CPU Temperature Indicator

I've been using this for a few years across several versions of Linux Mint (Ubuntu) and LMDE. Love it.

Hi Claudiux, I am trying to install this on Linux Mint Mate 21.3 (Virginia) kernel 5.15.0-113, but when I navigate to '~/.local/share', I don't have 'mate/applets' in there. I tried to manually create the folders and drop "temperature@fevimu" in the newly created "applets" folder, then restart mate, but I don't have the applet icon on the taskbar. It works fine on my Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.3 box though. Is there a workaround? Thanks in advance.

causes microstutter in games every time the CPU is polled for a temperature

Great app. Can you add a max temp, maybe even average temp please.

awesome app

Really helpful to monitor temps thanks for this!

Excellent! Thank you. Can high and critical threshold values be changed? Mine show 100 for both. I'm using LM21C.

Thank you! Simple, convenient and always works!

Hey, how I install this software on mint luna?

thanks

Great applet! It would be nice if you had an additional option for alarms, like some alarm sound and an non-modal (blocking) alarm dialog.

Very good applet, practical and easy to use, it is one of my favorites!

Sorry to hear you're no longer maintaining this Applet.. It still works the best for me, of any temp display I've tried. ;) Hopefully it'll keep working this well. I love how simple/compact this one is. There's a lot to be said for a simple applet that focuses on just a single function. Sometimes that's exactly what's needed to fit into someone's unique layout. Anyway, thanks for the work you've done on this!

Hello, I just created a new applet: Sensors@claudiux https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/337 It can also display the temperature of the processor ... and the speed of the fans... and the voltages... and the status of intrusion detectors. I have been the maintainer of temperature@fevimu for almost a year and will not continue. Thank you for welcoming Sensors@claudiux! Regards. Claudiux

I feel like kernel v5.3, which is now officially supported by Linux Mint 19, introduces a regression and as a result your applet can no longer read the temperature of the processor. After answering YES to those questions, sudo sensors-detect outputs "Sorry, no sensors were detected. This is relatively common on laptops, where thermal management is handled by ACPI rather than the OS." Initially, I decided to upgrade from 4.15 to 5.3 because it's now officially supported, so I was hoping this issue, which has been a thing since as far as I can remember, was gone. Unfortunately that isn't the case so if I want to keep using your applet, I have to stay on 4.15.

Hello i ' m wondering if this is good to use with intel 10th generation . when i use this applet , the temp is around 60 °C , when i use the command " inxi -Fxz " the temp is : Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 41.0 C mobo: N/A gpu: nvidia temp: 49 C Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A gpu: nvidia fan: 46% why there is about 20 ° C of amount between two systems ?

When the CPU temp in °F is moving around 99°-100°, it shifts the panel bar. Can you please space pad it or something to prevent that shift? I've had to disable it because it was too distracting. Thank you.

Hello. Applets show Tctl temperature in desktop panel icon (link: https://i112.fastpic.ru/big/2020/0720/77/b9304dbfafc45d95185b45c83d9cc677.png ). How to change to Tdie sensor? My CPU: Ryzen 2700x, OS:Linux mint 20. Thank you

Hello, I'm sorry for taking so long to provide a feedback. Regarding your suggestion, it kinda worked. Your applet now gets the correct readings, but it just won't show it IN DEGREES CELSIUS. It will display the current temperature in Fahrenheit, but after changing that to Celsius, with integer values disabled, it reports 0.0ºC. Having it enabled outputs 0ºC. But if you click once on your applet, it becomes evident it is reading the correct temps. Please have a look: https://ibb.co/TTxs8VS I guess this applet could use a hotfix to address the 0ºC issue. Could you please have a look at it? TIA.

This applet works just fine on Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa and kernel v4.15.0-106, but after I upgraded the kernel to v5.4.0-37 it only shows 0ºC for my processor.

This applet is now compatible with Cinnamon 4.6.

It works flawlessly on my Linux Mint 19.3. Thank you. Is there a way to use custom "High Temp" and "Crit. Temp" values. Now both are fixed to 100°C and I can't modify them.

I tried @jesperloehr’s solution, and it did not work on Arch with Cinnamon 4.6.2, kernel 5.4.44-1-lts. Looking forward to getting an update.

Does not start on Cinnamon 4.6 (Cinnamon says it is not compatible). I updated ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/temperature@fevimu/metadata.json to include "4.6" and it seems to work.

