That would be nice to have, the default temp sensor in xfce is just shows you the temp on the taskbar in green numbers. I don't think it even changes to yellow or red depending on temp like an lxde one does for me on another machine, so its pretty lame. But I just look and see if they thing goes to 50c I think something is wrong. It idles at 25c. I have a desktop pc laptops run much hotter. If you looking for something to give a popup or play a sound I'm not sure if lm-sensors can handle that you might need some 3rd party program. But I'm always afraid to install anything to dom0. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
