Ubuntu – How to get temperature indicators in the panel in 14.04

14.04indicatortemperature

I was formerly using 10.04, where I had nice temperature indicators for my dual core like this :

ubuntu 10.04 panel

I am now trying to have the same feature with 14.04, but I haven't succeeded yet.
I tried so far :

  • indicator-sensors, which showed only one core's temp (also, couldn't get it to launch on start-up)
  • psensor, but somehow I have to click on it in order to read the temp.

Am I misusing these tools ? Is there an indicator that will launch at start-up and show my two cores' temp ?

Best Answer

since psensor v1.0.1, the value of the sensors can be displayed in the top bar, see https://wpitchoune.net/psensor/ubuntu.html

You can easily upgrade to a version of psensor including this new feature by using the psensor ppa:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install psensor