Nice applet, thanks for this

Great applet! I've been running it ever since it first came out. Right now I'm running Mint 19.3 Cinnamon (4.4.8) with kernel 5.3.0-46-generic. If I click on the applet in the panel it reports from my single sensor correctly, but the number that displays directly on the panel always stays at freezing (0C or 32F). It's been some time since this started, and has self-resolved at least once. But it's been doing this consistently for several weeks now. Any tips?

Does not run under Mint 18.3 Cinnamon :-( After a new installation I couldn't get it to work anymore. Message: incompatible with the current version of Cinnamon

hello there, as Robbie said previously that'd be nice to get the option to add "CPU" or custom values to write what we want as a prefix. thanks for yer time. works perfect on LMDE Debbie

Linux Mint 19.3 Fanless NUC: Just the job to keep an eye on CPU temperature. Would like the option to prefix the temp display eg: "CPU temp 39.4 C" Otherwise an AbFab applet.

Nice applet. It works for me but only partially. Using Linux Mint 19.3 in French. When I set the applet to Farenheit it works perfectly but in Celcius, I only see the temperature in the window when I click on it, the icon always shows 0.0.

Works great. Thanks!

I'm using it with Manjaro Cinnamon and it works ok. Cool applet!

Just updated to Linux Mint 19.3 which comes with Cinnamon 4.4. This applet does not work anymore now :(

Thanks for a useful applet and for fixing the problem with Cinnamon 4.4 on Arch. No more warnings and the applet loads normally. I have a 4-core AMD Phenom CPU and would like to ask about the displayed temperatures shown as follows: temp1: 70.5 temp1: 43.0 temp2: 40.0 temp3: 82.0 Why does it not show the first temperature as temp0?

awesome

OK so the update I got before the one that's available today did a great job! I no longer saw that annoying message from Mint saying CPU Temperature Indicator could not be initialized. Now, I'm kinda on the fence as to whether I should download the one available today or not. I just don't want to break what's working. So for now I guess I will be turn a blind eye on further updates for this applet unless A) the applet breaks once again and that message comes up or B) @jaszhix says it's OK to do so.

Very good applet, very practical for the thermal optimization of laptops.

When you start the applet, it slows down the computer when watching youtube video

Sorry for double-posting (apparently I can't edit my previous comment), but after scrolling down the comments, I noticed the mention of lm-sensors, which I do have installed already on my Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon "Tara" 64-bit. But in the end, after booting, all CPU Temperature Indicator will do is trigger the error message I mentioned in my previous post. My laptop is an AMD-based Acer Aspire 5. Is anyone else struggling to find the reason and having cpu temp show an error message via notification popup?

Been keeping this applet up-to-date but still getting the error message where Cinnamon tells me it could not be loaded. Out of 10 times I turn on my laptop, the applet manages to run flawlessly for, like, 3 or 4 times, give or take, after my laptop has booted up: https://imgur.com/a/nco9d5R Anyone else running into the same issue?

It does not work :( "Last commit: [e8095840] [temperature@fevimu] Option added: Change color when the temperature becomes High or Critical (#2555)"

Thank you for "Last commit: [e8095840] [temperature@fevimu] Option added: Change color when the temperature becomes High or Critical (#2555)"

Unwanted behaviour: after reaching 80°, the taskbar (and all window indicators) starts dancing like crazy because of the ‘High’ text appearing and disappearing after every refresh during the fluctuation. It would be awfully nice to add *just two settings*: show ‘High’ if high and show ‘Crit’ if critical. A different (slightly more complicated) approach to consider would be adding ‘High’ or ‘Crit’ in yellow and red below or above the indicator (if such an option is enabled) because it would make the applet width fixed, which is the expected behaviour from applets. Thank you in advance for considering this easy addition.

i had same issue. was working in mint 19.1. after upgrading to 19.2, stopped working. also i kept getting authentication request for a flatpak on startup. so i decided to uninstall --purge flatpak. rebooted and everything is working fine. i had to remove and reistall the cpu temp applet. note, had read removing flatpak causes lots of problems for mintinstall, etc. i haven't had any such issues yet.

Was working fine (linux mint 19.1). Since I upgraded to 19.2, cpu temperature indicator is not working.

this applet cause following message for a long span of time in my .xession-errors, spamming it to grow endlessly , Please fix this bug your applet is great. Cinnamon warning: Log level 128: posix_spawn avoided (fd close requested)

Many applets are no longer working with Cinnamon 4.2 update, but this one I really use, please update when possible.

Not working on Cinnamon 4.2

Hangs after exiting standby mode. Shows the last value and nothing else changes.

Just excellent for CPU temperature monitoring

[LM Cinnamon 19.1] Fresh install, it worked for a few days then stopped working (32F.) Any advice?

