I have been using the k10temp (built manually) since kernel 2.6.31 within several different Ubuntu installations with success.
As Ubuntu Lucid is going to be an LTS release there is no reason not supporting this sensor. As it is included in the final 2.6.33 kernel it can be seen as being stable enough. Ubuntu Lucid will be installed on a lot of servers and most of the installations on AMD systems will be using a K10 processor, namely Opteron. Lm-sensors is used often as a base for collecting sensor data for monitoring and thermal data is one of the very vital things in server environments. I followed all those discussions and the progress of KMS/DRM/GPU stuff going backported into 2.6.32. So this little tool would be the least of all the problems that may be introduced by backporting. I for myself am not asking for a 2.6.32 patch. I would rather see it in the backports-modules section. As most vital hardware does provide other sensors via SMBus or the like I don't think that it is vital to exist in the basic kernel image. This is not criticism, I just want to push it to exist somewhere in the official repositories. -- k10temp: there is no support for k10-thermal-sensors in kernel 2.6.32 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/500077 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
