@JWicks
Look at /etc/sensors.conf, you should be able to adjust temperature values there.
@christsong84
Is smbus-arp in 2.6 present already? I don't remember... Please check this first, otherwise let us see the relevant parts of your dmesg, perhaps this will clear up things.

ah...perhaps that's the problem...I did a locate smbus and didn't find smbus-arp anywhere (except in the lmsensors documentation but I don't tihnk that counts)

Just found this threat, and could get it run in notime 
I have a mobo with SiS 735 chipset, this is the output of sensors:
| Code: | it87-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1: +1.77 V (min = +1.53 V, max = +1.87 V)
VCore 2: +2.44 V (min = +2.25 V, max = +2.75 V)
+3.3V: +6.42 V (min = +2.96 V, max = +3.60 V) ALARM
+5V: +4.89 V (min = +4.50 V, max = +5.48 V)
+12V: +12.00 V (min = +11.36 V, max = +13.80 V)
-12V: -1.59 V (min = -15.86 V, max = -13.40 V) ALARM
-5V: +2.29 V (min = -10.13 V, max = -9.44 V) ALARM
Stdby: +4.94 V (min = +4.50 V, max = +5.48 V)
VBat: +3.36 V
fan1: 5400 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)
fan2: 0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) ALARM
fan3: 0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) ALARM
M/B Temp: +36°C (low = +20°C, high = +60°C) sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp: +8°C (low = +20°C, high = +60°C) sensor = invalid
Temp3: +48°C (low = +20°C, high = +60°C) sensor = thermistor |
Looks like I can trust the temperature reading of M/B Temp and Temp3 (which has to be the CPU Temp).
As you can see, some readings are wrong. I already took a look at the sensors.conf, but I am totally lost there.
Maybe someone has a clue how to correct the readings for the SiS 735 ???
The other thing:
I'd like to have the temperature readings posted to a webpage, so that I can check on these data using a webbrowser (apache2 is running on this machine). Can someone please tell me how to manage this in a simple way ???
It's about a webserver with an AMD Duron 1300 CPU, which is located in a small closet (due to the noise, this machine is pretty loud, it has two SCSI HDDs with 10.000 RPM). The temperature inside this closet is about 20°C, when the computer is switched off, and about 33-34°C with the computer running. I want to put another 3 computers inside this closet, and I need to be able to watch mobo- and CPU temperature on these.

|
|
Hi JWicks,
the temperatures are "nearly" correct (somehow) with a Asus A7M266.
I have such a board.
lm-sensors computes temperatures by factor 10 to high (at least version 2.8.4 in conjunction with a A7M266)
So your output of the command 'sensors' means:
M/B Temp: +300°C -> 30.0°C (of course no real, accurate value)
CPU Temp: +490.0°C -> 49.0°C (of course no real, accurate value)
BTW pretty "nice" values. Mine are idle 33°C Mainboard and 54°C CPU. But this "has" to be, at least because i estimate my little Barton CPU hack has a significant higher thermal load. 
*Older* lm-sensors versions did the job right, regarding the calculation of the temperatures of a A7M266 (at least on my system). So this misbehavior is a relative new quirk! [Please, read my update statement below.]

Everything looks like its working and in the right value range,
except for the temp sensors.

You can manually correct this misbehavior in /etc/sensors.conf --> entry as99127f-* (or direct in the configuration settings of the possible GUI client - for example ksensors or gkrellm2). If you use older versions of lm-sensors than 2.8.4 the responsible entry in /etc/sensors.conf could have other names - for example w83782d.
Concretely, a example for the MoBo temp compute line:
compute temp1 @/10, @*10
More information in the readme header of /etc/sensors.conf
BTW: The third temperature value in your printout belongs to a not connected temperature sensor on the motherboard. The name of the connector on the MoBo is JTPWR. Asus defines this as the possibility of a temperature sensor for the PSU. You can hook up your own "usual in the trade" foil temperature sensor there, if you want. Then you will also get proper readings on this value slot.
UPDATE:
Just installed lm-sensors 2.8.5. It seems to me, that this version corrects the problem with the factor 10 to high reporting of temperatures on the Asus A7M266, at least on my system! -> So, just unmask and install lm-sensors 2.8.5 if you don't have to fear problems with your tv/video-equipment (e.g. bttv). It could/should somehow be helpful in some way.

