Public bug reported: I was in doubt if post this report in virtualbox package or lm-sensors, so I decided to post it in Ubuntu. The problem is that testing Karmic in virtualbox no sensors are detected.
This is what I get from terminal: o...@blackdiamond-desktop:~# sensors-detect # sensors-detect revision 5249 (2008-05-11 22:56:25 +0200) This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): yes Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:07.0: Intel 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-piix4' already loaded. If you have undetectable or unsupported I2C/SMBus adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no): yes Module loaded successfully. We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): yes Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): yes Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... No Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... No Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers may also contain embedded sensors. Do you want to scan for them? (YES/no): yes Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No AMD K8 thermal sensors... No AMD K10 thermal sensors... No Intel Core family thermal sensor... No Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No Sorry, no sensors were detected. Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not supported. See http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3 for further information. If you find out what chips are on your board, check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver status. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- command sensors-detect use to find me the AMD K8 sensors in a "non-virtualbox" system. The "error" persist also with Juanty always in virtualbox.
