No Folders or Files Under /proc/acpi/thermal_zone ??? (SOLVED)!!!

[mhumm2]

Hello;

I'm trying to modify a Superkaramba script and I discovered the subject problem (bug?). I was under the impression that the subject directory should contain files relavant to my CPU's tempurature including a high and low temp event triggers (trip points). Where are these folders and files? Please advise.

Thanks to everyone who contributed. I have Superkaramba doing exactly what I want it to do. Thanks.

Maybe there isn't acpi support ? (your hardware ?)

I'm using lm-sensors.
lm-sensors - utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors

Lm-sensors is a hardware health monitoring package for Linux. It allows you
to access information from temperature, voltage, and fan speed sensors. It
works with most newer systems.

This package contains programs to help you set up and read data from
lm-sensors.

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

Here it was easy. After i installed lm-sensors:

sudo sensors-detect

and

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

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
i2c-nforce2
# Chip drivers
asb100
#----cut here----

Do you want to add these lines to /etc/modules automatically? (yes/NO)

Reading sensor outputs:

:~$ sensors

Note
Here lm-sensors outputs are a bit buggy:
CPU Temp is M/B Temp and fan rpm's are too high (2x).

Rog131;

Thanks for the info. Okay, I already had lm-sensors installed and since my original post, I've run the config and auto - loaded the module scripts and rebooted the system. Every thing works and ~$ sensors gives me some weird readings.

The last tempurature is the only one that fluctuates like I would expect a CPU temp to do as load is applied and removed.

I have an AMD Athlon 2200+ XP processor installed.

CPU Temp (Intel) seems to stay at 93C

CPU Temp (AMD) seems to stay at 77C So which CPU Temp is actually the M/B, AMD or Intel?

Here's my last question... and it's a biggy! What is the script (using grep, awk, and sed) to get any desired text from sensors output to my customized superkaramba theme?

sensor=program program="sensors | grep "temp:" | awk '{print $1, $2}' | sed

I've read through the man pages for grep, awk, and sed. Needless to say, I'm overwhelmed at this point. That was like taking a drink from a fire hose on full!!! :-X

Thanks.

About sensors:
man sensors tells:

NAME
sensors - print sensors information

SYNOPSIS
sensors [ options ] [ chips ]
sensors -s [ options ] [ chips ]

DESCRIPTION
sensors is used to show the current readings of all sensor chips.
sensors -s is used to set all limits as specified in the configuration
file.

sensors knows about certain chips, and outputs nicely formatted read‐
ings for them; but it can also display the information of unknown
chips, as long as libsensors knows about them.

OPTIONS
-c config-file
Specify a configuration file. If no file is specified,
‘/etc/sensors.conf’ is used. Use ‘-c /dev/null’ to temporarily
disable this default configuration file.

=> sensors reads /etc/sensors.conf

sensors.conf = Sensors configuration file used by 'libsensors'

I have Asus A7N8X-E and sensors.conf tells:

# Most Asus boards have temperatures settled like that:
label temp1 "M/B Temp"
label temp2 "CPU Temp"
# However, some boards have them swapped (A7N8X Deluxe rev.2,
# A7N8X-E Deluxe rev.2, CUV4X):
# label temp1 "CPU Temp"
# label temp2 "M/B Temp"

=> To me M/B Temp is CPU Temp (with default configuration file).

Note

# Premade configurations for other boards can be found at:
# http://www.lm-sensors.org/trac/wiki/Configurations/
# If your motherboard isn't listed there and you create a configuration for it
# please add it there.

With SuperKaramba it is easiest to use

:~$ sensors -c /dev/null

Here it tells:

alarms:

To me:
=> CPU temp = temp1
=> CPU fan = fan1

temp2...temp4 are garbage. I don't think that my MB have more than one temperature sensor (where is that manual... ).

=>
CPU tempereature:

:~$ sensors -c /dev/null | awk '/temp1:/ { print $2 }'

+48°C

for SK

sensor=program program="sensors -c /dev/null | awk '/temp1:/ { print $2 }' "

Note
SK bar-command does not understand +48°C
=> removing + and °C solves that:

:~$ sensors -c /dev/null | awk '/temp1:/ { print $2 }' | tr -d +°C

48

for SK

sensor=program program="sensors -c /dev/null | awk '/temp1:/ { print $2 }' | tr -d +°C"

man tr

TR(1) User Commands TR(1)

NAME
tr - translate or delete characters

SYNOPSIS
tr [OPTION]... SET1 [SET2]

DESCRIPTION
Translate, squeeze, and/or delete characters from standard input, writ‐
ing to standard output.

-c, -C, --complement
first complement SET1

-d, --delete
delete characters in SET1, do not translate

-s, --squeeze-repeats
replace each input sequence of a repeated character that is
listed in SET1 with a single occurrence of that character

-t, --truncate-set1

and for CPU fan:

:~$ sensors -c /dev/null | awk ' /fan1:/ {print $2/2}'

Note
I'm dividing it.

for SK

sensor=program program="sensors -c /dev/null | awk '/fan1:/ {print $2/2}' "

Seems to work

Re: No Folders or Files Under /proc/acpi/thermal_zone

my thermal zone folder is also empty..

no other problems with acpi, and it has always been enabled in BIOS..
