    Post How do I Install k10temp?

    1. Make a new directory and open it:
      Code:
      mkdir -p 'k10temp'
      cd 'k10temp'
    2. Download the file as k10temp.c:
      Code:
      wget -O 'k10temp.c' 'http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/attachments/20080718/d51be536/attachment.bin'
    3. Create a makefile:
      Code:
      echo 'obj-m := k10temp.o
      KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
      PWD := $(shell pwd)
      default:
      $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules' > Makefile
    4. Download the Linux headers (you may need to specify the version):
      Code:
      sudo apt-get install linux-headers
    5. Run the make file:
      Code:
      sudo make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) modules
    6. Temporarily add the k10temp module:
      Code:
      sudo insmod k10temp.ko
    7. Test if the sensors work (do not continue if the sensors do not work):
      Code:
      sensors
    8. Permanently add the k10temp module:
      Code:
      sudo cp k10temp.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/hwmon
    9. Rebuild modules.dep file:
      Code:
      sudo depmod
    10. Do some modprobing stuff:
      Code:
      sudo modprobe k10temp
    11. Add k10temp to the startup list:
      Code:
      echo 'k10temp' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules >/dev/null
    12. Restart your computer.
    13. Test if the sensors work:
      Code:
      sensors



    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:
    Code:
    #----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

    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?

    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.

    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?

    Re: How do I Install k10temp?

    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:

    Code:
    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.

    Re: How do I Install k10temp?

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

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

    In that case choose the latest appropriate version from the list (most people will want a generic kernel):
    Code:
    $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers

    P.S. To make your post more readable please avoid quoting huge posts in your response, try to only quote the relevant parts. It would also help if you put your terminal output in code boxes. Thanks.
