How do I Install k10temp?

[Penguin Guy]

Make a new directory and open it:

mkdir -p 'k10temp'
cd 'k10temp'
Download the file as k10temp.c:

wget -O 'k10temp.c' 'http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/attachments/20080718/d51be536/attachment.bin'
Create a makefile:

echo 'obj-m := k10temp.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules' > Makefile
Download the Linux headers (you may need to specify the version) (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9777345#post9777345):

sudo apt-get install linux-headers
Run the make file:

sudo make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) modules
Temporarily add the k10temp module:

sudo insmod k10temp.ko
Test if the sensors work (do not continue if the sensors do not work):

sensors
Permanently add the k10temp module:

sudo cp k10temp.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/hwmon
Rebuild modules.dep file:

sudo depmod
Do some modprobing stuff:

sudo modprobe k10temp
Add k10temp to the startup list:

echo 'k10temp' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules >/dev/null
Restart your computer.
Test if the sensors work:

Original Question:
----------------------------------------

I'm trying to get my fans to adjust their speed according to the temperature in my computer. I followed a guide and installed lm-senesors, but when I ran it (and after answering yes to all the questions) I receive this output:


#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
# no driver for AMD K10 thermal sensors yet
#----cut here----

But I can see a lot about k10temp 'patches' on the internet, I was wondering if installing one of these will get the sensor working and if so, how I can actually install the patch. I'm asking because I don't know much about any of this and would rather not have my CPU melt because of some stupid mistake I made with the fan driver.

My Hardware:

Case: Antec 300
PSU: Antec EarthWatts 750W
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P 790FX
CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 710 2.6GHz
GPU: ATi Radeon 3850

[Tiedemate]

Me too! I found a patch and tried to compile it, but make quits for some reason I can't understand. Does anyone have some info on this?

[Tiedemate]

Followed again very striclty this guide, and now it works!

[nstenz]

You DO NOT NEED to get the entire kernel source. The kernel-headers package is sufficient.

Thanks for the advice, I've updated the original post.

[shane2peru]

Can this be undone? I think my machine ran cooler before doing this? here is what sensors say:
sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +90.0°C (crit = +105.0°C)

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +84.2°C (high = +70.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

or can I cause the fan to kick on sooner, or to run more often? I have always attributed my overheating problem to my ATI Radeon HD3100 card in this laptop, but perhaps we are on track here, not sure. Any thoughts, ideas would be appreciated, I'm running some testing kernels, because normal kernels it overheats. Thanks for the how to, worked fine.

Shane

[Penguin Guy]

Can this be undone?
Find the line k10temp in /etc/modules - remove that line and k10temp shouldn't start.

[shane2peru]

Find the line k10temp in /etc/modules - remove that line and k10temp shouldn't start.

Thanks! That is simple enough, I thought it was something like that but couldn't remember. Nice guide!

Shane

EDIT: Actually with the newest kernel that I installed .35rc1 that seemed to work better than anything. Thanks.

Hi
Tonight's nightly update of Ubuntu 10.04 may have thrown up this problem:-

I have k10temp installed and working (showing only four of the six cores) on my Phenom II x6 1090T.
This evening after update I now have a constant flashing message on screen which I cannot close saying
'Error Updating Sensor Temp1
An error occurred while trying to
update the value of the sensor temp1
located at sensor://k10temp-pci-00c3/0 '

I commented out k10temp in etc/modules but it has not disabled k10temp and the flashing warning above still shows.

can anyone help with this one.
Thanks

Hi wetinwales.

I can only get 1 temp for my X6 1055T to show, i can't seem to find a fix for it, i have all the latest updates installed at least you've got 4 cores to show, how can i ask.

[wetinwales]

Hi
I followed the instructions in the first post above and it worked.
The 'sensors-applet' was in synaptic.

BTW I tried to reinstall sensors applet today, after removal, and re-enabled k10temp .... but nothing works!

[P . P . L .]

Hi.

I've had a look at my etc/modules file and there is no reference to the

k10 driver only it87, so before i do the install at the top of this thread

is there some way to see if i have that driver somewhere on this system.

And if it's there how to get it to work, or do i just follow those

instructions.

[P . P . L .]

Hi all.

Well i followed the instructions (to the letter), at the start of this

thread and i still only have one extra temp showing now in Gkrellm. So does

someone know whats wrong and how to fix it. I mean to get all six cores to

show, it does under winblows!

Help.

[P . P . L .]

Looks like nobody knows or they don't care to fix this, i'm sure i'm not

the only one to have this problem, not good for a new O.S. :(

[Penguin Guy]

Sorry about the slow response, haven't been on Ubuntu Forums for a week or so.

To be honest, I copied the steps from a website only making minor changes and don't actually know much about temperature monitoring myself. It may be that six-core CPUs are quite rare (I'd only ever heard of four-cores before now) and that there is simply no support for it yet. Are you sure you have six temperature monitors? I have a quad-core CPU, but all four cores share a single temperature monitor.

