For anyone with the same issue, forgetit if you have a specific AMD CPU.
Check archwiki's lm-sensor page for the k10temp tweak, which didn't work for
me.
Even if it would have worked, it would be inaccurate.
So I'll get a rhebus with a probe on the CPU indicating the proper temp.
Bonus,
Necroing a bit, as I want to monitor my CPU temp and fan speeds, and control
all that:
* I have 2 case fans, 2 CPU fans, and a GPU connected directly on the
motherboard (+adapters on CPU fans for lower RPM/noise)
* I installed lm-sensors
* I configured it (defaults, and accepted the config to
I have to admit that I let it run for months without turning it off, and I
don't know if the fan needs cleaning.
Thermal paste, good idea, I'll try that too.
Unfortunately, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure there's a log about that
somewhere.
I should clarify:
I don't actually know if my problem is heat related or not as I did not
check. I haven't done anything software side to affect fan speed. Also I have
replaced the thermal paste on the CPU --and I know what I'm doing! Probably!
:-)
ugh, that's so murphy, as in 'the only time u don't want to start anything, u
trigger Locoiendo' :)
You gave me an perverted idea!
I feel corny when I wait for updates for trisquel!
I fee conky when time goes by with updates for trisquel
I feel vonky when the trisquel updates are a disparatity, distorted and wont
work at all!

my X200 also gets rather hot, specially if the weather is hot as well. I've
had kernel panics because of that.
But sometimes the CPU % gets very high as well.
Both CPU use and CPU temp get super high only for a few seconds. But this can
happen frequently.
But I use the default system
I have this problem as well on my librebooted x200. (trisquel 7)
On rare occasion it will become totally unresponsive; even closing the lid
does not activate sleep mode.
The only pattern I can see is that I'll be using the laptop and walk away to
do something else for a few minutes and

in my post there are two references to conky and one to vonky, as I recently
started to call it :)
Also, I left u the conkyrc, so yeah, of course :P
Pardon my joking, I'm senile too
I'm assuming that "vonky" was a typo, and that you were referring to this?

Thanks Leah, I've installed xsensors. It seems to make use of the lm-sensors
package mentioned in the link Magic Banana posted. Any suggestions on HowTos
for making use of xsensors?
Nope, no error obvious error messages when it crashes. It just completely
freezes. Even CTRL-ALT-F1 does nothing. Is there a particular log I should
look in for error messages, after I boot back up again?
hey
sudo apt-get install xsensors
this is what i use. it works well.
True. But don't you have an error message when it crashes?
If not, maybe enabling verbosity somewhere might do so.
If temperature is the problem there are a number of things I could try, but
there are a few other suspects. First priority is to accurately diagnose the
problem. Thanks for the suggestions Banana, SuperTramp, and David, I'll try
these out and let you know what results I get.
I know there are hardware knobs to turn up/down fan speed.
The idea is to also control the noise output.
I mean monitoring is one thing, but you need to be able to increase the
airflow if needed.
or.. via conky.. I'll leave my vonky here for u in case u get curious.

Subject: [Trisquel-users] Monitoring desktop temperature with Trisquel
Local Time: June
I have been having some weird issue where my desktop PC running Trisquel 7 OS
totally locks up, right down to the kernel - CTRL-ALT-F1 doesn't work, and I
have to hold down the power button to shut it down. There's a few possible
culprits, but one is temperature. The guy I bought this PC
