Hey, looking for something like HWInfo64 for Manjaro. I run Windows 10 only for gaming but the main problem I got with Manjaro is the fan speed (looks like). On Windows my PC is silient before I start to play, on Manjaro it is not so I try to figure out but sensors over terminal just show me CPU Thx
That’s common in laptops where the BIOS does not reveal such info (fan info in your case) and it manages everything itself (controling the fans), you haven’t told us about your system, is it a desktop or a laptop?
I didn’t know that myself, I just know lm_sensors is the right package. Personally, I use KDE widgets. My reason being that I’ve got enough resources and it looks better than good.
@Wollie I try this last time and after I run systemctl status fancontrol.service it shows 0 RPM which is wrong and after reboot I get this. Thats why I never try it again.
ERROR: Root device mounted successfully, but /sbin/init does not exist. Bailing out, you are on your own now. Good luck.
full fledged application needs full fledged scripting solution as well if you want a fair fight sensors doesn’t track anything else but thermal properties. The rest must be obtained from different utilities.
It lives as a service and has a web UI, have you read the holy arch wiki entry?
As it runs for me. Still not a fair fight for hwinfo64, but in other way around. This tool is overkill.
Netdata does look nice indeed. But I’m pretty sure it does rely on the sensors data - like all the other linux utilities out there. So if you can’t get sensors working, I’m afraid you are out of luck.
You didn’t told us which DE you are on. For gnome I believe there is a sensors package and for KDE there is ksysguard. Personally I use the latter, which looks like this:
If you want to control fanspeed, you need to setup fancontrol (which is a PITA). But I believe there are also GUI for it. You can find all about it on the arch wiki.
@famo this fancontrol tool broke my PC
It’s the only missing tools (Netlimiter and HWinfo64) but it looks like it is a real PITA and not working for the most (or maybe noob unfriendly)
I use KDE btw
