I wanted to have a check for the CPU temperature like I have on Windows by using
CoreTemp.
After googling I found this:
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-check-cpu-temperature-on-ubuntu-linux/
And it says that this should do the trick:
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt install lm-sensors
sudo sensors-detect
Then using it is like this:
$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +64.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +62.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2: +70.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3: +62.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
BAT0-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
in0: 12.46 V
curr1: 0.00 A
nouveau-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
GPU core: 850.00 mV (min = +0.80 V, max = +1.00 V)
temp1: +64.0°C (high = +95.0°C, hyst = +3.0°C)
(crit = +105.0°C, hyst = +5.0°C)
(emerg = +135.0°C, hyst = +5.0°C)
acpitz-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
temp1: +58.0°C (crit = +127.0°C)
temp2: +47.0°C (crit = +127.0°C)
temp3: +37.0°C (crit = +128.0°C)
temp4: +50.0°C (crit = +127.0°C)
temp5: +0.0°C (crit = +115.0°C)
temp6: +38.2°C (crit = +128.0°C)
temp7: +64.0°C (crit = +128.0°C)
temp8: +68.0°C (crit = +128.0°C)
temp9: +0.0°C (crit = +128.0°C)
temp10: +59.0°C (crit = +128.0°C)
So this looks like it is what I need, BUT:
It *only* worked on two HP Elitebook workstations with Intel CPU!
On my Lenovo PC which has an AMD CPU I get this, where the core temps are
missing:
$ sensors
amdgpu-pci-0400
Adapter: PCI adapter
vddgfx: N/A
vddnb: N/A
edge: +59.0°C (crit = +80.0°C, hyst = +0.0°C)
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Tdie: +59.0°C (high = +70.0°C)
Tctl: +59.0°C
So what am I missing here?
Is the temp info missing on AMD CPU:s?
Note: I have installed Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 on the HP machines but Ubuntu Server
20.04 on the Lenovo PC.
So the failing machine has no desktop at all.
