Hello,
I'm using a debian woody mixed system (have stable, testing and unstable packages
installed). My kernel version is 2.4.18-k7 (stable). The machine is an AMD Athlon
XP 2000+ with ASUS A7V8X motherboard.
First of all, I'd like to know if it is actually possible to monitor the CPU temperature and Fan speed and voltage on my computer.
yes it is. I do it: http://esquipulas.homeunix.com/index.php?p=59
This is a 2.6.9 system so i2c is in the kernel, it uses the -dev package to access the sensor data, and Qt to show it, placed in a wharf with fvwm.
I have an ABIT KT7A mobo, older than yours, with an 850MHz Athlon, also older than yours.
I thought about using Gkrellm with lm_sensors. However, I had some problems installing lm_sensors and i2c. Firt, I downloaded the latest unstable lm-sensors package, the lm-sensors-source and i2c-source packages through apt-get. Then I tried to build lm_sensors and i2c modules using module-assistant following the docs instructions. It all went fine, except that after running the command:
# module-assistant build lm-sensors-source
In the end of the process I've got the following message:
# Done! Run # m-a install lm-sensors-source # to install.
and right below:
# Done with /usr/src/lm-sensors-source-2.4.18-k7_1:2.7.0-13+2.4.18-5_i386.deb .
I've tried to run m-a install lm-sensors-source but it shows an error message saying that the package was not built succesfully. However, the deb package that was supposed to be created is there. So I installed the deb package with dpkg -i without any problems.
The exact same thing happened when building i2c-source.
So I tried to run sensors-detect. It detected a few things and loaded a few modules. I followed all the instructions given. But after rebooting, the modules were loaded but no info came out from the sensors command except a module name
let's stick with sensors for a second, what exactly does it say?
and Gkrellm didn't detect any sensor. Why is that? Did I make a mistake in some
point or lm_sensors does not support the sensors in the A7V8X motherboard?
Please help me!
