Does anyone know an easy way to see your temps in Knoppix?
If so, please post
I think my system might be getting devilishly hot and the BIOS has no temp readings (yeah it's old)
...there is not an easy way...in Knoppix CD it is impossible.
lm_sensors must be installed and kernel must be patched and then recompiled
ksensor is only a gui front-end for lm_sensors.
--I dunno about Knoppix, but I'm using CPUCool in Win98.

First do the following at link below.

Second do the following code:
Code:apt-get -t unstable install ksensors apt-get install hddtemp apt-get install i2c-source lm-sensors lm-sensors-source
Third - go to /usr/src and move lm-sensors.tar.gz to /home/knoppix/tmp
DON'T EXTRACT lm-sensors.tar.gz IN /usr/src !!!
Also don't use lm-sensors from there Web Site, it is missing some i2c modules - use apt-get install lm-sensors-source !
Fourth - Copy lm-sensors to /usr/local and Compile: make all | su to root and make install
Fifth - Run sensors-detect [root] - Follow direction's, don't worry if it can't load some modules (Say no to i2c-riva, NEVER load it - it will Screw up your Kernel) at the end it will give directions to get modules to load after rebooting.
Sixth - Configure KSensors to show temps, voltages, etc. IF they don't show, try
insmod i2c-dev or modprobe i2c-dev - OR/AND rerun sensors-detect and at:
If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the
I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)?
Select ISA (NOTE: If you have no ISA slots like my motherboard - There STILL is an ISA BUS
on you Motherboard !!!)
Mine is running OK ...
UPDATE
Also install the following:
Also ksensors_alert.wav was not included in install, download the following.Code:apt-get install libsensors-dev

Concerning HDD Temp, cd /usr/sbin and hddtemp /dev/<your hdd>
SUID bit of hddtemp file must by set, type:
chmod +s hddtemp
WARNING: Setting suid bit can be a security flaw.
/usr/sbin# hddtemp /dev/hdg
WARNING: Drive /dev/hdg doesn't appear in the database of supported drives
WARNING: But using a common value, it reports something.
WARNING: Note that the temperature shown could be wrong.
WARNING: See --help, --debug and --drivebase options.
WARNING: And don't forget you can add your drive to hddtemp.db
/dev/hdg: Maxtor 4D040H2: 0 C or F
Uncomment Maxtor 4D040H2 in /etc/hddtemp.db and you get the following.
/usr/sbin# hddtemp /dev/hdg
/dev/hdg: Maxtor 4D040H2: known drive, but it doesn't have a temperature sensor.
Yes, but how do you remaster it so it can work on the Live CD? Someone give me a patched kernel that can be run on the CD!
I relaize the users would still need to configure lm-sensors each time they boot....
Why can't the im-sensor configs be saved with all the Knoppix configs when you save your Knoppix configs?
It's not really that. It's that the kernel has certain limitations when you're booting from CD, and it needs the i2c support. I don;t know how to go about installing i2c in the kernel without fubarring its ability to be booted from the CD.
I'd have to make a script that saved your lm-sensors configuration while running off the CD- they are kept in /etc not in /home/knopppix, so persistent home won't work.
But following this procedure after a hdd-install should work just fine.
I don't use pesistant home but I use the saved configs after each session and it picks up where I left off when I use the 'knoppix myconfig=scan' cheat code.
