\r
394 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
395 <div class="paragraph"><p>Psensor is relying on few libraries or softwares for retrieving the
\r
396 information about the computer:</p></div>
\r
397 <div class="ulist"><ul>
\r
400 motherboard and CPUs sensors: the information is retrieved
\r
401 from the lm-sensors library, it requires that
\r
402 <code>sensors-detect</code> has been run and the kernel module
\r
403 correctly installed. <code>sensors</code> can be used for checking.
\r
408 GPUs: it depends on which driver you are using:
\r
410 <div class="ulist"><ul>
\r
413 Opensource drivers (nouveau for Nvidia GPUs or
\r
414 radeon/ati for ATI GPUs) is used and support sensor
\r
415 monitoring for your GPU, the information is using
\r
416 lm-sensors, same steps than above.
\r
421 proprietary driver Nvidia: run <code>nvidia-settings</code> to
\r
422 check that it supports sensors monitoring.
\r
427 proprietary driver Catalyst/fglx: use <code>aticonfig</code> to
\r
428 check that it supports sensors monitoring. Important
\r
429 note: it requires that you are using a Psensor
\r
430 binary compiled with the ATI support.
\r
436 <div class="paragraph"><p>For hard disk drives, psensor can use:</p></div>
\r
437 <div class="ulist"><ul>
\r
440 udisks2: added since 1.1.2 release. It is the default and
\r
441 recommended provider.
\r
446 hddtemp: verify that it is correctly reporting temperature by
\r
447 using the command: <code>sudo hddtemp /dev/sda</code>. It is the default
\r
448 provider until 1.1.2 release.
\r
453 atasmart library: before the 1.1.2 release it can be enabled
\r
454 by using the command line option <code>--use-libatasmart</code>.
\r
458 <div class="paragraph"><p>If the underlying software is reporting sensors which are not
\r
459 displayed by Psensor, it is probably a bug in Psensor, so please
\r
460 report it. Otherwise, the issue is on the underlying software itself
\r
461 and you should contact the corresponding development team or refer to
\r
462 its documentation.</p></div>
\r
463 <div class="paragraph"><p>Since the release 1.1.2, the providers can be enabled or disabled directly
\r
464 from the user interface (<code>Preferences>Provider</code>).</p></div>

468 <h2 id="S_ATIMonitoring">2. How to monitor an ATI card using the Catalyst driver?</h2>
\r
469 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
470 <div class="paragraph"><p>For monitoring ATI card using the proprietary Catalyst driver, Psensor
\r
471 must be compiled with a proprietary library which is not packaged in
\r
472 any Linux distribution.</p></div>
\r
473 <div class="paragraph"><p>Unfortunely, due to the license of this library, I cannot provide a
\r
474 compiled version of Psensor, even in a Ubuntu PPA or Ubuntu/Debian
\r
475 standard repositories. You have to compile Psensor sensor. You can
\r
476 find the instructions in the section <code>ATI/AMD GPU Support</code> of the
\r
477 README file available in the Psensor source archives.</p></div>
\r
478 <div class="paragraph"><p>If you are using the ATI OpenSource driver, it is not needed to
\r
479 compile Psensor with this proprietary library.</p></div>

483 <h2 id="S_WrongTemperature">3. The reported temperature is obviously wrong</h2>
\r
484 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
485 <div class="paragraph"><p>If the reported temperature is obviously wrong (never change, lower
\r
486 than the ambiant temperature, negative, higher than the sun
\r
487 temperature, etc):</p></div>
\r
488 <div class="ulist"><ul>
\r
491 most of the time it is not a bug in Psensor nor in the
\r
492 underlying monitoring libraries:
\r
494 <div class="ulist"><ul>
\r
497 if the temperature does not change, it might be due
\r
498 to an existent sensor not wired by the hardware
\r
504 the goal of the sensor is to allow the system to
\r
505 detect critical temperature and NOT to report an
\r
506 exact temperature. Most sensors report a relative
\r
507 temperature. The more it differs from the critical
\r
508 temperature , the more it is wrong.
\r
515 It is only a bug in Psensor if the underlying libraries
\r
516 report a different information than Psensor (use the
\r
517 appropriate command or software: <code>sensors</code>, <code>aticonfig</code> or
\r
518 <code>hddtemp</code> to check). In this case, please report a bug.