I would try Googling "X6 1055T k10temp" (http://www.google.com/search?q=X6+1055T+k10temp), but the first result is this page.

[P . P . L .]

Hi Penguin Guy.

Pretty sure they all do, app's that i have seen for windows like speed fan,

hardware monitor & AMD O.D. shows 6 core temps.

Then people with the new 12 core Opteron 6174 will have a big problem!

[P . P . L .]

Hi all.

This is part of the answer i got on the AMD forums when i asked about the

core temp reading, so it looks like it's a software problem, wonder if

someone can/will fix it?

================================================== ====================

Quote/ There are no actual sensors on each core. The core temps are

calculated based on frequency/voltage/load/temp.

For this reason I and many only go based on the single cpu (not core). /End

[Penguin Guy]

There are no actual sensors on each core. The core temps are calculated based on frequency/voltage/load/temp. diode found under the integrated heat sink.
For this reason I and many only go based on the single cpu (not core) but the diode under the IHS because when overclocking the equation thats used gets some very inconsistent since voltages and clock speeds get so far out of the parameters.
How to get the actual diode reading under Ubuntu I havent a clue.
There you go - Ubuntu shows one temperature because there is only one thermometer, the other temperatures are guessed. I'd call this a design choice rather than a bug. Is there a reason you want separate core temperatures?

[P . P . L .]

Hi Penguin Guy.

Well i guess i'm just fussy if Gkrellm can show the load on six cores or

more, then why not show the temps for all cores if possible. I'm sure i'm

not the only one that wants to see that happen.

Just needs someone with the programming knowledge and will to do it.

Hi, I've been trying to get this thing to work for a while now. When I do the apt-get install linux-headers, I get :
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package linux-headers has no installation candidate

And then when I issue the 'sensors' command, I get this:
mcdonald@mcdonald-desktop:~/k10temp$ sensors
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

Any ideas?

[sreeharsha.t]

Hi,

I am using Acer Aspire 4530 laptop which has AMD Athlon X2 processor and Nvidia nForce MCP77MH.

My laptop overheats. It doesn't reboot but it is evident from the heat it produces. Also, the fan always run at the same speed. I learnt from this forum that my laptop requires the k10temp module for managing the fan speed automatically to cool the system. I did the steps for building the kernel module and inserted the module. However, the 'sensors' command shows the following output:


harsha@harsha-laptop:~/build/k10temp$ sudo insmod k10temp.ko
harsha@harsha-laptop:~/build/k10temp$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +61.0°C (crit = +105.0°C)

Does the above output mean that k10temp isn't working with my motherboard?

Thanks,
Harsha.

[theleftofsatan]

I don't think this is giving me the correct temperature.


$ sensors
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +22.0°C

[2hot6ft2]

Thanks for the guide Penguin Guy, it worked fine on Ultimate Edition 2.7 x64 which is based on Ubuntu 10.04 x64.
I downloaded the k10temp.c directly from here
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/k10temp/
Other than that I just followed your guide skipping "4. Download the Linux headers:" part.

And added it to the sensors applet on the top panel.
AMD Phenom II 955x4 BE with C3 revision
34 degrees C. Plugging away on boinc set at 80% of CPU time.
:guitar:
From what it says here: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices
it looks like it will be included in the 2.6.33 kernel and up.
:popcorn:

[Borromini]

Just so you know, this also works with the k10temp source code in 2.6.35, and the advantage is you get an updated driver ;).

[qbxk]

Seems like I have to redo this process this every time I get a kernel upgrade.

Anybody know a way around that?

I guess I can just do it while I'm in the console mode reinstalling my NVIDIA drivers too....

[P . P . L .]

Hi.

I hope someone knows how to fix this, the problem is nearly every time i

restart my rig the sensors config file resets to the default and i have to

go in and rename everything for temps, fans, volts the lot how to stop it

happening, my other rig doesn't do it!

The one playing up is on 10.04lts if that helps, the other rig is still on 8.04lts.

[james000222]

This was cool to run across (pun intended lol).

Yes indeed, it does look like it's going to be released with the next kernel. Aamof, you can download the most recent kernel and get a more recent version of k10temp.c. I dl'd 2.6.35 from linux.org, found the k10temp.c, and used it for the excellent howto by Penguin Guy, using the most recent linux-headers (linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic).

Outpt from sensors for an AMD 1055T 6-core on an M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3:

atk0110-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
Vcore Voltage: +1.18 V (min = +0.85 V, max = +1.60 V)
+3.3 Voltage: +3.40 V (min = +2.97 V, max = +3.63 V)
+5 Voltage: +5.02 V (min = +4.50 V, max = +5.50 V)
+12 Voltage: +12.28 V (min = +10.20 V, max = +13.80 V)
CPU FAN Speed: 3552 RPM (min = 600 RPM)
CHASSIS FAN Speed: 0 RPM (min = 600 RPM)
POWER FAN Speed: 0 RPM (min = 600 RPM)
CPU Temperature: +31.0°C (high = +60.0°C, crit = +95.0°C)
MB Temperature: +30.0°C (high = +45.0°C, crit = +75.0°C)

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +19.5°C (high = +70.0°C, crit = +99.5°C)

So yeah, it only shows one core - but the CPU is one solid chunk - not six chunks. It makes sense to have one temp.

