Allo, Forgive I continue my rant about sensors and sensor labels but am learning new things all the time. Maybe Hardinfo should call the "sensors" program to get information about sensor Chipsets, Temperatures, Fan speeds and Voltages.
"sensors" program uses the functions provided by "libsensors" library. $ apt-cache search libsensors libsensors-dev - lm-sensors development kit libsensors3 - library to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors --- An ordinary output from: http://bildr.no/view/135109 --- The "sensors" program comes with the lm-sensors package. Get the source $ apt-get source lm-sensors or download the source from http://www.lm-sensors.org Look in the prog/sensors/ directory. The compilation requires at least these packages (maybe others too) $ sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libsysfs-dev bison flex -------------- An idea to Improve the sensors program: We could modify the "sensors" programs so it outputs data in more structured fashion (eg. xml), data, which other applications can read and interpret. Take a look at this suggestion: http://www.edbl.no/tmp/suggestion-to-improve-the%20sensors-program.txt Compare it to an ordinary output from the "sensors" program. http://www.edbl.no/tmp/ordinary-output-from-sensors-program.txt It is readable but not very suitable for parsing. What do you think? -- Hardinfo: Hardinfo does not show correct labels (names) for all device sensors. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178600 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
