CPUTemperature is a GNOME Shell extension that adds an applet to the main panel, which shows current CPU temperature in Degree Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Everybody loves screenshots, right?
As I couldn't find any real documentation for writing gnome-shell extensions, I based my code on better or worse snippets and tutorials found on internet. Some of the sources are mentioned below:
The project is based on Dipesh Acharya's original gnome-shell-extension-cpu-temperature. I rely on his file lists and parsing of lm_sensors output.
The extension scans a set of files in /proc and /sys to find current CPU temperature. It falls back to lm_sensors if none of the predefined files is found.
The [email protected] directory should be copied to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions or ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/:
# cp CPUTemperature\@zdyb.tk /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions
or:
$ cp CPUTemperature\@zdyb.tk ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
Please do not forget to enable the newly installed extension using for example gnome-tweak-tool.