Thanks penguin guy!

[P . P . L .]

Hi.

Well since the update for 10.04 the other day the k10temp module has

stopped working, so do i have to run threw the whole install thing again or

is there a simple way/short cut to get it going again since all the files

should still be their.

help please.

[P . P . L .]

"BUMP"

So no one knows how to get this going again.

[qbxk]

aww pete, you just gotta go follow all the directions from the start again basically. if you still have the files from last time just do a make && sudo make install and you'll be all set

this thread sucks though, i'm outta here, good luck

If you still have the k10temp folder, you just need to go back into there and then start at step 4 (in case the linux header files are not there).

The most recent version of the k10 kernel module along with a sensors (and lm_sensors) version of 3.1.2 or greater should get it to work. I have not tested it in Maverick or Lucid, but sensors is reporting the information for me in Gentoo. I am currently using a 2.6.35 kernel which is the same as Maverick.

EDIT: The k10temp module is in Maverick (without having to build it) and sensors seems to read it fine for the temp. I have not been able to get sensors read the sensors.conf file for Lucid though.

[mahmoodn]

This is what I get at step 5:

mahmood@localhost:k10temp$ sudo make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) modules
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-25-generic'

After that:

mahmood@orca:k10temp$ sudo insmod k10temp.ko

Any idea for that?

[ShakeyJake]

Just to say that this works great for me. Phenom II 955, MSI 770-C45, 2.6.33-generic, Lucid 64-bit. I now have the temp displayed in conky.

Hi MestreLion.

From what i've found out the K10temp comes from inside the CPU it's self

and the other CPU temp comes from under/inside the socket on the M/B.

They call k10temp the core temp(yes only one shows up)& the other is socket temp.

Hope that explains it.

[TechZilla]

OK, for the guy who doesn't want k10temp to start, if you ever want a module to not start, add its name to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

you could do that by entering this command


$ sudo echo k10temp >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

also remember these modules just monitor, regardless if you load k10temp or not, your actual temperature will the same. regardless of what sensors reports, its an interpretation from the temperature sensors. Many models are incorrect as well.

my BIOS says my CPU temp at idle is 34 C
k10temp says it around 15 C

my temperature didn't lower by running Linux, k10temp is either reading incorrectly or "more likely" libsensors doesn't have a correct configuration for my proc.

speaking of which if anyone also has this issue, or found a good config for /etc/sensors*, would love to hear about it.

Hi MestreLion.

From what i've found out the K10temp comes from inside the CPU it's self

and the other CPU temp comes from under/inside the socket on the M/B.

They call k10temp the core temp(yes only one shows up)& the other is socket temp.

Hope that explains it.

Yes it does! Thank you very much!

Another noobish question: ive googled about atk0110 and found a LOT of material about a similar, asus_atk0110. As my board is an Asus one, should i use this instead of the "regular" atk? How? Or is this outdated info?

Another important question, maybe a lil off-topic: how to get PWM fan control to work? After a lot of googling and seaching here, all the proposed solutions using fancontrol didnt work. All i get is something like "no devices found". Ive also read that currently kernel has no drivers for PMW for current 890GX chipset. Is thisdd true? Should i just wait, or is there anything i can do?

Last but not least: sensrors-applet RULEZ!!!! Ive managed to add a new pannel with dozens of meters.. temps, volts, fan speed, even hdd temp! But hddtemp must run as a daemon for it to work, so... what is the "proper" way to run hddtemp as a daemon when system boots? I dont want to type sudo hddtemp /dev/sd[a-z] -d everytime i log in

Ill stop here, im getting waaaay off topic!

Thanks!

Hello !

I have an HP pavilion dv5 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. He doesn't detect any sensors with "sensors" command, but "sensors-detect" tells me that I have to instal the k10temp driver.
I have downloaded k10temp.c, and I am following your instructions.

However, I have a problem when I want to create the makefile:

first step: "echo 'obj-m := k10temp.o'"
result: "obj-m := k10temp.o"
I think this first step is OK.

second step: "KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build"
result: "No command 'shell' found, did you mean:
Command 'lshell' from package 'lshell' (universe)
Command 'kshell' from package 'kdelibs4c2a' (universe)
Command 'spell' from package 'spell' (universe)
Command 'bshell' from package 'avahi-ui-utils' (universe)
shell*: commande introuvable
KDIR*: commande introuvable"

So, this second step is not working ... What can I do ?

Step 3 is all one step. The single quote (apostrophe => ') on what you list on the line above should not be matched until the last line. You should just copy and paste what is in the entire panel into a terminal window and execute it. That should create a file named Makefile with the contents between the first single quote and the last single quote. (In other words, the single quote highlighted above does not belong.)

I could not execute the insmod k10temp.ko

What I did was sudo su

and re-typed step 5 at a # and then I could do step 6.
