[SOLVED] Sensors fan and battery in conky not working

fvirgola80 · 2017-03-27 07:40:11

Hello guys I'm rebuilding my conky on my new laptop Lenovo V510 is I'm having a bit of trouble on the monitoring of the batteries and the speed of the fans, I can not see the values in conky with the classic variables. For this laptop you must installarre something in particular?
Thanks so much

I can not see the values in conky with the classic variables.

What is the code you are using? Do you have lm-sensors installed?

fvirgola80 · 2017-03-27 08:33:15

Hello damo, lm-sensors installed the code I use are the conky variables vers. 1.9

damo · 2017-03-27 09:39:23

^ You still haven't posted the code you are using.

If you run the conky in a terminal, are there any error messages?

Damo Hello, I solved the problem of the battery status display in the conky conky works now this code is ${battery_bar 8,78 BAT1} I omitted BAT1. I still miss the fan speed, in fact if I insert the code acpifan FAN1 or FAN0 the conky tells me no fans?

Thank you

If you type:

sensors

in a terminal, are the fans detected?

Post the actual code snippet from your conkyrc that you're using for your fans, sometimes there is a simple typo in there that someone will spot.

Looks like your laptop fans don't have a sensor.

I don't know if there is some special package for Lenovo that you can install.

Do you have inxi installed? If you do, does:

inxi -s

in a terminal show fan speeds?

That's a Skylake device, isn't it?

Which kernel are you using?

/sbin/sysctl kernel.version

martix · 2017-03-29 00:24:46

If you try inxi as suggested above or one of the methods here (e.g. the platform method), does it help?

@HoaS Maybe a Kaby-Lake, like here, but it might a different model as well.

fvirgola80 · 2017-03-31 10:46:41

@ PackRat inxi -s does not give me any results because the package is not installed;
@ Head_on_a_Stick the kernel version is 4.9.0.0.bpo2-amd64
@ martix Thanks

fvirgola80 · 2017-05-06 18:15:57

Hi, I installed inxi and the result that gives me this is this

fvirgola80@fringe:~$ inxi -s
Sensors:   System Temperatures: cpu: 37.5C mobo: N/A 
           Fan Speeds (in rpm): cpu: N/A

The kernel version

fvirgola80@fringe:~$ /sbin/sysctl kernel.version


kernel.version = #1 SMP Debian 4.9.18-1~bpo8+1 (2017-04-10)

I have not yet understood why I can not see the speed of the fan 8.( 8.(

PackRat · 2017-05-06 20:17:35

Laptops don't always have sensors - my HP doesn't have a fan sensor either.

"N/A" means "Not Available". I guess your machine doesn't have that capability.

Ok guys I understand, in that case I close the post.
Thanks a lot to everyone