Looks like temp_input1 is cpu, temp_input2 is the mobo, and I have no idea what temp_input3 is but its probably wrong too.
|
Regarding /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*: (contrariwise)
temp_input1 is MoBo*1000, temp_input2 is CPU*500, and temp_input3 is not defined as long there is no real sensor connected (JTPWR).
So you will get MoBo temp with (temp_input1 div 1000)
and CPU temp with 2*(temp_input2 div 1000).
Okay, that was redundant.

Look at the green "compute line" above in the text (and read the header of /etc/sensors.conf, especially the paragraph "compute lines", it should be there).
BTW Aware of the fact, in which bad manner such motherboards reads the cpu temperature, Asus decided that the BIOS has to report at least 10°C above the value results of the (otherwise) usual measuring procedure. Just now i can't prove this statement nor name a source, but i remember that i read that once a time on some scattered Asus support pages. But, of course you are interpreting the temperature readings at your very own risk! YMMV
Maybe this was kind of useful in some way

To the same machine, or will another machine be the webserver?
Basically just write a simple shell script that runs the sensors app, wraps it with html tags, and toss it to a file.
like:
#!/bin/sh
MYSTUFF=`sensors`
echo '<html><body>' > /tmp/myhtmlpage.tmp
echo MYSTUFF >> /tmp/myhtmlpage.tmp
echo '</body></html>' >> /tmp/myhtmlpage.tmp
mv /tmp/myhtmlpage.tmp /var/www/localhost/htdocs/index.html
of course, that's if it's on the local machine. If it's on another machine, you'll need to setup either ftp, or scp. |

Thank's arkane, I thought of such a quick and dirty solution, but in the meanwhile I did a complete reinstall on this machine, and I left out the sensor part, as I came to the conclusion, that it simply gets to hot in that closet, so I moved the server to another room, where no temperature issues are no more.

Hmm any help on that?
I use lm_sensors CVS with 2.6.4-mm1, and I have no problems. Sensors show correct values (AMD266-D)
as99127f-i2c-0-2d
Adapter: SMBus AMD756 adapter at e4e0
VCore 1: +1.66 V (min = +1.44 V, max = +1.86 V)
VCore 2: +1.66 V (min = +1.44 V, max = +1.86 V)
+3.3V: +3.31 V (min = +2.96 V, max = +3.63 V)
+5V: +4.97 V (min = +4.49 V, max = +5.51 V)
+12V: +12.10 V (min = +9.55 V, max = +14.41 V)
-12V: -3.43 V (min = -4.07 V, max = -0.32 V)
-5V: -0.75 V (min = -1.76 V, max = -0.82 V)
fan1: 4856 RPM (min = 42187 RPM, div = 2)
fan2: 5000 RPM (min = -1 RPM, div = 2)
fan3: 3068 RPM (min = -1 RPM, div = 2)
M/B Temp: +25�C (high = +0�C, hyst = +2�C)
CPU Temp: +39.0�C (high = +100�C, hyst = +75�C) (beep)
temp3: +40.5�C (high = +85�C, hyst = +75�C)
vid: +1.650 V
alarms:
beep_enable:
Sound alarm enabled
Looks great. BUT if I start gkrellm, the temperatures are not correct, they always display around 20-30 degress, while the output of sensors is correct and shows higher values.
Any idea? It must be something with gkrellm, but I dont know what else to do. |

I've got w83781d, i2c-isa, via868a, i2c-sensor and i2c-core loaded.
I do have some sensors now, but they don't do anything...
I get a constant 33 temperature on my CPU and a constant 29 temperature on my mainboard. Even when compiling a kernel or something like that.
It did jump around while I was still using 2.4.x a while ago. Does it just make up these readings?

