Both hddtemp and acpi are small application and already present in Ubuntu repository, you need to install them before use. Lets see the installation and usage of hddtemp and acpi one by one.

  1. What about using lm-sensors? Install it, do a sudo sensors-detect and use indicator-sensors or a conky script or just sensors in your terminal

  2. I didn't know about lm-sensors,Thanks for upgrading my knowledge. As far as lm-sensors is concerned, I will definitely try it.

  3. do you know that acpi does not allow ubuntu OSs to boot and other problems?????
    Just read a little bit more before making these mistakes.

  4. To get lm-sensors to do anything after installing it, you have to do

    Code:

    sudo sensors-detect

    You'll get a message to restart some services. Just follow the instructions.

    and answer yes to everything.

    Then you can run

    Code:

    sensors

    A very easy to configure graphical interface to monitor sensors is gkrellm. There are others. I use conky, which is highly configurable but probably pretty intimidating to begin with.

    For HDD temps

    Code:

    sudo apt-get install hddtemp

    Then,

    Code:

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp

    Answer yes to everything, or press enter when a value is already present.

    Then you can configure gkrellm to display hddtemps.

  8. cpu monitor

    CPU Monitor is a lightweight Java app that uses Secure Shell (ssh) to scrape

    information from a server and chart its configuration and current load. It

    communicates directly with the server and as a result doesn’t require an agent to

    be running on the target. It currently supports Linux, Solaris and Mac OS servers

    with more OS’s coming shortly.
    CPU monitor is designed to be easy to configure and install and is sufficiently

    lightweight not to place an unacceptable burden on the server. It uses a simple

    XML file to specify the servers to monitor and is ideal for monitoring clustered

    configurations.

    It also allows the recording of the load to a file for further analysis

    The following features will be added shortly

    Support for AIX and HP-UX
    A Character mode
    A Table Mode
    Network Monitoring
    Further statistics collection
    Source code for information scraping. Allowing improvements on current

    statistic collection or support for new OS's
