Just as title says I cant find it or it isn't installed and I don't know from where I can install it again since I didn't see it on synaptic. I sort of need it so I can view my system temps all the time any ideas would be appreciated.

sudo apt-get update in terminal.

then try sudo apt-get install lmsensors or something.

thats the weird thing I have lmsensors and I can run sensors in terminal and get my system temps but the hardware temp monitor doesn't appear at all so I am unable to add it to my bar so I can view them all the time.

Is hardware temp monitor a desktop applet?

Just use Conky instead.

I'm in caedis' tut for putting temp on bar...

... I installed what he says to install then he says "In the box at the top, type "sensors"

Click "Hardware Sensors Monitor" and click the [Add] button at the bottom."
Considering I don't have hardware sensors monitor I am unable to continue after that .. :S

Randomly turned on pc today decided to check add to panel and hardware monitor is there now D:? I guess it just decided to hide from me for a day

Is this the first linux restart since you installed lm-sensors? /etc/modules needs a restart once edited.

 

[Yangas]

nope I had restarted several times

this was only actual shut down completely of pc before going to sleep.

Make sure the proper conf files are written to so that lmsensors loads on boot. If you'd like an awesome docking tool that displays temps, voltages, and much mush more check this

What? Why would any file let alone "modules" need a restart? IIRC Linux modules are fully loadable/unloadable so once the config file is edited and saved, it should be fine.

I''ve installed not only lm_sensors from source but even i2c and the install process scans and sets up and at the end of the script, sensors are working.... no restart required.... or is this a Ubuntu thing?
