Default temperature monitor doesn't work with my AMD APU.

[tammi806]

Hello forums.

I curious to know why the oem default cpu temp monitor that rides in the right hand side of the panel will not work with my AMD APU processor.

Temperatures show up in Pup system info app under sensors so I know the sensors are being detected and read.

Is it possible to download and install Psensor and or Xsensors both have proven to work in other Linux distros I've used in the past.

I've tried to run lm-sensors but no go.

The default cpu temp monitor temperature monitoring software works great with my Intel boxes.

Thanks.

My install is to a 16 GB USB flash drive as a frugal install.

Here's my system.

@tammi806 - module & location are a problem with cpu temperature detection. Do you see anything at /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0 (or ...hwmon1)? If temp1_input , temp2_input , etc exist, these contain temp data. The corresponding label describes what's detected. Just running modprobe k10temp & restarting X may work too.

Thanks for your reply.

It shows 3 folders where you pointed me to.

I have no idea what I'm looking for though way beyond my knowledge.

I was hoping for an easy fix or a way to install Psensor or Xsensors.

I'm no good at troubleshooting software stuff.

@tammi806 - that's good. My cpu temp .pets have the right setup for that. I'm just not sure of Easy's structure, so a simple one would at least allow you to check temps. See: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic. ... 54#p130754

[tammi806]

@ozsouth

Yep that's all I want is something simple and basic to see the temps.

I'll have a look and a read on the link you posted and see what I can learn.

Everything is working great I just got used to seeing that temp monitor being there.

This is a new to me desktop that someone set out to the curb so I grabbed it up.

It needed memory and a hard drive and a power supply all of which I had in my spare parts stash.

Thanks for your help and advice.

Here's what I got.

[tammi806]

I just don't think Easy OS likes AMD APUs.

Oh well I'll just live without a temp monitor.

Thanks again @ozsouth we tried.

[tammi806]

Thanks to whoever changed the thread title I'm horrible at creating a proper title and writing.

[tammi806]

Is this actual temps or just coincidence.
Could my temps actually be that low.
That's a head scratchier.
I'm confused.

@tammi806 - unless you're in Alaska at midnight, those figures are not indicative. Another temp .pet could work. Uninstall that previous one. There are others to try, which use other data locations. You would have to try each.
Maybe this one: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=3915#p3915
Not sure if you should use bionic64 or slacko64 one. @BarryK can advise on that (& maybe compile the source to suit).

[tammi806]

@ozsouth

Yeah those temps seem a bit unreal.

When I first installed the temp monitor you gave me the link for I didn't think it worked for Easy OS or my desktop.

Then I decided to look at Pup System info and noticed the numbers were the same which got me wondering.

Yes I will definitely play around with some different temp monitors and I'll see if Barry K can give me some input about what's going on here.

I appreciate your help and advice.

Thanks.

PS I'm not in Alaska way to cold there for these old bones.

Wow what a blast through the past the search took me back to the old forum some threads were dated 2019.

It was some interesting reading and I tried several of the temp monitors.
Although they appeared to install I could not get them to open or run.

A few of the listed links in one thread took me to a website for sale.

I did learn quite a lot about finding and removing leftovers of installed and removed software using pFind file finder.

Back to where we started no damage done and what I use is working good.

Thanks for all of your input @ozsouth.
