Is there a way to make Hardinfo to display results on "Sensors" section?Currently as much long I wait it doesn't display anything.I have installed lm-sensors if that matters,but still nothing.

I still have the same problem and the accepted answer about lm-sensors didn't resolved the problem. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 (ElementaryOS Loki).– jgomo3Jul 23, 2016 at 21:49

What message do you receive when you execute the command "sensors" ?– und3rd06012Jul 24, 2016 at 5:23

I see. Unfortunately, I have tried many different things to make it work but with no success. If you don't mind you can ask also on launchpad. They might be able to help you there.– und3rd06012Jul 26, 2016 at 8:47

Hardinfo uses lm-sensors
for the sensors section. To view anything here you need to first install lm-sensors
.
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
After that you will need to set up the sensors:
sudo sensors-detect
Just follow what it says. I always just trust it knows what it's doing and say yes to all the test, etc. Just make sure that you say yes to save it's findings, as it defaults to no. Now restart the sensors service:
sudo service module-init-tools start
Use the following command to see if it found valid sensors and you can use them:
sensors
Here is what mine said:

AUXTIN: +23.5°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = thermistor
cpu0_vid: +2.050 V
intrusion0: OK
If it didn't find any sensors, it will say:
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
If it spits out some values, then you will now see these when running hardinfo. If not, you can try going through the sensors-detect
again.
I see that you already installed lm_sensors, but I left that part in for anyone else who happens upon this question.

The output that you get when you type
sensors
has more details than mine.Mine only displays temperatures and the fan speed. Sep 21, 2012 at 21:09 -

3So the command
sensors
is working, but the sensors section in hardinfo isn't showing anything? The reason mine shows more info is just because my motherboard must support more sensors, or it's sensors are better supported by Linux. Sep 24, 2012 at 14:52 -
ok.Probably I won't manage to get it work in my laptop.Thanks for your help anyway. Sep 24, 2012 at 15:03
