I know this has been covered here before, but I can't find it in the
archives (I can never find anything in those damn archives!). How
does one set up lm_sensors, once installed?

First, not all motherboards support hardware monitoring. If you see
temps, voltages, etc. in bios the board does. If you don't it most
likely doesn't. If it does, then run (as root) 'sensors-detect'
You'll go thru a list of questions, in most all cases just hit <Enter>,
eg, take the default answer to all of 'em. The script will then
generate a few lines and tell you which to put in /etc/modules.conf
or at the very end of rc.local. Back in sensors-detect there's one more
question, write a config file? Say yes, and you're done. Then run
rc.local, eg, '/etc/rc.d/rc.local'. Then typing 'sensors' as root or
user should display your voltages, fan speeds and temps.

Tom,
I downloaded lm_sensors-2.6.4-4mdk.i586.rpm,
It wanted CD2 , I gave it, but still it reported ,
libpng12.so.0<>=s is needed by lm_sensors-2.6.4-4mdk.i586.rpm,
with no clue as to where to find it.

Do you think it's worth chasing this dependency or is it not much
hope.

John

John if you go to rpmfind.net and type the libpng12.so.0 in the find box, it will give you the actual rpm that that file is in. You can download the file or see if it is on you CDs and install. HTH

Well I did that but yet again I get
libpng3 <>=s1.2.1-6mdk is needed by libpng3-devel-1.2.1-6mdk

I checked the install discs previously and all libpng rpm's listed are installed
except for something on CD1 /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/mdkinst/lib/libpng.so.3
which is not an rpm file and seems to be something to aid the mandrake installer.

This is turning into a chase my tail job. I think I will leave it.

John
