In reply to Allewyn. @Allewyn, I never used Kubuntu, but Psensor should work on Kubuntu as well, as it is based on Debian and Ubuntu. So, the psensor package should be available to install from the default repository...

How do I get the graph to work? Tried all instructions but can not find the mentioned Application menu in Kbunutu. hddtemp doesn't install so the Kbunutu 22.04 distro install doesn't work.

I got this working today in Fedora 31, with a bit of effort. I had some false starts when I overlooked what turned out to be critical "warnings" in the configure script. Your instructions on which headers to install were helpful, but in order to compile it, I also had to tweak the sources that I obtained from https://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files/. The issue with the sources is a reference to "is_error", a macro that can be found in old versions of the json-c library. Newer versions have dropped it, including apparently whichever version my compiler was pulling in. The latest official release of psensor was version 1.2.0, sometime in 2017. The code does still receive updates, including what appears to be a fix for the "is_error" issue, contributed a few months ago by Matheus Teixeira, then merged to master last month. My advice to anyone who is compiling this for RedHat/Fedora/etc.: 1. Read the output of "./configure" carefully. There may be a warning that just says "psensors will not be built". 2. If you get complaints at compile-time, saying "undefined reference to `is_error'", try cloning the psensor repo from gitlab and compiling this commit: abf3533d -- it's the one where the is_error fix is merged.

In reply to twinspar.

@Twinspar,

Why you compiling? when you can easily install using package manager as shown.

# apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp
