Install lm-sensors and sensors-applet Ubuntu Linux

How to install lm-sensors? This tools can detect your hardware parameters, such as temperatures, fan speed, and voltages. Several years ago, I already tried this tools on Suse, it’s quite fun since I can watch my hardware performance and set an alarm for it, just in case something worse happened. Now, I want to install lm-sensors in Ubuntu Linux (Hardy Heron or Intrepid Ibex should have the same command).

$sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
$sudo sensors-detect
$sudo apt-get install sensors-applet

I set all the answer to YES, then reboot the PC. Now, right click on your Gnome-Panel, add to panel then look for Hardware Sensor Monitor. There you go, now you can display all your hardware parameters, including fan, voltage and temperatures. Happy tweaking!

    I have set it up as described in your post, but all I get are temperature readings– which are helpful, but where is the fan speed and voltage sensor information?
