There seems to be no standard way of reading sensor information. This
requires installing an extra package (lm-sensors) and some manual
configuration. Without that information available, a checkbox test for
fans is impossible to write; further, since it would require the user
first installing lm-se
Flavio, I'll check the temperature with 'sensors' in future. The five
or so Ubuntu systems I've installed (8.04, 10.04) do seem to demand less
processor time than the XP or Vista or 7 system hat was already
installed, and seem quicker and faster to respond. But that is before
any demanding applic
Automatically re-run tests while changing the OS-reported ACPI_OSI could
be useful...

"sensors" package,

Thanks for reporting this. I've tagged it as 'new-test' so we can track
it.
