Install lm_sensors on a CentOS / RHEL
Type the following yum command to install software on CentOS / RHEL / Fedora Linux dev@linuxforfreshers.com:~$ sudo yum install lm_sensors

How to use to use lm-sensors on a Ubuntu or Debian?

Run the following command first time only and simply press ENTER to accept the defaults:
dev@linuxforfreshers.com:~$ sudo sensors-detect

# sensors-detect revision 4609 (2007-07-14 09:28:39 -0700)


This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.


We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no):
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801G ICH7


We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Module `i2c-i801' already loaded.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.


To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no):
Module loaded successfully.


We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may
be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence
value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address,
you can specify that address to remain unprobed.


Next adapter: saa7133[0] (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Client found at address 0x47
Handled by driver `ir-kbd-i2c' (already loaded), chip type `Pinnacle PCTV'
    (note: this is probably NOT a sensor chip!)
Client found at address 0x4b
Handled by driver `tuner' (already loaded), chip type `tda8290+75a'
    (note: this is probably NOT a sensor chip!)

Some chips are also 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):
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290...       No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290...     No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290...       No

Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8...                     No


Some Super I/O chips may also contain 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):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     Yes
Found `SMSC LPC47M182 Super IO Fan Sensors'                
    (but not activated)
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'...                       No
Trying family `ITE'...                                      No


Some CPUs or memory controllers may also contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? (YES/no):
AMD K8 thermal sensors...                                   No
Intel Core family thermal sensor...                         Success!
    (driver `coretemp')
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor...                         No


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


Driver `to-be-written' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 4000'
    Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x2e
    Chip `Andigilog aSC7621' (confidence: 5)


Driver `coretemp' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * Chip `Intel Core family thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)


I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.
Just press ENTER to continue:


To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules:


#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
i2c-i801
# Chip drivers
# no driver for Andigilog aSC7621 yet
coretemp
#----cut here----


Do you want to add these lines to /etc/modules automatically? (yes/NO)


This is an interactive program that will walk you through the process of scanning your system for various hardware monitoring chips, or sensors, supported by libsensors, or more generally by the lm_sensors tool suite. For my system coretemp and i2c-i801 driver need to loaded in order to see sensors data. Type ‘YES” to update /etc/modules files. Now you need to reboot the box.

How do I read sensors chip data such as temperature and fan speed?

Simply run the following command to see CPU temp and fan speed and other data:

dev@linuxforfreshers.com:~$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +44.0°C  (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:       +42.0°C  (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

nouveau-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +62.0°C  (high = +95.0°C, hyst =  +3.0°C)
                       (crit = +105.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)
                       (emerg = +135.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)


Or

dev@linuxforfreshers.com:~$ sensors | egrep -i --color 'core|fan|temp'
coretemp-isa-0000
Core 0:       +44.0°C  (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:       +42.0°C  (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
temp1:        +61.0°C  (high = +95.0°C, hyst =  +3.0°C)


Tip: Watch your sensors data in real time
dev@linuxforfreshers.com:~$ watch -db sensors

Uninstall lm-sensors

To remove just lm-sensors package itself from Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) execute on terminal:
sudo apt-get remove lm-sensors

Uninstall lm-sensors and it's dependent packages

To remove the lm-sensors package and any other dependant package which are no longer needed from Ubuntu Trusty.
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove lm-sensors

Purging lm-sensors

If you also want to delete configuration and/or data files of lm-sensors from Ubuntu Trusty then this will work:
sudo apt-get purge lm-sensors
To delete configuration and/or data files of lm-sensors and it's dependencies from Ubuntu Trusty then execute:
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove lm-sensors




how to check if a package is installed or not In Ubuntu ?

If you’re managing Debian or Ubuntu servers, probably, you may use dpkg or apt-get commands often. These two commands are used to install, remove, update packages.

In this brief tutorial, let us see how to check if a package is installed or not in DEB based systems.
To check whether a particular package for example firefox, is installed or not using command:

dpkg -s firefox
Sample output:

As you see in the above output, the firefox is installed.
Also, you can do the same using dpkg-query command. This command displays the decent output, and of course, you can wild cards too.

dpkg-query -l firefox
Sample output:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

ii  firefox                              35.0+build3-0ubuntu0.14 amd64                   Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla
To list all installed package in your system, enter the following command
dpkg --get-selections
Sample output:
abiword                        install
abiword-common                    install
accountsservice                    install
acl                        install
adduser                        install

zenity-common                    install
zip                        install
zlib1g:amd64                    install
zlib1g:i386                    install
The above might be very long depending upon the number of packages you have installed on your system.
You can also filter through grep to get results for the exact package you need. For example, I want to see which gcc packages are already installed on my system using dpkg command:

dpkg --get-selections | grep gcc
Sample output:
gcc                        install
gcc-4.8                        install
gcc-4.8-base:amd64                install
gcc-4.8-base:i386                install
gcc-4.9-base:amd64                install
gcc-4.9-base:i386                install
libgcc-4.8-dev:amd64                install
libgcc1:amd64                    install
libgcc1:i386                    install
Additionally, you can find location of the files within a package using the parameter “-L”.

dpkg -L gcc-4.8
Sample output:
/.
