Psensor is a graphical hardware monitoring application for Linux.
- the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using lm-sensors).
- the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl).
- the temperature of ATI GPUs (using ATI ADL SDK).
- the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp, libatasmart or udisks2).
- the rotation speed of the fans.
- the temperature of a remote computer.
- the CPU load.
Note
OmniSensor can also be executed from TTY session without the need of a window manager / desktop manager simply by running omnisensor command
A new feature of PSensor is to allow manual fan speed controlling by writing PWM values to the pwm controllers each asociated to the certain fan managed by the kernel.
It relies on a simple user interface that lists all available cooling fans inside your computer.
json-c glib-2.0 libgtop-2.0 gio-unix-2.0 udisks2 libatasmart X11 libkmod
also check out build configuration for specific fatures: xmake f --menu then enter Project Configuartion
then build: xmake
Note
The GTK based desktop GUI will be removed in the future due to old unmaintained dependencies and code bloatware.
New GUI is currently located in src/new-gui/ and it will serve as the official desktop application of psensor fork
Same goes for the old web server which is currently very unsafe to use in terms of security.

Note
On wayland when running with sudo psensor-ui can fail with ERROR new-gui/ui_entry.cpp:168: Error: SDL_Init(): No available video device
To fix this simply pass the -E flag to sudo : sudo -E psensor-ui
This preserves the environment variables
