    This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
    to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
    and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,

    Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
    Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):

    Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
    through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
    We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
    there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
    interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
    interfaces? (YES/no): 
    Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0...                      No

    Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
    We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually

    Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
    monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
    reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
    on some systems.
    Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):

    Unloading i2c-i801... OK
    Unloading cpuid... OK
    I have copied files around as suggested as I would like to to start at boot. When a reboot didn't get things working I then tried to start the service manually, service lm-sensors start, but I get this error message: .: 39: Can't open /etc/init.d/functions. Looking in my /etc/init.d directory, there is no functions file!

    sensors just gives
    Code:
    acpitz-virtual-0
    Adapter: Virtual device
    temp1:        +30.0°C  (crit = +110.0°C)
    which is a far cry from what it used to produce. I don't actually know what its attempting to measure there but it doesn't tally up with what the bios measurements are, whatever it is...

    /etc/modules contains
    Code:
    # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
    #
    # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
    # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
    
    lp
    modprobe
    modprobe
    
    # For temperature sensing
    coretemp
    it87
    I've been looking around and other scripts that have issues with a missing functions file tend to just comment an offending line out. Other times I've seen it get replaced with /lib/lsb/init-functions, which I do have. Is this the safest thing to do or is there some unmet dependency that hasn't been met / did I miss something?

    Any help's appreciated, and if anyone needs any more info please let me know!

    Cheers!
    See what happens if you remove 1 of the modprobe lines /etc/modules. I know no sane reason to have it in there twice, though your problem might be caused by something else.

    This did not help, coretemp would not load.

    Cheers, I dunno how that happened, makes no sense... Ultimately though, didn't help... I still get that error when I try to start the service...

    Re: HOW TO: Install and configure lm-sensors

    @Little Blue
    Do you remember if you installed lm-sensors from the ubuntu repository or compiled it from the http://www.lm-sensors.org source?

    AFAIK /etc/init.d/functions shouldn't exist in ubuntu, but the source code from lm-sensors.org might expect it to exist. There is also a naming issue, ubuntu (and debian) use lm-sensors, while lm-sensors.org uses lm_sensors (note the - and _). This might cause problems updating related packages.

    @akernan
    Did you install/upgrade to 11.10 yet? If so/not, consider doing a clean install instead of upgrading. It might solve your problems, but remember to backup the important stuff (or everything) in your home first.

    I didn't update to 11.10 yet, still on 10.10. I installed lm-sensor from the repo and got a newer version from lm-sensor.org site.

    That might be causing your problems too then. IIRC lm-sensors is installed in ubuntu by default now. So you only need to run
    Code:
    sudo sensors-detect
    and you're done. Note that the how-to in the first post is from October 2004, you should use it for inspiration only. And if you do want to compile it from source, I suspect you should uninstall (or even purge) the lm-sensors from the repo first.

    But it's time for you to move on to 11.10. Since 10.10 is not a LTS release you will only get updates for a year after it's release (October 2010).

    sudo modprobe i2c-isa
    sudo modprobe it87



    themoon@Marksman:~$ sensors
    No sensors found!
    Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
    Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
    How can I fix this
    Iam using Ubuntu oneiric

    It was a bit of both. Tried the repo version but that didn't recognise my sensors (it was a fairly new setup at the time), and went to lm-sensors.org to see if there was anything there that hadn't filtered down into the repos yet. I compiled it from there and eventually I'd managed to coax it into working, which its now stopped.

    I'm going to guess then the best thing to do is try and purge my system of all this stuff and reinstall from the repos to see if they now work? I guess sudo aptitude remove lm-sensors --purge will uninstall anything added by the repos but removing the stuff I compiled?

    Thanks for your help
