What does /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/something/temperature tell you?

Do you have ACPI enabled?

Start simple, please. Baby steps.

"something" = THRM (only), and after executing

Code:

watch /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature

I get "permission denied".
ACPI is enabled, at least in BIOS.

Xyzzy · 2007-03-12, 13:34

Code:

sudo cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature

The fact you have an ACPI tree in /proc means ACPI is up.

I get

Code:

temperature:             40 C

, which tells me exactly nothing, as I was looking forward to CPU0,1,2,3 temperatures

Do you have a SMP kernel?

Code:

uname -a

Okay, mail us the computer, and we'll have it figured out in, say, a few months.

(We have no clue what is going on. Sorry!)

you wish

I guess it's a time to visit Ubuntu forum

The software you want is lm-sensors. It doesn't require ACPI, but instead probes the sensor chips on the CPU(s) and motherboard. We use it a lot. There is a HOW TO: Install and configure lm-sensors Tutorials & Tips thread on the Ubuntu forums.
