    If you can see the temperatures in the BIOS (my laptop BIOS doesn't show them, but my desktop BIOS does) you can compare the values there with the values you get from lm-sensors. If you let your laptop run idle for a few min and then reboot into the BIOS the temperatures will be more or less the same.

    You can also stress different parts and see which temperature increases. For example glxgears (terminal) will stress your CPU and graphics core. And you might be able to tell which temperature is the southbridge by stressing your network (is likely connected to your southbridge) or copying files on your disk.

    Well I figured it out....temp1 is GPU, temp2 is the Southbridge and temp3 the Northbridge...thanks!!!

    Re: HOW TO: Install and configure lm-sensors

    Ok, I'm not sure if I am doing something correctly...

    Code:
    jeremey@ubuntu:~$ sudo sensors-detect
    # sensors-detect revision 5249 (2008-05-11 22:56:25 +0200)
    
    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,
    unless you know what you're doing.
    
    We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
    Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): y
    Probing for PCI bus adapters...
    Use driver `i2c-viapro' for device 0000:00:11.0: VIA Technologies VT8233 VLink South Bridge
    
    We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
    Module `i2c-viapro' already loaded.
    If you have undetectable or unsupported I2C/SMBus adapters, you can have
    them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.
    
    We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may
    be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence
    value in that case.
    If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address,
    you can specify that address to remain unprobed.
    
    Next adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 0400 (i2c-0)
    Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):

    Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to
    write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though.
    Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots!
    Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no):

    Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to
    standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.

    I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.
    Just press ENTER to continue: 
    
    To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
    
    #----cut here----
    # Chip drivers

    #----cut here----
    
    Do you want to add these lines automatically? (yes/NO)

    Usage: /etc/init.d/module-init-tools COMMAND
    
    ----> My edit:  what goes into COMMAND? I tried w3627hf <------
    
    jeremey@ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools w83627hf
    Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
    utility, e.g. service module-init-tools w83627hf
    
    The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart
    job, but w83627hf is not supported for Upstart jobs.

    After
    Code:
    sudo sensors-detect
    you should have run
    Code:
    gksudo gedit /etc/modules
    or
    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/modules
    added the next 2 lines
    Code:
    # Chip drivers
    w83627hf
    save and reboot

    Thanks miegiel,

    Ok, Here's my etc/modules:

    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.
    
    loop
    lp
    floppy
    
    # Chip drivers
    w83627hf
    I rebooted with that, then:

    Code:
    jeremey@ubuntu:~$ sensors
    No sensors found!
    Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
    Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

    Before you reboot you need to add the sensor to the /etc/modules file (you need root rights to do that). See the steps in my post above.

    Re: HOW TO: Install and configure lm-sensors

    I've tried all of this and still nothing will allow me to kep the fans running on my Toshiba satellite laptop.

    The lm-sensors and sensor-detect do not work as shown here on this particular laptop it seems.
    I can't get the sensor-applet to run either. (It is installed but not in /usr/bin as is the sensors executable)

    #sensors
    acpitz-virtual-0
    Adapter: Virtual device
    temp1: +59.0°C (crit = +104.0°C)

    coretemp-isa-0000
    Adapter: ISA adapter
    Core 0: +59.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

    coretemp-isa-0001
    Adapter: ISA adapter
    Core 1: +60.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

    /etc/moduels file-
    # /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

    # Generated by sensors-detect on Sun Dec 27 12:08:12 2009
    # Chip drivers
    coretemp



    The real problem is that the temperature limits seem to be set incorrectly and I have yet to find a way (that works on my laptop) to lower them.

    No problems until I try to play any streaming video full screen then the CPU overheats because the fan doesn't speed up enough until right about the time it shuts off due to over temp.

    Nothing related to monitoring or controlling the fan speeds works on this computer it seems.

    From the files related to ACPI--
    cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/cooling_mode
    <setting not supported>

    cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/polling_frequency
    <polling disabled>

    cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/state
    state: ok

    NOTE: This matches the sensors output and the output shown on the toolbar by kSensors.

    cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
    temperature: 54 C

    cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points
    critical (S5): 104 C
    passive: 104 C: tc1=2 tc2=3 tsp=40 devices=CPU0

    And I've tried the things I can find related to changing the argument in grub:

    # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
    # /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

    GRUB_DEFAULT=0
    #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
    GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
    GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
    GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" acpi_osi=force"
    // tried these (Yeah, I ran grub-update between boots:
    // quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux
    // quiet splash acpi_osi=force
    // quiet splash
    // removing quiet and splash even though they have NOTHING to do with it.
    // Nothing changes in the fan behavior.
    #quiet splash

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

    # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
    #GRUB_TERMINAL=console

    # The resolution used on graphical terminal
    # note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
    # you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
    #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

    # Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
    #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

    # Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entrys
    #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true"

    Oh, and also the things related to HOWTO Fix A Buggy DSDT File
    If I decompile and recompile my DSDT file the only errors are related to some sort of warnings about line terminators, nothing in the code itself.

    You can't read hdd temps with lm-sensors (at least I never have). Use hddtemp to get your hdd temperature.

    install :
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install hddtemp
    display hdd temp in terminal :
    Code:
    sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
    display hdd temp in conky :
    Code:
    ${hddtemp /dev/sda}

    I figured it out finally, the hddtemp daemon needs to be loaded at startup (one would think that such an obvious thing would have been published/discussed more often). Then it will be displayed as options with any of the Sensors applications, like GkrellM and Hardware Sensors Monitor.

    run this

    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp

    Re: HOW TO: Install and configure lm-sensors

    I did all the stuff as outlines in the posts but I get the foll:
    No sensors found!
    Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
    Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

    What could this mean?
    Mine is a new ASUS EVO motherboard and I just finished configuring all the stuff.

    also I tried computer temp and that did not work too?

    X sensors (from add software) also did not work.

    I am running the 64 bit version, btw.

    Please help.
