    I wanna monitor my temps under linux, especially the hdd, but I can't seem to find how to. I am on ubuntu 9.04 x64, and I downloaded lm sensors, x sensor and I configured it through terminal, but it doesn't show anything in the app..
    I've also downloaded some other thing for hardware monitor but I can't see it anywhere :/ what do you guys use?

    I did a whole lot of research... opened an entire new tab and typed "temperature monitor linux" in the Google box. Here you go. ;)

    LOL I couldn't resist. ;)

    Although the first link there does look about as handy as any names we could throw at you. Some of those look good. :)

    Alright I finally opted for sensors-applet and hddtemp, which I've set to display CPU,GPU and HDD temps in the top panel. Thx for the links

    x sensors didn't show anything. I tried the configuration I saw on the forums but it still didn't work. I didn't try more because sensors applet worked great.

    This is what I usually do on my Linux Mint Gnome installation + add system monitor showing proc load, memory, network activity, sys load, and HDD activity.
