XSENSORS(1)
π XSENSORS π
okay bestie, so this is xsensors, a lil User Command that shows you your hardware sensor info as a graphical read-out π«Ά like, it's giving "your computer's vibe check, but make it cute and visual" β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
xsensors β display hardware sensor information as a graphical read-out π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
xsensors [OPTION]...
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So here's the tea: xsensors lets you view the output from the libsensors library β all that hardware health info β but in a graphical read-out instead of a sad little wall of text. no cap, it's the same data, just with main character energy π
π OPTIONS π
-fβ display all temperatures in Fahrenheit π‘οΈ (for my US besties, I see you)-cfilename β specify thelibsensorsconfiguration file π-ifilename β specify the image file to use as the graphical theme πΌοΈ (yes, you can theme it, iconic)-ttime β specify the update interval in seconds β±οΈ-vβ display the version number π’
π CONFIGURATION π
okay so, for xsensors to actually work, you need the right kernel modules, and the way to find those is to run the sensors-detect command as superuser and follow the on-screen instructions. lowkey important: a reboot may be required π
The sensors-detect command is provided by the lm-sensors package. so if you don't have it, that's your missing piece, bestie π§©
π FILES π
/usr/share/pixmaps/xsensors/default.xpm: the default graphical theme π¨/etc/sensors3.conf: the default configuration file π