Hi all,
Can't seem to pull any version of lm-sensors above 2.8.1 from portage.
Contents of /etc/portage/profile/package.unmask (my package.mask was in this profiles directory so i placed package.unmask here too.. doesn't work eith though if I place it at /usr/portage/package.unmask)
| Code: |
# allow lm_sensors userspace programs for kernel 2.6
=sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.5
|
Trying emerge with
| Code: |
#ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge =lm-sensors-2.8.5
|
Get the following message
| Code: |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=lm-sensors-2.8.5" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.5 (masked by: package.mask)
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

Any ideas? |

Hi,
Been playing with this for the last couple of hours, compiled 4 kernels already  finally getting some results.
Right now I can get the temp reading that are on LM90 (socket and diode) but not the fan, case and voltage reading.
My mobo is a Soltek SL75 FRN2 L (nForce2) it use (under windows w/ MBM5) :
Sensor chip :W83697HF
Case temp : Winbond 1
LM90 (remote) for diode + LM90 (local) for socket
Kernel version is 2.6.3-gentoo-r1, last compilation I included this :
I2C Support (*)
I2C Device interface (*)
I2C Algo (M) for both choice
I2C Hardware bus support -->
AMD 756/766 (M)
ISA Bus Support (M)
Nvidia nForce (M)
I2C Hardware sensors chip
National semiconductor LM75, LM78, LM83, LM85, LM90 (all as modules)
Winbond (both choice as modules, since I didn't know which I needed for my case temp.)
All went well when compiling and installing modules. I ran sensors got no sensors found. Umerged lm_sensors and emerged the latest version (2.8.5)
Loaded it :
| Code: |
root@neon jf # /etc/init.d/lm_sensors start
* Loading lm_sensors modules...
* Loading i2c-nforce2... [ ok ] * Loading i2c-isa... [ ok ] * Loading adm1021... [ !! ]
* Loading lm90... [ ok ] * Loading eeprom... [ !! ]
* Loading w83627hf... [ !! ]
|
Now "sensors" output :
| Code: | lm90-i2c-3-4c
Adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 5000
M/B Temp: +37�C (low = +0�C, high = +70�C)
CPU Temp: +42.2�C (low = +0.0�C, high = +70.0�C)
M/B Crit: +85�C (hyst = +75�C)
CPU Crit: +80�C (hyst = +70�C)
|
Configured gkrellm2, worked like a charm for those sensors...
Only thing I would like to have now is my fans sensors and my case temps. I don't care much about voltage, but it would be a nice addition
| Code: | root@neon linux # sensors-detect
This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to
load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and
lm_sensors installed before running this program.
Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-*
files, for most things.
If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can
safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may
seem a bit confusing, but they will still work.
We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
You do not need any special privileges for this.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): y
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-nforce2' for device 00:01.1: nVidia Corporation nForce2 SMBus (MCP)
Probe succesfully concluded.
We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `i2c-nforce2' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): y
FATAL: Module i2c_nforce2 already in kernel.
Loading failed... skipping.
Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO): y
Load `i2c-elektor' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): y
FATAL: Module i2c_elektor not found.
Loading failed... skipping.
Load `i2c-elv' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): y
FATAL: Module i2c_elv not found.
Loading failed... skipping.
Load `i2c-philips-par' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): y
FATAL: Module i2c_philips_par not found.
Loading failed... skipping.
Load `i2c-velleman' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): y
FATAL: Module i2c_velleman not found.
Loading failed... skipping.
To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): y
FATAL: Module i2c_dev not found.
Loading failed, expect problems later on.
We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected;
we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can
specify that address to remain unprobed. That often
includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules.
Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus.
ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module
for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the
I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? ISA
If you want to load the modules at startup, generate a config file
below and make sure lm_sensors get started (eg. rc-update add lm_sensors default).
To make the sensor modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules.conf:
#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----end cut here----
WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above
will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should
try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly.
Monitoring programs won't work until it's done.
To load everything that is needed, execute the commands above...
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-nforce2
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe adm1021
modprobe eeprom
modprobe w83627hf
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----end cut here----
|
As you can see it detect a Winbond sensor at 0x290 but modprobe w83626HF say that it can't find it...I don't think I got the choice to compile it in my kernel or as a module...could it be that my kernel doesn't support it yet?
Thanks for any help or ideas...I'm a complete linux noob, only been using it for 2 weeks so pardon me if the solution is obvious

m1rage : try forcing the driver,
run i2cdetect
then i2cdetect n (where n is the number of ur chip - if it ISA u can skip this step)
run: modprobe w83781d force_w83627hf=bus,address (where bus was revealed in the previous step and address == n) if it is ISA bus==9191
try it now.. i hope it works... report please |

