I am looking for a GUI program to show cpu and hard drive temps.

Something more advance than this.

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

I am the owner of my computer as well as the Sysop.

Code: Select all

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

[sudo] password for andykennedy:
andykennedy is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[andykennedy@localhost ~]$

sudo isn't used like in ubuntu.

you need to use

Code: Select all

su -

enter password , then you are root.

apt-get is not used ether ,

to install something in mageia you use

Code: Select all

urpmi

again as root.

or this method.
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Newcomers_start_here
this is an rpm based distro (RedHat)

also lm_sensors is in so

Code: Select all

sensors-detect

as root should do the trick.

With regards a gui , what DM are you using ? KDE?

There's super-karamba(in the repos)

No idea what DM is.

Based on the replies, it looks like no one monitors hard drive and cpu temps.

I use a bunch of Plasma widgets to accomplish these things. You can install them through the package manager and they will automatically select the correct dependencies.

All can be found under KDE or by searching "plasma" in the package manager GUI.

"plasma-applet-system"
-monitor-cpu
-monitor-hdd
-monitor-hwinfo
-monitor-net
-monitor-temperature

and then one called "plasma-applet-systemloadviever"
