- * the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using
- lm-sensors).
- * the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl).
- * the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp).
- * the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors).
- * the temperature of a remote computer.
+ * the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using

Alarms using Desktop Notification can be set to each sensor to notify
high temperatures.
To monitor the temperature of a remote computer:
- * start psensor-server on the remote computer. The default port is
- 3131 and can be changed by using the '--port=PORT' command line
- option.

Ubuntu
------
-For Ubuntu, the easy way to install Psensor and Psensor-server is to
-use the dedicated PPA.
+Notes about installation on Ubuntu is available at:
+http://wpitchoune.net/blog/psensor/ubuntu-integration
+
+Since Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10), psensor is available in the universe
+repository of Ubuntu.
+
+For other Ubuntu releases, the easy way to install Psensor and
+Psensor-server is to use the dedicated PPA.
For the last stable version:
sudo apt-get apt-add-repository ppa:/jfi/psensor
sudo apt-get install psensor
sudo apt-get install psensor-server
-Alternatively, you can download Ubuntu binary packages from:
-http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files/ubuntu/
-The manual installation of the psensor and psensor-server packages
-requires also the installation of psensor-common which contains
-the multiple languages support.
+ATI/AMD GPU Support
+-------------------
+
+To compile Psensor with ATI support on Ubuntu:
+
+ * installs the usual Psensor build dependencies and fglrx ubuntu
+ package.
+
+ * downloads the ATI ADL SDK from:
+ http://developer.amd.com/sdks/ADLSDK/Pages/default.aspx and
+ extracts the files of the archive into a directory [dir].
+
+ * configure the build environment:
+ ./configure --with-libatiadl=[dir]
+ where [dir] must be the directory where you have extracted the ATI
+ ADL SDK.
+
+ * then follow usual GNU autotools compilation:
+ make clean all
+ make install
