these:
with which i was able to build the
k10temp module.
I put it in:
/lib/modules/2.6.37.6/kernel/drivers/hwmon/
ran
depmod
then
modprobe k10temp
rebooted and there it was in the system tray of lxpanel.
Nice one mate.

Minor update v-0.06 -see main post
Thanks CatDude, 06 fixes the version number. Yeah, 2.6.37.6 has k8temp which works with my X2 and nvidia board, I thought it would work for most, wrong I guess! Can you post your module please? I'll whack it in PPM.
Also, pemasu, it *should* install cleanly into woof now, I'll test tonight when I do a build. I left a message on your thread but I now realise it was doomed to fail!

Does it work with Wary 500?

I have made a generic tool to do this using symlinks:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76431
you should be able to adjust your backend to only update a single file and the binary is smaller too.
edit: and here is an awk example that I used to generate the svg for my cpu
Code: Select all
#!/bin/ash
awk '{BG = "#00FF00"
if ($2 > 65) BG = "#FFFF00"
if ($2 > 80) BG = "#FF0000"
printf "<svg xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\"> \
<rect width=\"32\" height=\"22\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" \
style=\"font-size:%d;fill:%s;fill-opacity:0.75;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke-width:3pt;\" id=\"rect1\" /> \
<text x=\"0\" y=\"18\" style=\"font-size:%d;font-weight:normal;fill-opacity:0.75;stroke-width:3pt;font-family:helvetica;\" id=\"text1\"> \
<tspan id=\"tspan1\">%d°C</tspan> \

Edit, nope that was just my browser formatting even though html standards told it not to.
the real problem was using the UTF-8 encoded '°' instead of the standard ascii one that I posted ... guess I need to push a tarball to avoid these copy-paste issues (unless maybe you added your own '°' ???)
btw if you ever need an ascii character, I use this a lot to cut/paste from the terminal
Code: Select all
int main() {
char c=127;
while (c-->=-127) {
printf("%d, %c\n",c,c);
}
}
