Seems like it's gotten a lot easier to get sensors up and running since this thread was started; I don't think anyone has given a new how-to so I will. Thanks to the folks in this thread [
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=671015 ] I got it working quickly taking the following steps:
1. Open a terminal and do the ol'
sudo apt-get install and install
lm-sensors and
sensors-applet.
2. After the install, run
sudo sensors-detect and say Yes to everything.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Right-click the bar at the top of the screen and select Add to Panel. Find Hardware Sensors Monitor and click Add.
You can also type "sensors" into the terminal and get a readout like this:

temp1: +32.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = transistor
temp2: +36.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +70.0°C) sensor = thermal diode
temp3: +80.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = transistor
cpu0_vid: +1.550 V
A couple people asked this a while ago in this thread, and didn't get an answer as far as I saw, so I'll ask again: Anyone know what temp3 is?!?
