Hardinfo doesn't display anything in the "Sensors" section

  • 772

Is there a way to make Hardinfo to display results on "Sensors" section?Currently as much long I wait it doesn't display anything.I have installed lm-sensors if that matters,but still nothing.

    Hardinfo uses lm-sensors for the sensors section. To view anything here you need to first install lm-sensors. 

    sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

    After that you will need to set up the sensors:

    sudo sensors-detect

    Just follow what it says. I always just trust it knows what it's doing and say yes to all the test, etc. Just make sure that you say yes to save it's findings, as it defaults to no. Now restart the sensors service:

      sudo service module-init-tools start

    Use the following command to see if it found valid sensors and you can use them:

    sensors

    Here is what mine said:

    If it didn't find any sensors, it will say:

    No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

    If it spits out some values, then you will now see these when running hardinfo. If not, you can try going through the sensors-detect again.

    I see that you already installed lm_sensors, but I left that part in for anyone else who happens upon this question.
