Thanks

You should find it auto-starts. The post-install script places it in /root/.config/autostart. (Hidden file; the 'eye' icon in ROX will show them to you).

In tahr64 fresh pupsaves, the log fills with an error message. I reported this in the tahrpup Bugs thread here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 609#907609

The subsequent posting mentions that a restartX clears the problem. This occurs on a boot with no pupsave. Not sure if it continues after creating a pupsave.

Thanks 01micko - pmcputemp working well in a 2003 Dell 1100, 2GB ram, 2.6GHz CPU. This is a P4 cpu and she burns at the high end for daily tasks - so your application is pretty vital to monitoring the health of this ol' beauty, Cheers!
Interestingly, although it was already included in the pupplet that I'm currently testing (in the subject line), I had to re-install v 0.63 via an updated PPM, before it would work - from terminal. I noticed that doesn't have a menu entry - would having that make it easier to call up for environments such as LXPanel etc? I've included it in the startup menu (shown below) but haven't rebooted yet to test. Cheers again - an essential addition to Puppy in these older machines.

UPDATE: yup there on reboot, looking good!
Forgot to mention - usb frugal installs from a multiboot YUMI stick.

Strangest thing - installed a new hdd into the Dell 1100 laptop, re-used my multi-boot YUMI usb drive to establish a new LXxenial as per my recipe above, and can't find pmcputemp in the updated PPM. This time I first "remove built-in package" 'd the previous pmcputemp that wasn't working after I got the response as follows:

Code: Select all

root# pmcputemp
loading k10temp
/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp is written to /root/.config/pmcputemp
An attempt has been made to create a configuration file

(pmcputemp:21235): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed

(pmcputemp:21235): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed

(pmcputemp:21235): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed...

...and so on. I'm pretty sure I hadn't download the pet on the first page of the thread, but maybe I've had a touch of old-timer's... working well now as a pet install. I vote it should go into the PPM and into Puppy canon

Updated pmcputemp .pet, 64 bit - changed first search path to 'platform' one, as it seems most devices use that rather than original 'virtual' one, and previously search would stop after 'virtual' path with unchanging temperature figure on many cpus. Uninstall other temperature monitors & restart x after install.

and the updated 32bit version of pmcputemp

Posted: **Tue 12 Mar 2019, 22:11**

UPDATE: - the above .pet files and the original have a small but constant memory leak (~100mb a day). If you reboot/shutdown daily, not a problem for systems with 1+ Gb ram. RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 87#1022287

The updated version pmcputemp-0.63a-32.pet works well on my NUC8i7BEH pc in BionicPup32 with 32 bit kernel 5.0.1 . Thank's a lot ozsouth

Hello

Which temp .pet do I use for BionicBeaver64?

Thank you.

Sky

Sky, try the one linked below first. It works in bionicpup64-8.0 on my Intel & AMD cpus. IIRC the dm1 has an AMD E-450.

There are updates at my github... but on one of my machines there seems to be a bug in cairo! However memory leaks that were concerning cairo are fixed.

Anyway - see https://github.com/01micko/pmcputemp

Older 0.72 pets are at ibiblio, built on slacko based on slackware 14.2 (YMMV on anything older)

64 bit https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... 4_s702.pet

Hello 01micko!

Thanks! An excellent utility. I am using pmcputemp 63a on a WeeDog64-Arch and a WeeDog64-Void. Also the the 32 bit versions of the Void build is running it.

Works beautifully on both types of operating system which are configured with a JWM / ROX --pinboard desktop.

Looks like pmcputemp-0.72-x86_64_s702 is running as expected on the latest WeeDog64-Arch available.

Dear 01micko,

Thanks. Just for your info, I also compiled it in Mint19 and RPi4 Buster and it works great on those platforms, too. Very nice and compact.

With kind regards,
vovchik
