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?
Why it does not work? It works very well for me.
What are the High and Critical temperatures of your sensors?
Please run the command 'sensors' in a terminal.
One of the returned lines must be like:
Package id 0: +58.0°C (high = +69.0°C, crit = +75.0°C)
So, when the temperature (actually +58.0°C) becomes greater than +69.0°C, the applet becomes orange. (Red for temp greater than +75.0°C.)
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.
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)
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?

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
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?
You have to log in like normal into cinnamon.
Once you are at the black screen please CRTL+ALT+F2. This will bring you to a console session.
Then login at the command prompt with your regular user.
Then remove the temperature applet files from these locations.
cd ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets
rm -R temperature@fevimu
cd ~/.cinnamon/configs/
rm -R temperature@fevimu
Then reboot, you should be able to get into cinammon again.
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? Cheers

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.
Seconding this - it's happening on my--recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E Dell Precision 5520 (Kaby Lake). Drove me nuts until I traced it back to this applet, I'd thought it was an issue with the graphics drivers.
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
On Mint 18.2 fails to init with:
error t=2017-07-04T18:34:12.910Z No JS module 'panelMenu' found in search path

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.
