Bug#488863: RFP: kima -- kicker applet that monitors various temperature, frequency and fan sources
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : kima
Version : 0.7.4
Upstream Author : Ken Werner <ken.werner@web.de>
* URL : http://kima.sourceforge.net/
* License : GPL
Programming Lang: C++
Description : kicker applet that monitors various temperature, frequency and fan sources
Features
supported thermal sources:
* the Linux ACPI Thermal Zone driver. The corresponding kernel module is called thermal.
* the thermal sources of the Linux ACPI driver for the IBM ThinkPad laptops. The corresponding kernel module is called ibm-acpi.
* the IBM Hard Drive Active Protection System (HDAPS) driver. The corresponding kernel module is called hdaps.
* the Omnibook Configuration Tools & Patches. The corresponding kernel module is called omnibook.
* the iBook G4 CPU and GPU thermal zones. It may work on other Apple machines as well (please let me know).
* the thermal sensors available through hwmon (I2C, lm_sensors, ...).
* the CPU thermal sensor of the i8k kernel driver for Dell Inspiron and Latitude notebooks.
* the GPU thermal sensors of nvidia-settings (provided by the nVidia GPU card driver tools)
* the termal sensors provided by hddtemp daemon (make sure hddtemp runs on 127.0.0.1 port 7634 before kima starts)
supported frequency sources:
* the Linux kernel /proc/cpuinfo interface
* the Linux kernel cpufreq subsystem
supported fan sources:
* the fan sensors available through hwmon (I2C, lm_sensors, ...)
* the fan sources of the Linux ACPI driver for the IBM ThinkPad laptops. The corresponding kernel module is called ibm-acpi.
* the fan sources of the i8k kernel driver for Dell Inspiron and Latitude notebooks.
misc sources:
* CPU usage source (for each CPU and/or commulative for all CPUs)
* uptime source that displays the current system uptime
* battery source that displays the current state of charge of your batteries
misc:
* cpufreqd control module to switch cpufreqd profiles via cpufreqd remote interface
