lm sensors

[dalek]

I need help getting lm_sensors to work. I ran sensor-detect but when I go into gkrellm it says "no sensors detected". I noticed one thing. When sensor-detect was done I couldn't find the files to add the info too. The cut and paste part with the modules.
Could someone walk me through this thing. I think everything is installed.
I'm using Mandrake 9.1 with a ABIT NF7 mobo.
I'll tinker aroung a bit to see if I get lucky. That seems to be what happened with some of the other folks.
Thanks much for the help! ! !

I decided to shutdown and restart the puter. I got to thinking about it loading the modules when it boots. I rarely shutdown, unless there is a storm or power problem. It started to working somewhat. It says on one of the sensors it's 406 degrees. I know things get hot in there but whew!.
Anybody know what sensor three is? I'll be reading the freaking manual. It's in japaneese or something. May take me a while.

Thanks for the read anyway.

Reboot after making module changes!!!! It helps.

:D :D :D

It's working now. Restarting was the key.
BTW there is no sensor three. I looked at the pictures. It has RT1 and RT2 and thats all.
This has turned out to be a better rig than I thought.

I had to reinstall OS and now I have a problem. Actually two. The first one is when I shutdown I get a error message. It's quick but I did get this much. It's in the file etc/rc0.d "k97lm_sensors" line 73. It says to use command expr to get help. I can't make sense of this commands help file. I looked at the /etc/rc0.d file and this is the part that has problems:
modules=`grep \^MODULE_ $CONFIG | wc -l`
i=`expr$Pmodules`
while [ $i -ge 0 ] ; do
module=`eval echo '$'MODULE_$i`
/sbin/modprobe -r $module &>/dev/null
i=`expr $i - 1`
done
The line, line 73, that actually gives the error is "while [ $i -ge 0 ] ; do". If someone has lm_sensor installed could you find this line and see if it is the same. Does anybody know how to use the command "expr". I entered the command expr$Pmodules as above and it did not like the command. That may be the problem?

Second problem. If my system sets idle for a while gkrellm reports that the CPU fan is at 0 rpms. I looked it is spinning and the cpu temp is OK. Why does it say it's not turning and how do I fix it. If I start a proc, it comes on at about 2600 rpm. I suspect that there is a minimum speed setting somewhere but I can't find it.

I really need help on the first problem, the second would be nice. Maybe that Thermaltake Volcano 11 cooler is doing to good of a job. So far the max temp is 104 degrees at 100% for about 3 to 4 minutes.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you have another startup/shutdown script that has similar content of which you can compare the lm_sensors script with?

See if there are any known bugs with lm_sensors and gkrellm. That could be one of them

www.gkrellm.net

startup/shutdown script ???? What's this?
I was wondering if the error message is in a log somewhere. I went to Mandrake Control Center, clicked on system and log. I tried to search for the error but can't find anything. Is there a log somewhere that would have the error? The error may have the answer.

I went to the website and didn't find anything on my rpm problem. I did find out where the name came from. I wonder about where some of the names come from in Linux.
Thanks.

:D :D :confused: :D

The startup/shutdown scripts in /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d/init.d.

Anything in the gkrellm lm_sensors options?

I E-mailed the guy at gkrellm and got some info about the fan speed problem. He sent me some info to fix it giving me a "0" speed.
I still get the error about "expr" when shutting down. I uninstalled and reinstalled but still working on it. It's funny that when I installed the first time, before I had to reinstall the OS, it didn't give the error at shutdown.
I'll keep working on it. Post back later.

:D :D :D

I e-mailed lm_sensors and it was a script error on Mandrake's rpm. I replaced expr command on line 72 and no more error.
I think my sensors are A OK now.
BTW. mdwatts: I couldn't find another script quite like the one I was having problems with.
The reason I didn't have the problem the first time is because I installed from the tar.gz file.downloaded, instead of the rpm from Mandrake CD's.

Thanks for the help.
