This results in critical errors leading to system shutdown. Certain processes may require resources which are more than what our system can offer. It is quite a useful tool to monitor the health of our hardware.Ī process needs system resources to perform a task. The same package can also be used to monitor voltage, fan speed etc. and we will also have an icon on the top panel for quick access.In this article, we cover how to monitor CPU temperature in Ubuntu through lm-sensors package.We will see the graphics from a comfortable window.

We can configure it with an alarm that alerts us when it reaches a temperature (which we choose as a parameter) and warns us that it has reached that temperature with an information balloon.

It allows us to monitor the motherboard sensors, processors, fans, hard drives, graphics cards, and CPU usage.

We can now monitor the temperature in our equipment using the command sensor, however we can also install sensor which is an application that is available directly in the Software Center and with which we will see the temperature graphically. I personally write YES to do that process automatically when the system reboots and I haven't had any problems.Īfter we carry out this step we restart the equipment and that's it. Of course, we must pay attention, read and not just press "Enter" because at the end of the process it will ask if we want to add those lines to / etc / modules automatically? (yes / NO). Then we will see some questions and select the option recommended by the system (UPPERCASE). Since we have the libraries, we are going to make our Ubuntu System detect the sensors on the computer with the command:

Pay attention when the question appears if “ we want to run the hddtemp daemon at startup " we must write yes. The process is similar to detect the sensors that are on the hard disk, we only need to install "hddtemp" in a terminal, the command for this would be:ĭuring the installation process of hddtemp We will see a series of options to choose from, we will select those that are by default in Ubuntu (in UPPERCASE) we will write them and then press Enter. Now let's see how we can monitor the temperature in our hardware and thus prevent any problem in our equipment.įirst we must install the libraries that will allow us to detect the sensors that are on the motherboard and in the processor, the library "lm-sensors" is installed in a terminal with the command: The problem of high temperatures can arise because the putty in contact with the processor has deteriorated, or also why a fan has stopped working properly. Maintaining a stable temperature in its hardware (processor, graphics card, memory, etc.) has always been essential for the proper functioning of any computer is essential to know how the computer works and to know if we have difficulties with high temperatures in the same and then bring us complications.
