How do I get the CPU temperature?

Best Answer

Install lm-sensors Install lm-sensors

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

After installation type the following in terminal

sudo sensors-detect

You may also need to run

sudo service kmod start

It will ask you few questions. Answer Yes for all of them. Finally to get your CPU temperature type sensors in your terminal.

To see HDD temperature Install hddtemp Install hddtemp 

sudo apt-get install hddtemp

Output: 

$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda        
/dev/sda: ST3160813AS: 34°C
