LXDE Forums

I am a linux newbie tech oldie. I am using Lubuntu 14.04.

I would like to have two of these in my system tray if possible, but for the moment I am troubleshooting with only one.

If I access the settings for the temperature monitor, and tick automatic sensor location, the tray icon shows -273

If I untick automatic sensor location the tray icon shows "NA"

I have a dual cpu motherboard; so, I have two cpus I have lm-sensors installed.

sensors lists them as follows with their current readings.

k8temp-pci-00c3
k8temp-pci-00cb


I have tried unticking automatic sensor location in the tray icon and putting k8temp-pci-00c3 in the Sensor box, and the behavior does not change.

Can someone tell me what is the secret sauce to get this applet to show the temp of the specific cpu I want?

I reported this as a bug this morning.

I have made a different temperature lxpanel plugin that uses lm-sensors. If you are up for it, you can try and see if that solves your problem.

The lm-sensors plugin can be downloaded from https://github.com/danamlund/sensors-lxpanel-plugin

Thank you for your input. That is the real purpose of a forum, people sharing to help others.
