CPU temperature

[spinau]

Has anyone had any luck getting temperature to work? I am getting -nan readout with this:--cpu-format "{1} x{3} {7}GHz ({8}º)"
(Running fastfetch on a Thinkpad P51, Archlinux 6.4.7)

Temperatures are not detected by default. Try --cpu-temp

Thanks but no luck with --cpu-temp. (I may be looking in the wrong places, but I don't even see where --cpu-temp is handled, but fastfetch does accept it.). fastfetch seems to be collecting a list of temps from my system that look like this:
detectCPUTemp name 'iwlwifi_1'
detectCPUTemp name 'thinkpad'
detectCPUTemp name 'pch_skylake'
detectCPUTemp name 'nvme'
detectCPUTemp name 'acpitz'
... none of which match the temperature names in detectCPUTemp() in cpu/cpu_linux.c, which is basically why I'm not seeing any temp printed. I'll look at this further; just got hold of the source 2.0.0.

It's in src/detection/temps/temps_linux.c

https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/blob/dev/src/detection/temps/temps_linux.c#L44

Which works for me

Another option is to use thermal zone temperature

Is it available for you?

Probably neglected to do sensors-detect and reboot. Now showing a coretemp-isa-000 (not just thinkpad-isa-000 as before). Working as advertised! Thanks for the pointers.

Strange. Mine works out of box on Fedora.
