If something like this is sufficent, then you can simply write a small shellscript that tells you the CPU temp and add a 'command-applet' to your MATE that starts this shell script.

Then turbo is switched off and temp drops 10☌ to 62☌ with a non-turbo speed of 2600 MHz. Is there some way of making it detect them? This is also an issue for the same OS on the Raspberry Pi, so if you find a solution please list it here for general usage.Ĭheck the upper right corner of the screenshot of my OGST image (which also uses MATE): The temperature starts at 72☌ with a single CPU running at 100 in turbo mode of 3200 MHz. I believe its name is hardware sensors or similar, and it is intended to inform the user of various sensor readings, but none are detected.

This applet can be installed by right-clicking the taskbar and 'add'. I have no way of monitoring the CPU temperature, and it can get QUITE warm during compiling. The Open Hardware Monitor supports most hardware monitoring chips found on todays mainboards. The taskbar sensors applet does not detect any of them. The Open Hardware Monitor is a free open source software that monitors temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load and clock speeds of a computer.

I have noticed a possible problem with the Ubuntu mate desktop in 15.04 and 16.04.
