Hello all I was wondering if there is any applet I can add to the gnome desktop panel for hardware temps.

Thanks.

It's called the "Sensors" applet. Package is sensors-applet.

You can also do this:

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

Then:

watch -n1 sensors

I think you also have to run sensors-detect to detect your sensors, and then load the required kernel modules.

It is usually automatically done. On this system, I didn't have to do anything special in order to use `sensors`.
