GNOME Sensors Applet <http://sensors-applet.sourceforge.net/>
Author: Alex Murray <murray.alex@gmail.com>
GNOME Sensors Applet is an applet for the GNOME Panel to display
readings from hardware sensors, including CPU temperature, fan speeds
and voltage readings under Linux.
Supported interfaces:
* ACPI thermal zones, via the Linux kernel ACPI modules
* Linux kernel i2c[1] modules (for kernel 2.6).
* lm_sensors[1] and i2c[1] packages (for kernel 2.4)
* libsensors[1] (provided by lm_sensors package)
* Linux kernel i8k[2] module (for Dell Inspiron Laptops).
* Linux kernel ibm-acpi[3] module
* Linux kernel PowerPC modules therm_adt746x and therm_windtunnel.
* Linux kernel iMac G5 Windfarm module.
* hddtemp[4] daemon for reading temperatures from S.M.A.R.T. equipped disks.
* Linux kernel Omnibook[5] module.
* NVIDIA graphics cards via libNVCtrl (supplied with nvidia-settings[6])
* Linux kernel sonypi[7] module (for Sony Vaio laptops)
Includes a simple, yet highly customizable display and intuitive
user-interface.
Alarms can be set for each sensor to notify the user once a certain
high or low value has been reached, and can be configured to execute a
given command at given repeated intervals.
GNOME HIG v2.0 compliant
libnotify[8] support for alarm conditions

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements
* GNOME 2.8 desktop environment, with GTK >=2.4.0 and libpanelapplet-2
* For ACPI support:
o Linux kernel 2.6 with ACPI modules loaded (CONFIG_ACPI &
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL)
* For i2c support:
o Linux kernel 2.6 with appropriate i2c modules loaded OR
o Linux kernel 2.4 with lm_sensors and i2c packages installed
o libsensors support is available for either of the above (will
utilise settings in /etc/sensors.conf
* For i8k support:
o Linux kernel 2.6 with i8k module enabled ("Support for
Dell laptops" (CONFIG_I8K))
* For ibm-acpi support:
o Linux kernel >=2.6.10 with ibm-acpi module enabled
(CONFIG_IBM_ACPI)
* For PowerPC support:
o Linux kernel 2.6 with the therm_adt746x ("Support for
thermal management on laptops with ADT 746x chipset"
(THERM_ADT746X)) or therm_windtunnel ("Support for thermal
management on Windtunnel G4s" (THERM_WINDTUNNEL)) module
enabled
* For iMac G5 and other G5s support:
o Linux kernel 2.6 with the Windfarm ("Support for thermal
management on iMac G5" (WINDFARM_PM81)) module enabled
* For hddtemp support:
o hddtemp running in daemon mode
* For Omnibook support:
o Linux kernel 2.6 with the Omnibook module
* For NVIDIA graphics cards support:
o NVIDIA binary driver with libNVCtrl installed (provided
with the nvidia-settings utility) (to enable support GNOME
Sensors Applet needs to be configured with the --with-nvidia
flag)
* For sonypi support:
o Linux kernel 2.6 with sonypi module enabled ("Sony Vaio
Programmable I/O Control Device support" (CONFIG_SONYPI))
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu and most standard distro users will need to do a
./configure --prefix=/usr
to ensure proper installation within the correct path.
To enable support for NVIDIA GPUs GNOME Sensors Applet requires the
standard X11 headers as well as libNVCtrl (supplied by nvidia-settings),
and needs to be compiled with support for NVIDIA GPUs as:
./configure --with-nvidia
If your X11 headers are in a non-standard location, these can also be
specified as:
./configure --with-nvidia --with-x11=PATH_TO_X11_LIBRARIES
where PATH_TO_X11_LIBRARIES is the path to your X11 libraries
(such as /usr/include/X11), although in most cases this should not
be needed.
