Sorry, no sensors were detected.

I'm trying to setup a Sensors reader on a friends computer so he can see the running temperature. Temperature readouts work fine on his Windows XP installation. But when I install Gnome sensors-applet it says "No sensors found!" and when I run lm-sensors, it says

Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your system has no sensors, or they are not supported, or
they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not
supported. If you find out what chips are on your board, check
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver status.

anybody know how to get Sensors working under ubuntu?

What app do you guys recommend for a non-gui, simple text display of the system Temperatures?

[elliotbeken]

sudo apt-get install lm-sensorsthen


sudo sensors-detect

answer all with the recommended answer

this should help find the sensors in the system. (it seamed to work for me)
