LM Sensors And Live CD Auto Detect?
« on: June 05, 2010, 04:28:27 AM »
Hello All.
I currently have lm sensors and gkrellm working beautifully on my desktop. I have a question though..
If I remastered my installation, would lm sensors/gkrellm still work if the live cd was used on different PC
hardware (i.e. motherboard,CPU,GPU)?

I am curious as I had to run 'sensors-detect' for it to find the correct kernel modules. It worked fine, but
how does this fare when auto detecting hardware on live cd boot up?
Will lm sensors appear dead on hardware different to my own?

Thanks!

 :D

Think you have to rerun sensors-detect on another desktop/laptop.
Most motherboards have a different sensor chip on-board.
Even it's possible it can change on every revision (same motherboard type, later build).

I feared as much. Lol
No worries though. I'll knock up a (very) simple bash script and '.desktop' file to create a
menu driven solution.  :)
