Perhaps you could use screenlets,,(sensors or ringsensors)

I installed computertemp from Synaptic and it found the sensor automatically.

did you run sensors-detect after installing?

open a terminal and run the following:

sudo sensors-detect

follow the prompts. when its complete, simply run:

sensors

Hi, I'm having problems with computertemp - I can't get it running. Done sensors detect and stuff, but applet refuses to show anything - it stays redcrossed. When I write sensors in terminal I get the temp reading. Other apps also show it correctly, but I want it on the pannel. Any suggestions pls... I'm with Ubuntu 10.04 lts on Lenovo 3000 N200.

Use the GNOME Sensors Applet. Install it by clicking on the link, or by running

sudo apt-get install sensors-applet

You can then add it to your panel by right-clicking on empty space on one of your panels, and choosing "Add to panel", from there, look (or search) for "Hardware Sensors Monitor", and drag it where you want it.
