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 Linux Distribution 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:
+Psensor PPA for Ubuntu +Psensor is in the official universe repository of Ubuntu since version 11.10 (Oneiric) +Psensor packages for Debian, Psensor is in the standard repository of Debian since 7.0. +Binary RPM package for OpenSuse: thanks to djs_core for the packaging. +Package for ArchLinux +Psensor v0.2.6 is installed by default in PartedMagic since version 5.0.+
