Just wondering how to check temperature on my desktop. On a laptop I use "acpi -V" to see the temperaute.
I was checking my desktop's(running Debian Sarge and kernel 2.6.9) motherboard's specs and notice it could be supporting temperature sensors. However, the boot log in /var/log/sys shows:
ACPI: Processor [CPU] (supports C1) ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF]
and those are the only two lines containing ACPI. What does mean?
I have these modules loaded: thermal fan... button processor ac battery
In /proc/acpi the following directories are emtpy(didn't check the others): thermal_zone fan ac_adapter and others
This is what I get when I try to get information: $> acpi -V No support for device type: thermal
So, how do I go about checking my CPU's(see below) temperature? And how do I confirm that my desktop really supports temperature reading?

Use sensord/sensors in user space and, I2C/LMsensors, in your kernel. ACPI isn't relevant, afaik.
Yup, that worked. Installed: gkrellm gkrellm-common hddtemp ksensors librrd0 lm-sensors sensord
which gave the error during dpkg setup:
Starting sensor daemon: sensordError -4 loading sensors configuration file: /etc/sensors.conf
But this problem was solved after running sensors-detect (which I guess set up all sensord related stuff).
Thanks, ->HS
