How to use lm_sensors with Gkrellm in redhat 7.1

I have gkrellm (latest) installed, and have an A7V133 (which has cpu temp reporting capabilities), and the package manager (and console command: locate) show that I have lm_sensors 2.5.5 installed. But I cant find how to display cpu temperature in Grellm. Could someone please help me out? Thanks.
 
you right click gkrellm and go to configuration, go down to plugins and the lm_sensors should be in the list of plugins, just click enable. if its not in the list, then its not installed properly.
 
I think you also have to have something turned on in the kernel for lm_sensor to work. i2o or something like that? It may or may not be setup in the default kernel. Sorry, I'm not booted to linux on the box I have it set up in, so I can't check right now.

something like that, i tried to set it up one time but got annoyed after having to mess with a million things just to check my damn temperature so i gave up. not much point in running an extra app so i can stare at a "52C" anyways...
 
The plugin choice under gkrellm has no options in it. Its an empty grey box. I guess I have to turn on the lm_sensors like ergeorge said. Any idea how to do that? I want it because my fan has fallen off the cpu once. I was lucky that time, I randomly decided to clean the inside and realized i was running without a fan. Too close a call to let it to. Thanks guys.
 
Try this:

rpm -qa | grep sensor

you should see something like:

lm_sensors-2.5.5-3

Maybe not the same version of course.
Now do this:

rpm -q --list lm_sensors-2.5.5-3

Look in this list for the path to the faq & readme files. That should be a good start for you.

I seem to remember there being a configuration program that you had to run to detect & configure your sensors.
And the kernel module that you might need to add is i2c, not i2o.
Good luck
 
dont you have to install plugins in either

/usr/local/lib/gkrellm/plugins
or
/usr/lib/gkrellm/plugins
