I am trying to get LM_Sensors working on my rig. 

Sensors-Detect returns

 

Driver `it87' (should be inserted):

  Detects correctly:

  * ISA bus, address 0x290

    Chip `ITE IT8712F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

 

Driver `to-be-written' (should be inserted):

  Detects correctly:

  * Chip `AMD K10 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)

 

if I then run sensors I get no Sensors Found!

 

Can anyone point in a direction here?

You have to load the module, use this command:

 

modprobe it87

 

Also, the K10 thermal sensors is not installed in unraid, you can try the k8 module though, loading it the same way:

 

modprobe k8temp

 

You need to edit the sensors.conf file to include the option for k8temp, it is located at /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors

 

After editing the file type lm_sensors to start and then typing sensors should work for you.

for both of the modprobe commands I get module not found

Type this command from telnet and copy and paste the return here:

ls /sys/module/

 

 

EDIT: Just read the changelogs and found the problem, in 4.7 the hwmon drivers were built-in and not modules, so you don't need to use modprobe.

 

Try running:

etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors

 

and then run

 

sensors

Result:

No sensors found!

Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.

Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

Check the permissions on lm_sensors to make sure its executable. The second error is my fault, I forgot to include the / before etc, thats why it gave the no suhc file or directory error.

 

You should simply be able to run lm_sensors, since you got permission denied I have a feeling its just not executable.

Check the permissions by running ls -l /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors

 

On my system it is default 777(-rwxrwxrwx), but you should only need it to be -rwx------.

 

If its not executable, chmod it and then try running it again.

 

I just restarted after removing any go lines i had setup for sensors to work, so basically I started fresh. This is what I did to get it to work:

 

run sensors-detect, answer yes and let it make the /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors file

Since I'm running a 5beta build I have to modprobe the modules, on 4.7 they are built into the kernel so you do not have to do this step,

modprobe it87

then I run sensors and I get the correct output.

 

I'm thinking we need a 4.7 user to step in here as I cannot test it to see what happens on 4.7 to get it to work, from everything I've read its included in kernel, I'm not 100% sure if you need to load drivers that are built-in. I've only ever had to modprobe drivers, but I've only ever messed with modular drivers as well.
