temp. monitor and "shades" in konsole

[rdeschene]

To help make my Linux "more perfect" I would like a utility that allows me to monitor my CPU/case temperature from within KDE. For that matter, a command line tool is fine too.

Also, when I su - root and ls, the directories are shaded differently than the files. This is very nice. I do NOT get this shading in my "user" konsole. Any ideas where to set this?

Thanks,
Rick D.

Check root's .bashrc file. ls is aliased with a colour command. Simply put that same alias into your .bashrc file and then logout and log back in and it will do the same thing.

Hmmm. Well, I don't have a bashrc file, however, I do have a konsolerc file for the user and root.

Comparing the two files hasn't led me to find pertinent difference, as I only see the "coloured directories" when I su - root in the user console. If I fire up a root console, I don't see that. Oh well, I'll keep on trying to find that configuration file.
