Leitura dos sensores do computador em Linux

Introduction
Most computers these days come with a myriad of sensors to monitor the temperature of your computer. These sensors are generally located on the processor and the motherboard, and you might also have sensors on your video card. On top of that, all S.M.A.R.T-enabled hard drives have built-in temperature monitoring.

The temperature of your computer is a vital thing to keep track of - heat and computers don't mix very well. Unfortunately, Ubuntu doesn't setup your computer's sensors automatically; but you can follow these steps to enable the temperature sensors in your computer in Ubuntu, or any other version of Linux. While sensor-monitoring is somewhat hardware dependant, this guide will work for most users. It involves heavy use of the command-line, but don't worry - I will walk you through it step-by-step.

1. Installing the sensor libraries

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
sudo apt-get install hddtemp

Escolher Yes para tudo.

2. Running sensors-detect

sudo sensors-detect

Answer "YES" to all questions! Don't just hit enter, type "YES", because at the end there will be a question for which the default answer is "no", and we'll want to answer in the affirmative.

3. Loading the modules

sudo modprobe [module name]

substituir o [module name] pelo o nome dos modulos que aparecem

4. Monitoring the sensors!

sensors

sudo apt-get install sensors-applet


to install the applet. Now, add the applet by right-clicking on your desktop panel, selecting "Add to Panel," and you will now see a "Hardware Sensors Monitor" applet in the System & Hardware section. Click and drag this to your panel to add it.

The applet will now say that you haven't enabled any sensors; right click on the applet and open its preferences.
