Is there a way to configure psensor so the temperatures read out in real time in the panel so it could be read at a glance? So far, in order to read the temperature I have to click on the applet indicator. On 12.04 I had a Hardware Indicator Sensors by Alex Murray that did that job fine but it doesn't work in 14.04 (can anyone verify? I'm getting an "E: Unable to locate package indicator-sensors"). I ended up starting to use psensor again and it only shows the temp in Unity (my Unity is on auto hide).

See http://wpitchoune.net/blog/sensors-in-the-top-bar-of-the-desktop/.
It has been added in psensor since the release 1.0.2.
Basically, with a terminal:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install psensor

1Wow, it looks great. I can't wait. The nice thing about psensor is the notification alarms. Yeah, I could run indicator-sensors and psensor at the same time but I tend to like a cleaner panel. Apr 24, 2014 at 5:44

1simbabque That is a so-called experimental setting you find in Sensor Preferences (not the main Preferences dialog), in the "Application Indicator" tab. Jan 8, 2016 at 9:24
Try this: Go to your Dash and open Software and Updates. Go the other software tab and try to add it from there by pressing add. Add "ppa:alexmurray/indicator-sensors-daily" excluding the quotes and add. Check the box next to the source in the list of sources. Open a terminal and try:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-sensors
If that doesnt work, try to install it from Synaptic Package Manager.
(To get it): sudo apt-get install synaptic
Open Synaptic and search indicator-sensors. Right click on it and click Mark For Installation. Click Apply and let it install.

2If you check "view package details" at ppa:alexmurray/indicator-sensors-daily/ you'll see that the trusty package did not build properly.– ajdev8Apr 19, 2014 at 19:43
