Restarting gnome-panel
by z3n on May.08, 2009, under Linux Happyness
Problem:
You followed the previous post and sucessfully installed Hardware monitor applet on your gnome, however it’s not showing. This is happening because gnome-panel didn’t updated it’s applets list, so you need to restart gnome-panel.
Solution:
There’s no cool way to do this, you need to kill the process, it will restart after that.
pkill -9 gnome-panel
Gnome hddtemp/sensors applet
by z3n on May.08, 2009, under Linux Happyness
Problem:
Monitor hardware, harddisk and other temperature, voltage and fan.
Solution:
yum install lm_sensors hddtemp gnome-applet-sensors
run sensors-detect to detect hardware sensors
then edit /etc/sysconfig/hddtemp and add your disks there
for multiple disks, example:
HDDTEMP_OPTIONS=”/dev/sd[abcdefg..]“
then you just need to run hddtemp and lm_sensors as deamon and done!
Note: if can’t see the Hardware monitor applet at gnome, read this.
