It never changes

Right clicking Temperature Monitor and choosing settings gives the following fields and values. I haven't the first clue as to what might be appropriate for the "Sensor" field, or what "Automatic sensor location" might mean:

    It's a question of hardware: if your hardware doesn't have any sensors, it cannot report on them... Post the output of sensors-detect .