I have two systems (different motherboards) but both loaded recently with Mint 19 and all upgrades applied to both. Same software complement mostly. The cpu temp works flawlessly on my AMD 6300 but balks and displays 32F on the AMD 4100. I assume the kernel has to load some sensors... perhaps that is the difference. No big deal except trying to optimize case cooling for the system that's on 24/7. Anyone? Dave

Doesn't work on Mint 17.3 Cinnamon asus z99h. Where to find the reason?

Using Cinnamon 4.0.8 on Linux Mint 19.1 64bit. Verified applet is showing the CPU temps correctly.

After updating to Cinammon 4.0.0 (on Arch Linux), the CPU temperature applet wont run. Log message: [temperature@fevimu]: Extension is not compatible with current Cinnamon version

Mint 18.3 64bits. Just like Richard said. Shows NaN but hovering the temperature is there

Ryzen 1700, fresh build, just like Richard said, just shows NaN

Doesn't work on Mint 19 beta Cinnamon. Shows NaN. Hover over and temperature is there, but that is not what is required.

Latest Mint; Kernal 15.0-22; NCT6755 controller; Ryzen 1700; Drop down is populated with correct values, but the one held inside the bar itself remains "NaN". If NCT6775 isn't loaded, the dropdown still contains Temp1, and Temp2 and the bar still has "NaN".

This seems to have caused an issue with cinnamon for me (Mint 17.2 Rafaela), after installing via the applets widget, my desktop was frozen other than mouse functionality. Now it boots into a black screen with just a mouse pointer, nothing else works. Booting into advanced options and using startx in the terminal gets me a cinnamon desktop (without my usual settings) in which I can use Terminal but nothing else. I can't see any reference to temperature applet in .local/share/cinnamon/applets - how do I completely remove all traces of this applet and restore my desktop?

Causes cinnamon to consume lot of memory.It was around 1.3 GB after few hours.

Last version of the applet (2018-03-30) cause a "NaN" display... Zero divide?

this applet cause that cinnamon process consume a lot of memory (1GB every 24 hours). The applet manager advertise that this applet uses bads functions. I remove the applet and cinnamon only uses 160 MB (24 after).

Great applet and have been using it for years but doesn't work with Mint 17.3 since the applet updated today to the new version. Here is the error log, tell me if you need more info to help fix this?

How do I make it display the temp in Fahrenheit?

Manually installing it worked without any issues, thanks Bash64

See this website to download and manually install, then it works with mint 18.2: https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets

i have been running linux mint cinnamon on a test computer and so far the only thing not working is this applet. any idea when this will be made to work on 18.2 as its a great applet. Thankyou

After Updating Linux Mint 18.1 to 18.2, the Applet causes little Hick ups, small Freezes every few seconds. Hardware is a Intel NUC7i3BNK (Kaby Lake). Disabling the Applet and after restarting Cinnemon, everything is running smooth again. With Mint 18.1, there was no problem with this Applet on the same Hardware.

It shows "error" on AMD Ryzen 7. it87-dkms-git is installed and sensors work, but the addon doesn't.

Thank you, commented out the line with "//" and it works!

This is already fixed in the applet source, but apparently the mint control panel is installing an older version...

I see this comment in the changelog: "remove panelMenu.js, which is unused but for 2 applets. There are a bunch of applets that import it but don't use it, all of which can be fixed now." To fix this applet, simply remove the line "const PanelMenu = imports.ui.panelMenu;" from ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/temperature@fevimu/applet.js

Depois da atualização para Linux Mint 18.2 a aplicação parou de funcionar :( After the update to Linux Mint 18.2 the application stopped working :(

same here...doesn't work after 18.2 Sonya Upgrade

Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya not supported

It doesn't display temperature for Pentium-D cpu on HP 09f0h motherboard # Generated by sensors-detect ... # Chip drivers: smsc47b397

It does not display Ryzen 1700X CPU temperatute on ASUS Prime B 350M A motherboard. I installed the latest kernel I could find: 4.10.0-21-generic.

Great stuff! Some feedback: - How about some settings option where one can choose which adaptator to display? The one that appeared by default messed the indicator: I had a virtual device at 12 degrees (lower than the room temperature...) while my core temp was around 40 - 45. The end result was a display of 30 degrees, which doesn't make any sense for me. Commenting the line 267 in applet.js was my solution. - Also, instead of using "°C" (two character), I replace it with the proper symbol: "℃" (one character) so it displays exactly like the symbol of the weather applet of "weather@mockturtl". Tiny detail indeed but it yields a much better look.

Using it since beginning of my Mint/Cinnamon life period

Simple and effective !
