Temperature monitoring on Dell Precision M4500 under Linux: sensors-detect doesn't, what next?


I have a Dell Precision M4500, Intel Core i5 CPU, running Linux (Ubuntu Lucid), and would like to keep an eye on CPU temperature.


I've tried lm-sensors: sensors-detect didn't find any sensors; following its hint ("This is relatively common on laptops, where thermal management is handled by ACPI rather than the OS.") I tried acpi -V but got nothing thermal. The Gnome panel applet "Hardware Sensors Monitor" reports on GPU temperature but nothing else.


What should I be trying next?



Answer



I find the CPU temperature for M4500 in:


cat /sys/kernel/debug/ips/cpu_temp
