how to check temperature on my desktop
Just wondering how to check temperature on my desktop. On a laptop I use
"acpi -V" to see the temperaute.
I was checking my desktop's(running Debian Sarge and kernel 2.6.9)
motherboard's specs and notice it could be supporting temperature
sensors. However, the boot log in /var/log/sys shows:
ACPI: Processor [CPU] (supports C1)
ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF]
and those are the only two lines containing ACPI. What does mean?
I have these modules loaded:
thermal
fan
button
processor
ac
battery
In /proc/acpi the following directories are emtpy(didn't check the others):
thermal_zone
fan
ac_adapter
and others
This is what I get when I try to get information:
$> acpi -V
No support for device type: thermal
So, how do I go about checking my CPU's(see below) temperature? And how
do I confirm that my desktop really supports temperature reading?
thanks,
->HS