NOTE: Anyone who tries using LM Sensors in 2.6.5-rc1 or newer kernels will not be able to retrieve sensor data via libsensors... A patch needs to be applied to lm-sensors because the kernel devels decided to change the whole naming scheme for the drivers and data making libsensor request for data from a name that does not exist... This is noted in the kernels changelog:
| Quote: |
<khali@linux-fr.org>
[PATCH] I2C: update for sysfs-interface documentation
<khali@linux-fr.org>
[PATCH] I2C: rename sysfs files, part 1 of 2
Here it is. The associated libsensors patch is here:
http://jdelvare.net1.nerim.net/sensors/libsensors-sysfs-names-1.diff
(not applied yet, on purpose)
<khali@linux-fr.org>
[PATCH] I2C: rename sysfs files, part 2 of 2
Here is the second step of my sysfs renaming plan.
This one does the following renames (as I already announced on the
LKML):
temp<n>_hyst -> temp<n>_max_hyst or temp<n>_crit_hyst
sensor<n> -> temp<n>_type
pwm<n> -> fan<n>_pwm
pwm<n>_enable -> fan<n>_pwm_enable
vid -> in<n>_ref
The associated libsensors patch is here:
http://jdelvare.net1.nerim.net/sensors/libsensors-sysfs-names-2.diff
(not applied yet, on purpose)
Note that the w83781d part is a bit more complex, not only because it is
the only driver to require the 5 changes, but also because at some point
the macros assume that the internal variable names match the sysfs
names, so I had to change them too (better than rewriting the macros,
methinks).
For reference, here is the list of changes, by driver:
asb100:
hyst -> max_hyst (4)
pwm -> fan_pwm (1)
pwm_enable -> fan_pwm_enable (1)
vid -> in_ref (1)
fscher:
pwm -> fan_pwm (3)
gl518sm:
hyst -> max_hyst (1)
it87:
sensor -> temp_type (3)
lm75:
hyst -> max_hyst (1)
lm78:
hyst -> max_hyst (1)
vid -> in_ref (1)
lm85:
pwm -> fan_pwm (3)
pwm_enable -> fan_pwm_enable (3)
vid -> in_ref (1)
lm90:
hyst -> crit_hyst (2)
via686a:
hyst -> max_hyst (3)
w83781d:
hyst -> max_hyst (2)
sensor -> temp_type (3)
pwm -> fan_pwm (4)
pwm_enable -> fan_pwm_enable (1)
vid -> in_ref (1)
There's also a documentation update. There will be one more after that
(to make it more readable, no contents change), and a patch to lm83.c to
bring it to compliance with the (new) standard. (If you wonder why I did
not change it with the other drivers: because it was *already* not in
compliance with the old standard. There's some real work to do for this
one.)
|
It's really up to lm-sensors to get this patch in their source.
I thought i'd heads up those who don't know and plan on using 2.6.5-rc1 or newer using lm-sensors.

Thanks anarka! I tried what you said and now I have reading for everything that I have sensors for.
I've lost my lm_sensors output for some reason and don't have much time to work getting them back yet, but that should be easy since I got them to work once. At least my Winbond sensors are working now thanks to you!
EDIT : reboot messed things up
Ok, I followed the step I previously taken to get my other sensors to work and they are working now, but can't get the reading from the Winbond one again following your method that worked a few minutes ago...so there's obviously something I'm missing here.
Here's the output of a few things :
root@neon jf # sensors

sensors still output the following :
lm90-i2c-3-4c
Adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 5000
M/B Temp: +40�C (low = +0�C, high = +70�C)
CPU Temp: +45.8�C (low = +0.0�C, high = +70.0�C)
M/B Crit: +85�C (hyst = +75�C)
CPU Crit: +80�C (hyst = +70�C)
Now from what I understand (which is very little) the module for my Winbonds sensors are loaded but are not working anymore now that my others are?

