<h2 id="S_NoSensors">1. No sensors or only cpu usage is displayed</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Psensor is relying on few libraries or softwares for retrieving the
information about the computer:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>motherboard and CPUs sensors: the information is retrieved
from the lm-sensors library, it requires that
sensors-detect has been run and the kernel module
correctly installed. sensors can be used for checking.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>GPUs: it depends on which driver you are using:</p>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Opensource drivers (nouveau for Nvidia GPUs or
radeon/ati for ATI GPUs) is used and support sensor
monitoring for your GPU, the information is using
lm-sensors, same steps than above.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>proprietary driver Nvidia: run nvidia-settings to
check that it supports sensors monitoring.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>proprietary driver Catalyst/fglx: use aticonfig to
check that it supports sensors monitoring. Important
note: it requires that you are using a Psensor
binary compiled with the ATI support.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For hard disk drives, psensor can use:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>udisks2: added since 1.1.2 release. It is the default and
recommended provider.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>hddtemp: verify that it is correctly reporting temperature by
using the command: sudo hddtemp /dev/sda. It is the default
provider until 1.1.2 release.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>atasmart library: before the 1.1.2 release it can be enabled
by using the command line option --use-libatasmart.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the underlying software is reporting sensors which are not
displayed by Psensor, it is probably a bug in Psensor, so please
report it. Otherwise, the issue is on the underlying software itself
and you should contact the corresponding development team or refer to
its documentation.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Since the release 1.1.2, the providers can be enabled or disabled directly
from the user interface (Preferences>Provider).</p>

<h2 id="S_ATIMonitoring">2. How to monitor an ATI card using the Catalyst driver?</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For monitoring ATI card using the proprietary Catalyst driver, Psensor
must be compiled with a proprietary library which is not packaged in
any Linux distribution.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Unfortunely, due to the license of this library, I cannot provide a
compiled version of Psensor, even in a Ubuntu PPA or Ubuntu/Debian
standard repositories. You have to compile Psensor sensor. You can
find the instructions in the section ATI/AMD GPU Support of the
README file available in the Psensor source archives.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you are using the ATI OpenSource driver, it is not needed to
compile Psensor with this proprietary library.</p>

</div>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="S_WrongTemperature">3. The reported temperature is obviously wrong</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the reported temperature is obviously wrong (never change, lower
than the ambiant temperature, negative, higher than the sun
temperature, etc):</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>most of the time it is not a bug in Psensor nor in the
underlying monitoring libraries:</p>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>if the temperature does not change, it might be due
to an existent sensor not wired by the hardware
manufacturer.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>the goal of the sensor is to allow the system to
detect critical temperature and NOT to report an
exact temperature. Most sensors report a relative
temperature. The more it differs from the critical
temperature , the more it is wrong.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>It is only a bug in Psensor if the underlying libraries
report a different information than Psensor (use the
appropriate command or software: sensors, aticonfig or
hddtemp to check). In this case, please report a bug.</p>

<p>For older Psensor releases, look at the Id field, if the string is

<h2 id="S_disk">15. How to monitor the temperature of a disk with hddtemp?</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Until the release 1.1.2, Psensor is using hddtemp by default to
retrieve the temperature of the disks.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If hddtemp is installed but no disk temperature is reported, check
that the daemon is running by using for example the command ps
-eaf|grep hddtemp.
It should output something like:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>root 1433 1 0 May28 ? 00:00:21 /usr/sbin/hddtemp -d -l 127.0.0.1 -p 7634 -s | /dev/sdb</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Depending on the Linux distribution, the installation of the hddtemp
package does not enable the hddtemp daemon automaticaly.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this case, edit the file /etc/default/hddtemp and set
RUN_DAEMON to "true". After edition, it should contain the
following line:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>RUN_DAEMON="true"</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For Debian/Ubuntu, you can use at root:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp</pre>
</div>

<p>and reply yes when asked whether hddtemp daemon must be
run during the startup.</p>
