The last copr build for psensor on the copr repos is 6 years ago
needless to say you probably won't want to use it, and would probably have a lot of problems layering due to deprecated dependencies
You should probably look at lm_sensors instead
or any of the sensor apps on flathub
actually don't layer it, it is available in brew
just do
ok I did that but I cannot find the program how is it called?
lm-sensors is a terminal program
if you want a gui you can go to bazaar
the command if not found tough
and yes I want something that look like psensor where I have all my temps with max and min and current in a compact window
if you are on kde you can use kde widgets
if you are on gnome you can use gnome extensions
there are system monitor widgets/extensions for that
run
yes I'm on kde but I don't really know how to do all that like setting up my taskbars properly was already hard enought
on the taskbar, right click
select add or manage widgets
Find System monitor sensor
click it once to automatically place it, drag and drop to specify where you want to put it
is this the right thing?
that would be the desktop widget
if you want it to live in the desktop you can use that
if you want it to live in the taskbar, you need to select it from the taskbar
Once you placed it at your desired position
this is how my second monitor looks and psensor would be in the currently unsued space normally
right click and click Configure System Monitor Sensor
wait, do you want it to just be a normal window?
If you want it to just be a normal window then just open system monitor
I have that alreay open in the left down cornor so you say this can do temps too?
Yes
I have to setup every single sensor seperatly on my own right?
Kind of?
or you could download a preset
Get New Pages
or if you feel adventurous you can also just open a terminal window and run
Nah idk I really would like to have something that just looks as close as possible like psensor
I just want every component that has a temprature
Min Current Max temp
on windows I used msi afterburner for that

Mission Center is more like taskmanager but I already have a taskmanager
hm ok the other tool might work that one actually has all my temps
I made myself a script file so I can just click on it but that dosen't open a terminal do you know of a way to make it open a terminal window?
how do you want to open it
through app menu, desktop icon, or keyboard shortcut
optimally tough a taskbar icon but given its the same image then the terminal I would say desktop icon
find the .desktop file of the terminal
probably would do
actually no that is under /usr/share/applications/
You can copy that and put it under ~/.local/share/applications/
copy this
and then open it with Kwrite
You should be able to see this
At line 31, find
Exec=kde-ptyxis
make it Exec=kde-ptyxis -x s-tui
And then edit the name as you like
somethine like Name=Temperatures
and then also rename the .desktop filesomething like this would do
