Hi,

got a newish T41, put Kubuntu 6.10 on it incl superkaramba and the aero widget. I am not quite sure how to get info on processor temperature and fan speed working though. The aero widget has a plugin but that requires sensors to be installed, which I duly did. Even configured it, but I still get an error message saying the kernel needs to support it.

I don't really care whether I've got access to this data via superkaramba or whatever, main thing is that I get it - does anyone know how?

Cheers

OK, I've worked it out for all those who couldn't wait for the answer

This is the file that will tell you how hot you're running:

/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature
