I just installed some application called wmgtemp that shows live CPU temperatures via Synaptic Package Manager in Ubuntu 10.10. But I cannot find it in Application menu or Add to Panel. How can I find it to run? Thanks!

Wmgtemp is a tool for Windows Maker (this is another X window manager) and uses lm_sensors to display CPU temperature. For Ubuntu the default window manager is Metacity or Compiz.

Hit alt+F2, type wmgtemp, and hit run. Or run that same command on a terminal.
