Hello I need some help and direction.

Hey there, from my swanky linux laptop 8)

right did that went through all the bits and was expecting a bit more than

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +37.5°C  (crit = +102.0°C)

Anyway there you are.

Make of it what you will.

Thanks
Brian.

Your laptop obviously doesn’t contain many sensors … but you are getting a CPU temperature readout.

But you haven’t answered all my other questions … any particular reason for this ?

Just felt very hot around it after i had done the initial install of mint.

Though its fine now.

:slight_smile:

Okey dokey … do you want to bother with a desktop CPU temperature display then ?

or are you happy to just run:

sensors

every now and again ?

You could install xsensors with

sudo apt-get install xsensors

You’ll then find XSensors in your menus … which will display the CPU temp in a desktop widget.

If i think that its running hot again ill do that.

For now though im going to play. Should i need any more help ill post a new more focused thread.

Thanks very much for all the help you have given me in the first few faultering steps into Linux :slight_smile:

Take care
Brian.

No problem … and have fun with your shiny new Mint installation :slight_smile:
