BIOS

[Andrew Mathenge]

Hello Raymond,

Have you tried the utility called "acpi?"  If you're looking for thermal
information on boot, that might not be meaningful. However, if you'd like to
find out what the temperature is after the system has been running for a
while, you can try this utility.

Type:

acpi -V

If you don't have "acpi" installed, in Ubuntu,  you can install it by
typing:

sudo apt-get acpi

acpi is an acronym for Advanced Configuration Power Interface. Most
computers would support this. From ACPI you can get laptop battery
information as well as CPU statistics.

Hopefully this was helpful.

Good luck!

Andrew.
