I'm trying to detect my fan speeds.

I've installed lm-sensors but when I run sensors I get this:

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +63.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 0:         +63.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1:         +63.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

I'm a bit confuse as why is this because I had Elementary OS freya installed and sensors gave me the fan speed.

How can I fix this on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?

EDIT

Here's the log after running sudo sensors-detect

  • Did you configure sensors with sudo sensors-detect? – Takkat Apr 19 '16 at 14:12
  • @Takkat I ran the command, and answered everything yes as I've no idea what it's doing, it added coretemp to the /etc/modules and I restarted my pc but still no luck. – Johhan Santana Apr 19 '16 at 14:16
  • Looks like your current system configurations doesn't allow reading the fan speed on Linux. A newer kernel and lm-sensors version may change that, so you could try the live DVD/USB of Ubuntu 16.04. – David Foerster Apr 20 '16 at 20:21
  • I am puzzled. Your sensors output says you have a Dell Inspiron 3521 laptop. According to the Dell website this has the Intel HM77 chipset. According to the Intel chipset datasheet this chipset only has fan speed monitoring and PWM controls in the workstation and server models and you have the mobile model. – Steve Roome Apr 21 '16 at 13:33
  • @SteveRoome what does this means? This Dell Inspiron is weird, as it came with 6gb of ram instead of 4 as they sell it. – Johhan Santana Apr 21 '16 at 14:00
  • It means I cant see how you could have monitored or controlled the fan speed in the past as it doesnt look like your laptop has the necessary hardware. – Steve Roome Apr 21 '16 at 18:12
