In a Linux system , knowing the hardware temperature is very important. Especially for high-load scenarios such as servers and workstations, knowing the temperature of the CPU can help administrators discover and resolve system faults in a timely manner, improving system stability and reliability. In the Ubuntu system, obtaining the CPU temperature is a relatively basic operation, but it may be difficult for novices. Therefore, this article will introduce how to get the CPU temperature in the Ubuntu system.
Use Lm_Sensors to detect cpu temperature
Lm_sensors is a command- line tool to display current readings of all chip sensor data, including CPU temperature. By default, Ubuntu LInux does not have Lm_Sensors installed, therefore, we have to install them ourselves.
bob@bob-PC:~$ sudo apt install lm-sensors
Detect hardware
Next, we need to detect the hardware monitoring chip installed on the computer. Now we can start detecting the computer's hardware sensors:
bob@bob-PC:~$ sudo sensors-detect
