Well as most of you know by now I use CentOS, and some things just need to be tweaked. I for one have always liked the panel applet for sensors the version I was using was a little old and I wanted to see if I could update it and sure enough I could and I did. Obligatory screenshot
So as always the rpms are located in the rpm4centos section and you will need two of these which are
libXNVCtrl – which gives lm_sensors the ability to see nvidia cards
gnome-applet-sensors – the panel applet for gnome
You need to have lm_sensors installed for this to work which you can just do a yum install lm_sensors for.
Then if you have not run /usr/sbin/sensors-detect as root do that before installing these packages. Then
as root install the libXNVCtrl first then the sensors rpm with the normal rpm -Uvh command, log out of gnome and back in and click on your panel and select add applet. Then look for Hardware Sensors Monitor and add it to your panel. There are some settings you can adjust in the applet preferences so be sure to check that out as well after you have it on your panel.
If all goes well you should now have the sensors displaying their temps in your panel.
