Thermal Tab mockup picture (74.59 KB, image/jpeg)

Description Elias K Gardner 2007-05-11 03:05:34 UTC 
Especially for laptop users a temperature gage whether of the cpu or just inside the case is helpful. There are others that do it that could be integrated better.

I think this would be agood idea.

If system-monitor had its own thermal page, maybe integrate Gnome-sensors-applet?

Did a mockup, which shows thermal history.
Comment 3 Benoît Dejean 2008-03-02 21:09:32 UTC 
Give me a portable way to retrieve temperatures and you have it.
Comment 4 fruitless 2008-03-08 17:55:28 UTC 
Unfortunately I don't have any real programming skills to speak of, so I don't know if there is a neat way for creating a thermal monitoring tab. 

Looking at its web page, Gnome sensors applet, which does thermal monitoring already, takes readings from the following interfaces:

    * ACPI thermal zones, via the Linux kernel ACPI modules
    * Linux kernel i2c modules (for kernel 2.6).
    * lm_sensors and i2c packages (for kernel 2.4)
    * libsensors (provided by lm_sensors package)
    * Linux kernel i8k module (for Dell Inspiron Laptops).
    * Linux kernel ibm-acpi module
    * Linux kernel PowerPC modules therm_adt746x and therm_windtunnel.
    * Linux kernel iMac G5 Windfarm module.
    * hddtemp daemon for reading temperatures from S.M.A.R.T. equipped disks.
    * Linux kernel Omnibook module (for HP and Toshiba Satellite laptops).
    * NVIDIA graphics cards via libNVCtrl (supplied with nvidia-settings)
    * Linux kernel sonypi module (for Sony Vaio laptops)
    
    * libnotify support for alarm conditions

Comment 6 Sven Arvidsson 2009-08-29 19:51:52 UTC 
Is there no support in HAL (or whatever is replacing it?) for getting thermal readings? If not, maybe a request to add such information would be in place?
Comment 7 Sven Arvidsson 2009-08-29 21:08:30 UTC 
For hard disks DeviceKit-disks exposes drive-ata-smart-temperature-kelvin for reading the temperature of the drive.
Comment 8 era+gnome 2011-06-11 17:38:35 UTC 
Bug #631498 which requests sensor support appears to be a proper superset of this bug.  Perhaps they should be merged, or at least coordinated.
