How to get LM_Sensors to work <SOLVED>

[jpg153]

Hi,

After the last update/upgrade lm_sensors now detects successfuly my chipset.
However, after running

Code: Select all

sensor-detect

I am prompted to start the daemon/service.
But, how to get that?
I have been clicking around in the file tree, but could not find anything which looks like it could make what I need to have...

I am lost....HELP.

Thanks in advance.
Its Salix 13.37 64bit version.

ok,

I have now modified file:///etc/rc.d/rc.modules-2.6.37.6
to contain 2 new lines, modprobe'ing the 2 drivers indicated by sensors-detect.

I issued the same command in a root terminal session and 'sensors' works.

Well,

it seems that modifiying this file did not result in loading the drivers.
In a terminal session the command 'sensors' ended up with 'no drivers installed'.

So where am I wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I suggest to add your lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local because rc.modules-2.6.37.6 gets outdated during kernel updates (or maybe already is outdated on your system).

...thanks for the tip!

I did so.

Finally all is ok, as I found out I made a typo in the few lines (in both). When checking the screen output on shutdown I saw
the error message and could fix it.

Thanks.
