I have an lm_sensors based thermal plugin running in the development panel. You are able to select the sensor you want to monitor. Because it is lm_sensors based, it is as good as the hardware drivers. (The coretemp driver is a little behind the latest Intel chips.)
The answer for why the temperature looks like 22000 is that the hardware reports it in thousandths of a degree. This is another reason why you want to be lm_sensors based; the accumulated base of knowledge about what units each sensor reports is in sensors.conf.
There is no committed release date at this time for the next feature release panel that I have been working on. It is, as yet, too unfinished and unstable for anyone else to be running. For now, conky or gkrellm are a way to see these sensors, if you wish to use the desktop space.

any thing new here?
I'm using LXPanel 0.5.7 on archlinux with kernel 2.6.39 and the temperature monitor applet just shows NA …
in the terminal however I can see lm-sensors is just working fine …
Code: Select all
$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +46.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1: +46.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
is there anything I can type in the applet settings dialogue? I tried to put coretemp-isa-0000 in the Sensor field, but with no result at all... same with Core 0, core0, etc.
any other suggestions?

Anxiously awaiting further information on this matter. I am getting the same results as other users - sensors working fine, but unreadable by the Temperature Monitor applet.

Ive given up on a panel applet and made a conky for it. Much easier.

Hi,
What do you mean with a conky ?
Can you explain how to deploy the code:
${hwmon 0 temp 1}°C
I noticed that xfce has a sensors applet. Is there some generic way to apply xfce applets in lxde ?
regards

I think conky refers to the conky package:

Short answer: I don't think there is, at this point.
Long[er] answer: I'm not familiar with how XFCE interacts with gtk applets, but the LXPanel plugins have a specific API they need to adhere to.

I made a lxpanel plugin that uses lm-sensors. This topic seems an appropriate place to mention it.
http://danamlund.dk/sensors_lxpanel_plugin/
It understands temperatures, fans and voltage sensors. Other types of sensors output raw data.

Thanks danamlund, but can't install it in Mageia 2 LXDE:
Code: Select all
[burak@localhost sensors-lxpanel-plugin-1.0]$ make
gcc -Wall `pkg-config --cflags lxpanel gtk+-2.0` \
-shared -fPIC sensors.c -lsensors -o sensors.so \
`pkg-config --libs lxpanel gtk+-2.0`
[burak@localhost sensors-lxpanel-plugin-1.0]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost sensors-lxpanel-plugin-1.0]# make install
cp sensors.so /usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins
cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
[root@localhost sensors-lxpanel-plugin-1.0]#

Note to people: Lionhater and me solved the problem over email.
Turns out the plugins directory is different on 64bit machines.
I have updated the download. And it should install on either 32bit or 64bit machines now.
Thanks again to lionhater for the bug report.
