Hello All.
I thought I'd share my handy integration of LM Sensors and GKreLLM into the light!
How It Will Work:-
Open GNOME CC (or in Preferences menu) and click on 'LM Sensors Configuration'.
This will run the 'lm-sensors-config' plus 'lm-sensors-terminal' scripts.
You will be presented with a console running the 'sensors-detect' program. Following instructions to probe hardware
and create '/etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors' file.
GKreLLM should now be running on your desktop. Enter GKreLLM preferences to add newly found sensors (temp etc)
as required.
##############
1) Create the following file (lm_sensors.desktop) in /usr/share/applications:-
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Exec=lm-sensors-config
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
Name[en_GB]=LM Sensors Configuration
Name=LM Sensors Configuration
Comment[en_GB]=Set up LM Sensors to monitor CPU temps and more
Comment=Set up LM Sensors to monitor CPU temps and more
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/cpufreq-applet/cpufreq-na.png
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Settings;HardwareSettings;X-MandrivaLinux-System-Configuration-GNOME;
....................................................................................
2) Create the following bash script (lm-sensors-config) in /usr/local/bin :-
#!/bin/bash
gksu -l lm-sensors-terminal
gkrellm &
exit
....................................................................................
3) Create the following bash script (lm-sensors-terminal) in /usr/local/bin :-
#!/bin/bash
gnome-terminal -e sensors-detect
exit
....................................................................................
4) Create the following auto start file (gkrellm-startup) in /etc/skel/.config/autostart (copy to existing user also) :-
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/gkrellm
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_GB]=GKreLLM
Name=GKreLLM
Comment[en_GB]=Display hardware vital signs
Comment=Display hardware vital signs
....................................................................................
Don't forget to make bash scripts executable!
chmod x <script>
..................GKreLLM Configuration....................
To create a global configuration that includes theme and other specifics,
the following should be considered:-
Play around with GKreLLM until satisfied then copy the hidden folder '.gkrellm2'
to /etc/skel.
Enter the copied '.gkrellm2' folder and delete the 'sensor config' file if a live cd
remaster is being created. Also delete 'etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors' file too.
If a personal live cd backup is being created and/or you
are not using your installation on different hardware keep the files as is.
To see a screen shot of my GKreLLM in action:-
Go to photobucket (.com) and search for 'PCLinuxOS Gnome #'
Here is my GKreLLM user-config file:-
