1. Introduction

Psensor is a graphical hardware monitoring application for Linux.

It draws realtime charts and raises alerts about:

-
the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using -lm-sensors).
-
-
the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl).
-
-
the temperature of ATI GPUs (using ATI ADL SDK).
-
-
the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp, libatasmart -or udisks2).
-
-
the rotation speed of the fans.
-
-
the temperature of a remote computer.
-
-
the CPU load.
-

Alerts are using Desktop Notification and a specific GTK+ status icon.

For Ubuntu users, Psensor is providing an Application Indicator which turns -red under alert and a menu for quickly check all sensors.

It is possible to monitor remotely a computer:

-
start psensor-server on the remote computer.
-
-
start psensor using: psensor --url=http://hostname:3131.
-

psensor-server is a minimal Web server, a Web browser can be used to -monitor the remote computer by opening the URL: -http://hostname:3131.

- -

-psensor-server does not provide any way to restrict the connection -to the HTTP server, worst, no effort has been made against malicious -HTTP attacks. You should make the psensor-server port available -only to a network or computer you trust by using the usual network -security tools of the system (for example: -iptables). -

2. Installation Using Distribution Packages

2.1. Debian

For Debian, the binary and source packages are available in the -Wheezy, unstable and testing repositories.

Debian package information is available at: -http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/psensor.html.

To do the installation:

sudo apt-get install psensor psensor-server

2.2. Ubuntu

Since Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10), psensor is available in the universe -repository of Ubuntu.

To install psensor or psensor-server:

sudo apt-get install psensor
-sudo apt-get install psensor-server

Or search them in the Ubuntu Software Center.

For other Ubuntu releases or user the more recent release, the easiest -way is to use the dedicated PPA.

Last stable version:

sudo apt-get apt-add-repository ppa:/jfi/psensor
-sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-get install psensor
-sudo apt-get install psensor-server

Last development version which should not contain major bugs:

sudo apt-get apt-add-repository ppa:/jfi/psensor-unstable
-sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-get install psensor
-sudo apt-get install psensor-server

Daily trunk build which may contain major bugs and partialy -implemented features:

sudo apt-get apt-add-repository ppa:/jfi/psensor-daily-trunk
-sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-get install psensor
-sudo apt-get install psensor-server

3. Installation From Source Archive

psensor and psensor-server can be compiled and installed on any -modern GNU/Linux distribution.

3.1. Compilation Prerequisites

The compilation of psensor requires:

-
make
-
-
gcc (or llvm)
-
-
lm-sensors
-
-
library sensors4
-
-
library gtk3 >=3.4
-
-
help2man (optional, required to produce the manpage)
-
-
asciidoctor (optional, required to produce the html version of the -faq)
-
-
cppcheck (optional, static source checker)
-
-
library libnotify (optional)
-
-
library libappindicator >= 3.0 (optional)
-
-
library libXNVCtrl (optional)
-
-
library json-c >= 0.11.99 and curl (optional, required for remote monitoring)
-
-
library unity (>=v3.4.2, optional)
-
-
library gtop2 (optional, required for CPU usage)
-
-
library atasmart (optional, for disk monitoring)
-
-
library udisk2 (optional, for disk monitoring)
-

The specific requirements for psensor-server:

-
library libmicrohttpd
-
-
library json-c >= 0.11.99
-

3.2. Compilation and Installation Steps

-
download the source archive from: http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files
-
-
Extract files from the source archive
-
-
Compilation: ./configure;make clean all
-
-
Installation: make install (require to have root permission)
-
-
Start the sensor detection script: sensors-detect and follows the -instructions. Reboot or activate the kernel modules which have -been found.
-
-
Run: psensor
-

3.3. ATI/AMD GPU Support

When the OpenSource ATI driver is used, the monitoring -information is available throw lm-sensors and does not require the -following instructions.

When the proprietary ATI driver(Catalyst) is used, the build is -requiring an additional library.

Download the -ATI ADL SDK -and extracts the files of the archive into a directory [dir].

Replace the step 3. of the above section by ./configure ---with-libatiadl=[dir] where [dir] must be the directory where you -have extracted the ATI ADL SDK. Other steps are indentical.
