Conky / CPU Temp

[Frogs Hair]

I am trying to use this code to add CPU temp to Conky and am getting no data . I have conky-all and lm-sensors installed . The degrees symbol C shows up , but that's all . Any thoughts on this are welcome .

${execi 30 sensors | grep 'Core0' | cut -c15-16}°C${color}${font}

Does sensors work in terminal, and are the right sensors present in your hardware? It never works in either of my two old machines. Also does lm-sesnors command need to be run as root with sudo? If so you will need to reconfigure it to be run as normal user, which I did for hddtemp (and vnstat) with

sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp

and

sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/vnstat

I use a similar conky syntax to show the output of hddtemp, the nearest I can get to cpu temperature, and the only difference I can see that might be a problem is that I have a space after the cut -c request:-

${alignc}${execi 60 hddtemp /dev/sda | cut -c 6-28} C

and I do not pipe twice as you do, though I can not see why these should make any difference.

I use this code for CPU temp.Try if this works;

${execi 8 sensors | grep -A 1 'temp2' | cut -c13-16 | sed '/^$/d'}°C

Thank you both for the suggestions , my other Conky themes report CPU temp . This is the first I have put together my self and I will experiment and report back .

Success ! I will have to restart to get it reporting properly . Thank you again !

   Mem: ${offset 9}$color$mem / $memmax${offset 10}
  ${color 111000}CPU 0 ${offset 9}$color${cpu cpu0}% (${execi 8 sensors | grep -A 1 'temp2' | cut -c13-16 | sed '/^$/d'}°C)   
  ${color 111000}CPU 1 ${offset 9}$color${cpu cpu1}% (${execi 8 sensors | grep -A 1 'temp2' | cut -c13-16 | sed '/^$/d'}°C)

Great!

Just to satisfy me, can you tell me how you get the degree sign to show in your conky output on screen? If I use the degree sign from "character map" in my ~/.conkyrc file, I get a strange accented A showing, (see screenshot).

I used the syntax that I posted . I discovered that each core does not have a sensor so I eliminated one of the lines and placed the temp. below the CPU % .

Hi, i just used this code in my theme config. for conky with a few tiny changes;

here's what i used after changing the code;

${color FFFFFF}${font caviar dreams:size=8}Temperature CPU0: ${cpu cpu0}% (${execi 8 sensors | grep -A 1 'temp1' | cut -c13-16 | sed '/^$/d'}°C)   
${color FFFFFF}${font caviar dreams:size=8}Temperature CPU1: ${cpu cpu1}% (${execi 8 sensors | grep -A 1 'temp1' | cut -c13-16 | sed '/^$/d'}°C)

what i want to know is why the temperature values remain the same for both CPU's, does this mean i have only one sensor for both CPU's, i'm using Dell Inspiron 1545 with Core2Duo T6600 processor, also, if i change temp1 to temp0 OR temp2 as it was given, it doesn't show anything. so what's going on ?

also i'm trying to add fanspeeds, and the codes i've tried, just crash conky... :s any suggestions? :s

another thing, does this "sensor temp1" show the temperature from same sensor as "acpitemp" ?
