Updated pmcputemp v0.9 64bit

[ozsouth]

Bookwormpup10.0.7 has been released (has a new Debian 12 base) & not only does the taskbar thermometer not change for me, but locating the correct file to display cpu temp is now obscure. All my previous cputemp programs will now fail with this pup. Need a more generic way to do this. So, this program searches hwmon0 -> hwmon5 folders & within them temp0_input -> temp4_input, finds the temp & displays that location ever after. Not ideal, but at least it's a guide. If unhappy with auto-selection (i.e. temp doesn't change), can edit
/root/.config/pmcputemp/pmcputemprc , & restart X, allowing re-detection - may need to do this later if PC was very cold upon .pet install. Tested OK in s15pup64-240706 & BookwormPup64-10.0.7. Need to restart X after install to activate. Use at own risk.

20Feb2025 - see v0.9s, further down - does the search in reverse, as cpu temps often not first item found.

@BarryK - thanks for that. Unfortunately, the location just shows the static 25C. That's been my problem for years, on different PCs. Now that Debian 12 has a different format again, I chose to make the location in /sys/class/hwmon & check dozens of combinations for a sensible temperature. It was fine before this, just had to match tempX_label with tempX_input. Hence my rough approach above.

Bookwormpup10.0.7 has been released & not only does the taskbar thermometer not change for me, but locating the correct file to display cpu temp is obscure. Instead of a matching label (to the input number) we just have 'name' file. All my previous cputemp programs will now fail with this pup. Need a more generic way to do this. So, this program searches hwmon0 -> hwmon7 folders & within them temp0_input -> temp7_input, finds the highest temp & displays that location ever after. Not ideal, but at least it's a guide. If unhappy with auto-selection, can manually edit /root/.config/pmcputemp/pmcputemprc.
Tested OK in s15pup64-240706 & BookwormPup64-10.0.7. Need to restart X after install to activate. Use at own risk.

Thanks for the updated pmcputemp @ozsouth

Was hoping it would fix the current problem I have whilst running in Bookworm 10.0.6 but no such luck yet.
I have the cpu temp icon in the taskbar at boot and it displays the correct temperature fine.
The problem I see is,the icon vanishes after around 30 minutes of runtime and I have to restart it from the startup directory to run for another 30 minutes or so.
This is on an AMD laptop.

TIA for any ideas?

@Tahrbaby - is your problem happening in the standard BookwormPup64, or after my .pet is installed? I'm using a very different method to radky's, so they shouldn't clash.

Yes Sir @ozsouth .indeed it was occurring in the standard BokwormPup64 and nothing to do with your latest version.

For BookwormPup64 ONLY, I made a reverse version of gatotray - see: viewtopic.php?p=126095#p126095

I found that on many systems, the first temp listed is a static item (could be package, motherboard, wifi adaptor or gpu), not a cpu core, so I made a version that searches in reverse, as cpu cores seem to be listed last.
This checks 6 hwmon folders & 5 temp_input files, starting from hwmon5/temp4_input & working back till one is found. That location is then the default. My current display is hwmon3/temp3_input , which is Core 1. That is a good indicator, even if not perfect.
Need to restart X after install. Works on all 64bit pups I tried. Use at own risk.

@ozsouth :-

I'm assuming this is now "no-arch", Oz.....yes? I see pmcputemp.sh checks

Code: Select all

uname -m

.....on line 6, so.....

@mikewalsh - Executable is 64bit only. Detection shell script could be used for either.
