Cant get GPU/CPU temp into conky

[Ice799]

i've searched these forums for a few days and haven't found the answer to my problem even googled it for hours on end.

I have Sensors installed

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-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801FB ICH6

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `i2c-i801' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): y
Module loaded successfully.
If you have undetectable or unsupported I2C/SMBus adapters, you can have
them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no): y
Module loaded successfully.

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: NVIDIA i2c adapter (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y
Client found at address 0x4a
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM75'... No
Probing for `Dallas Semiconductor DS75'... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM77'... No

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): y
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290... No

Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... 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.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): y
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:

Driver `w83627ehf' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `Winbond W83627EHF/EF/EHG/EG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

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:

Can someone please help me?
Ive tried various commands in conky but nothing.

Hey Ice799,

The thread you need to see is here

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6365702

But remember Jaunty is still in development....

Also check here for support contact in regards to conky.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/conky/support

[Ice799]

That really didn't even remotely help.... Sorry to say.
I just need the commands to add it to conky.
I need to know if there's any extra files I need to add or programs I need to get?

[|Porsche]

Can you get the output in a terminal? If so you can execute the command from conky and display it using the execi conky variable.
See http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html for all other variables.

Also checkout the conky setups on this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865 and if you find what you are looking for you can look at their .conkyrc.

[Ice799]

Conky runs fine... Just need to know what to do in order to get the GPU/CPU temp.

Ive tried:

Apcitemp
but just get 0

[|Porsche]

This are my lines of code:
Case: ${hwmon 1 temp 1}C ${hwmon 0 fan 4}rpm
CPU: ${hwmon 1 temp 2}C ${hwmon 1 fan 2}rpm

HINT: You might have different sensors,but you can use hwmon on conky to display them. The GPU is a different story.

[Ice799]

CPU: ${hwmon 1 temp 2}C ${hwmon 1 fan 2}rpm

Not working for me. Thanks thou.

Anythings else guys?

[Aubergines]

Change the number 5 to how many seconds between each time you want the script to run.


CPU: ${execi 5 sensors | grep "CPU Temp" | cut -c15-21

[Ice799]

sweetness it works expects i have a wierd A in the middle of it....
Edit:
Changed:

CPU: ${execi 5 sensors | grep "CPU Temp" | cut -c15-21}
to

CPU: ${execi 5 sensors | grep "CPU Temp" | cut -c15-18|


Anyone know how to get GPU temp and %?

[frigginacky]

If you have an nvidia GPU and nvidia-settings installed, try this:

In a terminal, type

nvidia-settings -query GPUCoreTemp

You should get something like this:

Attribute 'GPUCoreTemp' (FrigMachine:0.0): 50.
'GPUCoreTemp' is an integer attribute.
'GPUCoreTemp' is a read-only attribute.
'GPUCoreTemp' can use the following target types: X Screen, GPU.

On the first line, figure out which characters are displaying the temperature. In my example, the temperature (50) is characters 46-47.

In your .conkyrc, add this:


${execi 2 nvidia-settings -query GPUCoreTemp | grep Attribute | cut -c46-47}

Replace 2 with your desired update frequency in seconds, and 46-47 with the range of characters you want to display, and BOOM! You should have your GPU temp.

If you don't have an nvidia card, I'm clueless. Sorry.

[Ice799]

In your .conkyrc, add this:


${execi 2 nvidia-settings -query GPUCoreTemp | grep Attribute | cut -c46-47}
I do have nvidia card, worked like a charm thanks.

In my Laptop i have nVidia 9600M GT Card and this is working :D

for me

GPU Temp: ${execi 1 nvidia-settings -query GPUCoreTemp | grep Attribute | cut -c45-46}°C

ty a lot

Perfect, thanks! For me characters 43-44 were the ones.

p.s. Looking at the "variables" [1] it also works using "${nvidia temp}" and there are also more options (e.g. gpufreq).
