Temp Moniter for Mint.

Post by ythe1300 »

Are there any good temperature that will work with Mint? I would to monitor the temperatures of my P4 Northwood as it used to get very hot and I would like to keep an eye on them. Something like Core temp maybe?

Thanks in advance

Hi
Go to Synaptic/search/ temperature

Find "computertemp"
"Computer Temperature Monitor applet for GNOME
Computer Temperature Monitor is a little applet
for the GNOME desktop that shows the temperature
of your CPU on screen."
You can log temperatures to a file and set alarms as well.

More information: http://computertemp.berlios.de/"

If not already installed, right click
"mark for installation" install

Or if you want install Gkrellm, also in Synaptic, and all its plugins and get everything :)

I can't find it using Synaptic, any of them actually. :( no matter what I search for. On a more positive note I got the little gdesklets to work and may I say that it has a lot better execution than gadgets in Vista. :D
