"no sensors found" messages in console?

Featured Replies

Just upgraded to a new i7-6800K and Gigabyte GA-X99-UD3P motherboard.  Everything is working fine however after boot up I get the following message continuously scrolling in the console:

 

Tower login:  no sensors found!

Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.

Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

 

What does this mean?.. and is this bad?

Do you have Dynamix system temp / fan plugin installed? I vaguely remember this error a long time ago.

Yes I do... when I click on it it just says "click detect" next to available drivers and when I do that, nothing happens.  In the section below that for sensors it says "not used" for all three.  Even on my old board though I think it did the same thing.

You might be missing some packages / drivers etc. If you are not using a plugin, it's better to uninstall it and see if the error goes away.

RobJ stated in another thread that sensors-detect is included with the plugin but when I upgraded my mobo at Christmas I had to install an updated script.  So not sure who is right or wrong there

What is this "updated script" and how do I install it?

  • Community Expert

You also need to install perl from the NerdTools.

Well I'm sure!  ;)

 

Except that I decided to go verify the setup, and found I was partly wrong, in that sensors-detect is included with unRAID not the plugin.  It's in /usr/sbin.  However it's dated 2013-09-13, and internally says it's build 6170 dated 2013-05-20, rather old!  So we should grab the latest sensors-detect we can find, and make it available as an attachment.

 

I also found that the plugin does not check whether Perl is installed or not, or whether running "perl /usr/sbin/sensors-detect" is successful, perhaps because this section was written during the v6 beta days when Perl was included.  Since the decision was made to drop Perl before v6 went final, I think this should be called a defect.  I'm hoping bonienl will fix it?!?  ;)

Ok well, I don't like messing with anything that's not in the gui...so... questions:

 

1) If I leave it as is and it continues to scroll that message in the console is that bad or can it do any harm?

 

2) If I want to get rid of the message for now, I just need to remove the dynamix system temperature plugin?

I wrote up a general procedure for installing System Temps here.

 

I'll see if I can improve it with a newer sensors-detect script.

 

Could not get the wayback link to work, blocked by 'robots.txt' for some reason.  I did find what appears to be the latest, dated 2015-08-31, attached it zipped.

sensors-detect.zip

You could try my procedure, it's all using the webGui.

It's harmless.

Yes

Correct, the sensors-detect script is included with unRAID and not installed by the script. If you want to use a newer version, it needs to be copied manually.

 

I'll make an update to the plugin and test for the presence of perl, and disable the detect button accordingly.

Thank you as always.  You might want to include the sensors-detect script I attached above, unless you or anyone else can find a later one.

I have included the latest known version of sensors-detect in the plugin. A update of the plugin is available.

I updated the plugin and installed perl via Nerd Tools and it's working.  Thanks everyone
