Thermal information and fan control

Something like this:

cd ~/; mkdir senseapp; cd senseapp
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sensors-applet/sensors-applet-2.2.7.tar.gz
tar xzf sensors-applet-2.2.7.tar.gz
sudo apt-get build-dep sensors-applet
cd sensors-applet-2.2.7
debuild -i -us -uc -b
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

The build-dep command should get most of the dependencies. If debuild bugs you about missing dependencies, install them with apt-get or synaptic.

Thanks for your replay

However after sudo apt-get build-dep sensors-applet I get something (because I had to translate)like
E: cannot find source package for sensors-applet

Oh, you may have to enable source repositories in synaptic (Settings -> Repositories, check source code box, reload or apt-get update)

I think almost there.. I had to install some other thing but get error after:

debuild -i -us -uc -b

debuild: fatal error at line 627:
cannot find readable debian/changelog anywhere!
Are you in the source code tree?

and then after sudo dpkg -i *.deb
it gives some
dpkg: [error message] *.deb (--install):
cannot approach archive: file or folder does not exist
[Error message]:
*.deb

[Yellow Pasque]

You are in the sensors-applet-2.2.7 directory, right?

[Call_M]

You are in the sensors-applet-2.2.7 directory, right?

yes:

~/senseapp/sensors-applet-2.2.7 $ debuild -i -us -uc -b
debuild: fatal error at line 627:
cannot find readable debian/changelog anywhere!
Are you in the source code tree?

[Yellow Pasque]

Does dch command open the changelog?

dch

[Call_M]

No doesn't work:

~/senseapp/sensors-applet-2.2.7 $ dch
dch: fatal error at line 478:
Cannot find debian/changelog anywhere!
Are you in the source code tree?
(You could use --create if you wish to create this file.)

if I do dch --create then I get:

~/senseapp/sensors-applet-2.2.7 $ dch --create
dch: fatal error at line 500:
Cannot find debian directory!
Are you in the correct directory?

[Yellow Pasque]

I had a debian dir, I'm not sure where it came from? Anyway, you can skip building .deb packages

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

(partly) succes! I also had to install a some requirements: http://sensors-applet.sourceforge.ne...t=requirements

I have now the following sensors:
i2c-sys --> I don't know what it is
aticonfig --> my GPU!

The k10temp-pci-00c3 sensor is gone however.
hddtemp is also not showing. In the requirements it says I need to run hddtemp as a daemon.

So (after install) I did:

hddtemp -d /dev/sd[af]

But nothing came up in the sensors-applet also not after a restart.
Do you think a re-install will help?

Next question is where did I install the sensors-applet? I have it now on my bar but if I open synaptic it says it is not installed.
