Raspup 8.2.1
Raspberry Pi 400 computer
Basically a Pi 4, so this may work on other Pi computers.

Puppy Package Manager(PPM)
Do a search for pmcputemp.
It should find pmcputemp-0.72-armv7l_rb82.pet
Downlaod and install it.

To get it to auto load and run on startup.
There is a pmcputemp.desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/
Open pmcputemp.desktop file in a text editor.
change the line

Code: Select all

Exec=pmcputemp

To:

Code: Select all

Exec=/usr/bin/pmcputemp

Reboot and save.
Should now have CPU temp reading in the tray.

Note:
The Pi 400 has a huge heat sink (no fan) and usually runs from 37 to 41 or so, depending on what you are doing.
If you have a Pi 2, 3, 4, etc.... They will probably run hotter. Unless you got some good cooling setup.

Works nicely in my Puppy phone.(raspberry 3B).

Thank's Bigpup.
