= psensor :docinfo2: == 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 http://www.lm-sensors.org/[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 link:README.html#_ati_amd_gpu_support[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). image::http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/screenshots/psensor-last.png[] image::http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/screenshots/psensor-2011-06-16.png[] 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: [source,script] ---- sudo apt-get install lm-sensors ---- Then, starts the detection of your hardware sensors: [source,script] ---- sudo sensors-detect ---- Verify that it works: [source,script] ---- 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 link:ubuntu.html[Ubuntu support page]. And finally launch the `psensor` executable. More information are available in the link:faq.html[Psensor FAQ]. == Source Code * link:files[Download psensor] * Get source from the GIT repository: ---- git clone http://git.wpitchoune.net/psensor.git ---- * link:http://git.wpitchoune.net/gitweb?p=psensor.git[Browse source code] == 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, don’t 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) * http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/psensor.html[package for Debian] is in the standard repository since 7.0 * https://launchpad.net/~jfi/+archive/ubuntu/ppa[PPA for Ubuntu] * http://software.opensuse.org/package/psensor[package for OpenSuse] * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/psensor/[package for ArchLinux]. == Misc * link:ubuntu.html[Psensor on Ubuntu] * link:remote.html[Remote monitoring] * link:contribute.html[How to contribute to psensor] * link:faq.html[FAQ] == Contact The Google Group https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups&hl=en#!forum/psensor-users[psensor-users] can be used for discussion, questions and bug report.
