Need to get more info on my sensors, fan speed etc

  • 772

I had sensors working in 18.04 but having difficulties with 20.04

I installed sensors and ran sensors-detect selecting the default choices.

I would appreciate the opportunity to learn what I need to do next.

Thanks.

sensors

Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:         +2.1°C  (high = +70.0°C)
                       (crit = +80.0°C, hyst = +79.0°C)

radeon-pci-0008

temp1:         +2.0°C  (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C)

fam15h_power-pci-00c4
Adapter: PCI adapter
power1:           N/A  (crit =  65.19 W)

And my hardware info. Not sure if you need other info.

Trying some other things suggested by some members:

 E: Package 'hddtemp' has no installation candidate 

Psensors does not show fan speeds.

I tried this to install hddtemp.

I tried this

sudo apt update wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/h/hddtemp/hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb sudo apt install ./hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb and got Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/andy/hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

20.04

  1. In 20.04, hddtemp is in the universe repository. Check to make sure that has been added to your system.

    $ apt policy hddtemp
hddtemp:
  Installed: 0.3-beta15-53
  Candidate: 0.3-beta15-53
  Version table:
 *** 0.3-beta15-53 500
        500 [local mirror]/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

    1. Try these commands to install hddtemp:

      wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/h/hddtemp/hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb  
mv hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb /tmp
cd /tmp
sudo apt install ./hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb

    2. For sensors, first load the kernel driver that can read drive temperatures using the following command:

      sudo modprobe drivetemp

    Then run these commands:

       sudo sensors-detect
   sensors
