Instead you launch the app when you do. If you want to passively monitor some value you can minimize the app while selecting the value to display in the launcher icon.” The developer, Pavel Rojtberg explains: “The idea is that you do not need the sensor information all the time. No need to minimise windows out of the way. Instead of seeing yet another icon in the upper corner of your panel, you see an icon in the Unity launcher.Īnd, unlike a Conky widget, you get to see some data at all times (assuming you don’t hide the Unity launcher). When you need more details simply click the app icon to open a window with further sensor-related details in.Īs you can see in the image to the right Sensors-Unity is not panel based. Sensors UnityĬalled Sensors Unity, this app offers a quick way to get details about a specific sensor, right in the Unity launcher. There are terminal clients, desktop apps, indicator applets, and extensions all designed specifically for the purpose.īut you might not have given this nifty little utility a shot. However, this is bound to be worse than letting the kernel handle it and depends on sensors or acpi or similar being correctly configured and is really not worth it.If you want to keep an eye on your CPU temperature on Ubuntu, you have a lot of different apps to choose from. If you still think it is necessary, you can make a script that monitors the temperature and sets the frequency on demand. Now set a low frequency (for example, 1.20 GHz): sudo cpufreq-set -f 1.20 Use cpufreq to manually set the speed of your processor: sudo apt-get install cpufrequtilsįind the available processor speeds (the examples are from my laptop): LC_ALL=C cpufreq-info | grep "available frequency"Īvailable frequency steps: 2.67 GHz, 2.67 GHz, 2.53 GHz, 2.40 GHz, 2.27 GHz, 2.13 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.87 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.47 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1.20 GHz You can check which governor is set with this command: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor On Linux systems, this is controlled by the "cpu governor", if all you want is to run the job without heating up and don't care about speed, set the governor to "Powersave" sudo -iĮcho powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor Most modern systems scale the CPU frequency according to the current need. What makes you think it is a problem? What temperatures are you running at?Īnyway, here are a couple of things you might want to try. The CPU should be throttled automatically as soon as dangerous temperatures are reached.
This is normally dealt with quite well by the CPU governor and the kernel itself.