Okie,
I got it now I think, thanks anarka for your reply. I added i2c-dev to my /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors manually and restarted lm_sensors and now the command "sensors" output everything. I was using the config file generated by sensors-detect prior to that.
For now it's working ok, now I'll reboot just to make sure I did it right 
----------------------------------------------
EDIT : I finally was able to reboot and keep my sensors (I know this sound trivial to many but not to me being a complete noob to linux and the whole modules thing. Just getting this to work helped me a lot in understanding better how the whole thing is working even though there's so much more to learn. Anyway, I thought I would post my config and how I got it to work resumed in a more concise post so that someone searching the forum would be able to get it to work more quickly, so here it goes :
Motherboard : Soltek 75FRN2
Controller : Nforce2
Sensors : LM90 (for CPU) and Winbonds (For case)
I compiled the relevant part of my kernel as follow :
| Code: |
# I2C support
#
CONFIG_I2C=y
CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=y
#
# I2C Algorithms
#
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=m
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOPCF=m
#
# I2C Hardware Bus support
#
CONFIG_I2C_AMD756=m
CONFIG_I2C_ISA=m
CONFIG_I2C_NFORCE2=m
#
# I2C Hardware Sensors Chip support
#
CONFIG_I2C_SENSOR=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_LM75=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_LM78=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_LM83=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_LM85=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_LM90=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_W83781D=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_W83L785TS=m
|
Then I emerged lm-sensors 2.8.5 which was masked. I ran sensors-detect to generate a working /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors
Then started lm_sensors
/etc/init.d/lm_sensors start
With that when running "sensors" I would get the reading from the lm90 sensors (CPU diode and socket)
I then followed anarka's tips and did :
i2cdetect which returned 2 sensors at address 5100.
i2cdetect 0 did it's stuff, i2cdetect 1 did it's stuff (not sure what though, but it seemed to probe the sensor, anarka?)
Then :
modprobe w83781d force_w83627hf=5100,0
modprobe w83781d force_w83627hf=5100,1
Now all sensors should be working using "sensors"
Now I edited my /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors to keep only what I knew I needed
| Code: |
MODULE_0=i2c-nforce2
MODULE_1=i2c-isa
MODULE_2=lm90
MODULE_3=w83781d
|
Ran modules-update
Restarted lm_sensors to make sure everything was still working :
/etc/init.d/lm_sensors restart
And voila! finally everything is working and the setting were kept when I rebooted. Millions of thanks to Master_Of_Disaster for such a good thread, thank you also to anarka who solved my problem 
Hope this will help someone else in with the same board.
P.S. I probably didn't need to compile LM75, LM78, LM83, LM85 and W83L785TS as module but I played it safe and will try removing them when I come to compiling again.
EDIT 2 : I recompiled my kernel yesterday and removed support for LM75, 78, 83, 85 and W83L785TS and it's working still. You only need LM90 and w83781d hardware sensors chip for this board.

I apologize in advance if this has been answered somewhere in the middle of this thread. I've scanned the thread, but haven't read all 8 pages 
When I try to emerge lm-sensors, i2c is listed as a dependency but it won't emerge b/c I'm using kernel 2.6.
| Code: | [root@Gentoo src]$ emerge -p lm-sensors
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/i2c-2.8.1
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.1
|
Do I need to emerge a later version of lm-sensors? Everything after 2.8.1 is in packages.mask and I am generally uncomfortable emerging those packages. |

got it working.
I unmasked lm-sensors-2.8.5 and everything worked fine. |

I have the it87 module loaded on kernel 2.6.4 - but I seem to be missing pwm control of the fans 
| Code: |

I really wish I could get pwm control enabled, then I could silence my so called "silent" cpu fan (A thermaltake Silent Boost)
