看到網上有一些朋友裝好Ubuntu後無法利用主板的傳感器監控硬件狀態，把自己的安裝心得寫出來，希望對剛接觸Ubuntu的人有些幫助。
這是以前的老文章，僅供參考。
首先說下我的配置,4年前的機器:
代碼:
CPU：AMD Athlon XP 2200+
主板：Soltek SL-KT400-C
操作系統：Ubuntu Feisty 7.04
由於CPU的散熱風扇效果不是很好，夏天最熱的時候CPU溫度高到70幾度，所以在Windows下有采用CPU idle的方式行降溫。安裝Ubuntu後對機器的狀態自然就比較重視了，特別關心CPU的溫度，所以經過Google,Baidu後總結得到的安裝方法：
第一步：安裝lm-sensors和sensors-applet(也可以選用後面新找到的一個軟件CompTemp Monitor)，打開終端輸入：
代碼:
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors sensors-applet
根據提示鍵入Root密碼，然後等待下載並安裝完後關閉終端。在你想要顯示傳感器溫度的面板位置右鍵，選擇“添加到面板”菜單命令，在列表中選擇“Hardware SensorsMonitor”後單擊“添加”按鈕即可添加該Applet程序。能直接檢測到傳感器那最好了。如果沒有檢測到傳感器(我的就沒有顯示)，顯示”Nosensors found”則轉到下一步。
第二步：手動配置傳感器：
Ubuntu安裝的時候可能沒有對傳感器進行配置,需要手動配置傳感器。lm-sensors軟件提供了一個非常好的命令：sensors-detect，會自動偵測所需模塊,類似Windows軟件常見的“下一步”模式，引導你配置好傳感器,向導中的問題按提示回答“Yes”或者"ENTER".一般一路下去輸入"Yes"/"ENTER"就可以了,我檢測配置的時候就一路Yes和ENTER.
在終端輸入：
代碼:
sudo sensors-detect
過程：
代碼:
linuxidc@Ubuntu-desktop:~$ sudo sensors-detect
# sensors-detect revision 4171 (2006-09-24 03:37:01 -0700)
This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): yes
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-viapro' for device 0000:00:11.0: VIA Technologies VT8233A/8235 South Bridge
We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Module `i2c-viapro' already loaded.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.
To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no): yes
Module loaded successfully.
We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may
be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence
value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address,
you can specify that address to remain unprobed.
Next adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 0400
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): yes

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to
write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though.
Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots!
Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): yes

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): yes
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue: ENTER
Driver `lm90' (should be inserted):

EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly
found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some
laptops, for example.
Driver `it87' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')

I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.
Just press ENTER to continue: ENTER
To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules:
#----cut here----

#上面的內容是關鍵,列舉了啟動時要載入的模塊,檢測結果和我在Windows下用EVERESTUltimate軟件查得到主板的情況一致:VIA KT400的芯片組和傳感器ITE IT8705F, National LM90 (ISA290h, SMBus4Ch),如果上述檢測未能找到出你主板上的傳感器,查看/usr/share/doc/lm-sensors/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html 或者去lm-sensors wiki:http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki 查找解決方法.
Do you want to add these lines to /etc/modules automatically? (yes/NO)yes
