you can also add the temp to conky with

Code: Select all

${hwmon 0 temp 1}°C

i have it near the top in a bigger font

Code: Select all

${color2}Uptime ${uptime}${font DejaVuSans:size=20}${alignr}${hwmon 0 temp 1}°C${font DejaVuSans:size=9}

note that the values of hwmon may be different on other computers. typing

Code: Select all

sensors

should show the value. on my dell i have two ...... temp 2 & temp 4 ,one for each core.

Also, if you look in /sys/class/hwmon you may have other sensors. for instance on this netbook i have hwmon0 and hwmon1. 0 being the cpu & 1 being the gpu which could be added as well ${hwmon 1 temp 1}

Is there a reason why there is no 8821ce.ko file in the kernel module?

retrovol.desktop in autostart. Seems its activation should be
delayed a few seconds.

hi @art
what specs does this computer have?

It's a dell optiplex 3020 having quad core i5 and 4g ram. Fossa 9.0.5
frugal installed on internal ssd. It seems that retrovol tries to "take
hold" but my slow-to-start wireless "blanks it out".

art

#!/bin/sh
sleep 20
exec retrovol -hide

i'ld like to leave retrovol as is unless there are more similar reports from other users.
you could move retrovol.desktop in autostart to the disabled folder and have a script in /root/Startup

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
sleep 20
exec retrovol -hide

change the sleep value to suit your comp

suspend is working fine for me on 5 different computers. With the laptops simply closing the lid suspends

but on desktops you would need to click on /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh.

sometimes a particular kernel won't like a particular computer and suspend fails but you can try switching kernels and finding one that does work.
