Sensor Limits Problem (Great Solution - thanks)

[Nibiruet]

During boot up I get a message stating that the sensor limits could not be set; gives a "fail" response in the boot process listing.

How can I fix this? What would causes this to happen?

Re: Sensor Limits Problem

What happens when you type in konsole:

1)sensors

2)sudo sensors -s
(Evaluates all ‘set’ statements in the configuration file.)

Do you have /etc/sensors.conf ?

More:
1)man sensors

2)sudo sensors-detect
(Detects sensors - gives you information what to add to /etc/modules to make the sensors modules behave correctly)

Thanks for reply. Here is the whole 9 yards!

root@p4custom:~# sensors
No sensors found!
root@p4custom:~# sudo sensors -s
No sensors found!
root@p4custom:~# sudo sensors-detect
No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them.
root@p4custom:~# prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh
-su: prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh: No such file or directory

Sorry! - Forgot to mention that sensors.conf file is there and has a whole lot of stuff., Too much to reproduce here but from my Linux ignorant stand point appears to be the genuine McCoy

D'oh ?

Maybe these help:

Sensors FAQ for lm_sensors version 2.18
http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/...nsors-FAQ.html

Check:
4.21 Sensors says No sensors found!
and
4.24.3 Sensors-detect doesn't find any sensors!

HOW TO: Install and configure lm-sensors
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780

How i did it:

1) Install lm-sensors
(utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors)

Note
I installed also ksensors.
(lm-sensors frontend for KDE)

2) sudo sensors-detect

says that:

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules:

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers

and so on...

3) So i added lines

4) Reboot

Re: Sensor Limits Problem

Thanks a lot. Got it running just right and so glad to see the CPU temp now as well as the fan revs. Running a P4 Prescott which runs really hot.
