A Graphical Temperature Monitoring Application
+psensor
is a graphical hardware temperature monitor for Linux.
It can monitor:
+-
+
-
+
the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using lm-sensors).
+
+ -
+
the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl).
+
+ -
+
the temperature of ATI/AMD GPUs (not enabled in Ubuntu PPAs or official +distribution repositories, see the instructions for enabling its support).
+
+ -
+
the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp or libatasmart).
+
+ -
+
the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors).
+
+ -
+
the CPU usage (since 0.6.2.10 and using Gtop2).
+
+
The application is designed to be simple and easy to use. The CPU and memory consumption are not significant.
+Psensor is released under GPLv2 license terms.
+Usage Information
+First step is to install lm-sensors
.
For Ubuntu:
+sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
+Then, starts the detection of your hardware sensors:
+sudo sensors-detect
+Verify that it works:
+sensors
+It should display something like:
+coretemp-isa-0000 +Adapter: ISA adapter +Core 0: +46.0C (high = +76.0C, crit = +100.0C) +coretemp-isa-0001 +Adapter: ISA adapter +Core 1: +44.0C (high = +76.0C, crit = +100.0C) + +...+
Then you can proceed to the installation of psensor
. For Ubuntu and derivatives,
+ you should look at the Ubuntu support page.
And finally launch the psensor
executable.
More information are available in the Psensor FAQ.

Linux Distribution Support
+psensor
should compile on any modern distribution including GTK+
+v3 and lm-sensors
which are quite common. For the Linux
+distributions still stuck on GTK+
v2, the old 0.6.x releases of
+psensor
can be used.
If you have trouble compiling psensor
on a specific Linux distribution,
+donât hesitate to report it.
Binary packages of psensor
are available for few Linux distributions:
-
+
-
+
package for Ubuntu is in the official universe repository since version 11.10 (Oneiric)
+
+ -
+
package for Debian is in the standard repository since 7.0
