Need to get more info on my sensors, fan speed etc

Question

I had sensors working in 18.04 but having difficulties with 20.04

I installed sensors and ran sensors-detect selecting the default choices.

I would appreciate the opportunity to learn what I need to do next.

Thanks.

And my hardware info. Not sure if you need other info.

Trying some other things suggested by some members:

 E: Package 'hddtemp' has no installation candidate

I tried this to install hddtemp.

I tried this

sudo apt update wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/h/hddtemp/hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb sudo apt install ./hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb and got Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/andy/hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

I ran sensors-detect.

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):

Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no): 
Probing for IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No Probing forIPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8...                     No
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (yes/NO):
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `it87':

ISA bus, address 0x228
Chip `ITE IT8620E Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

Driver `k10temp' (autoloaded):

Chip `AMD Family 15h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)

Driver `fam15h_power' (autoloaded):

Chip `AMD Family 15h power sensors' (confidence: 9)

To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
Chip drivers
it87
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!
Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)
Unloading cpuid... OK

I ran sensors -f and got this:

Try this. It works for Asus motherboards, I do not know if it works for Gigabyte motherboards. — Doug Smythies, Dec 04 '22 at 23:42
@Doug Smythies E: Package 'hddtemp' has no installation candidate and psensors does not show fan speeds. — fixit7, Dec 05 '22 at 00:08
You are asking 2 different questions. hddtemp is just what it sounds like, HDD (Hard Disk Drive) Temp. That is different than sensors which gives you CPU and motherboard temps and fan speeds. They are unrelated tools. Please update the question with just one question. — rtaft, Dec 05 '22 at 20:22
As far as the original question regarding sensors, run sensors-detect again, this time pay attention to the output, especially the Super IO section..in fact post the Super IO section here. — rtaft, Dec 05 '22 at 20:31

Try these commands to install hddtemp:

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/h/hddtemp/hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb  
mv hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb /tmp
cd /tmp
sudo apt install ./hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb

For sensors, first load the kernel driver that can read drive temperatures using the following command:
```
sudo modprobe drivetemp
```

Then run these commands:

   sudo sensors-detect
   sensors

In 20.04, hddtemp is in the universe repository. Check to make sure that has been added to your system.

$ apt policy hddtemp
hddtemp:
  Installed: 0.3-beta15-53
  Candidate: 0.3-beta15-53
  Version table:
 *** 0.3-beta15-53 500

How do I add it to community-maintained free...? – fixit7 Dec 05 '22 at 01:59
Just tick the box – Organic Marble Dec 05 '22 at 02:30
It was already ticked. – fixit7 Dec 05 '22 at 02:53

Something's messed up in your packaging system then. More info needed. – Organic Marble Dec 05 '22 at 04:36
I have added a lot of material to my original post. And Linux Geanie provided the answer. – fixit7 Dec 07 '22 at 04:16
