Temperature in i3 wm?

[Oficre_josef]

Oh, i got it, ty a lot, will try to write something to developers

One unrelated question please.
I use i3 wm, in custom i3status conf

cpu_temperature 0 {
        format = "T: %degrees C"
        path = ""
}

And its give me a lot of numbers in output, what should i put in path to get only hw.sensors.cpu0.temp0 for example?
( path = "/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp1_input" this path in man )

This forum's admins recommend that unrelated questions/discussions go in separate threads, it makes searches here much more effective. Don't worry, I'm sure ocicat or one of the other admins will separate this last question and any answers to a new thread.

I use i3 wm...

I've never used i3 or any other tiling window manager before. I've just installed it (and am using it now to reply) and when I have some time I see if I can manipulate sensor information on this machine and perhaps give you some guidance. Unless someone else replies before I have the opportunity. Which happens often. Even more frequently, people reply after I do with much better answers.

Welcome!

We do attempt to implement some level of continuity in thread discussions, so this new topic has been separated from its parent thread:

OK. I've had a little time to look at this.

When you installed the package for x11/i3status, which installs automatically as a run time dependency of x11/i3, this message appears which you may have missed:

Information for inst:i3status-2.8p0

Install notice:
Before running i3status, a configuration file needs to be created.
Copy the provided /usr/local/share/examples/i3status/i3status.conf
to ~/.i3status.conf and modify as necessary.

You can get this message to appear again with $ pkg_info -M i3status. If you leave out the package name with that command, you will see any admin messages for all installed packages that have them.

That example file contains these settings for temperature monitoring:

order += "cpu_temperature cpu0" 
order += "cpu_temperature acpitz0"

.
.
.

cpu_temperature cpu0 {
         format = "C: %degrees C"
         path = "cpu0"
}

cpu_temperature acpitz0 {
        format = "TZ: %degrees C" 
}

Try these, and see if they work for your Thinkpad. They work on my little Asus netbook.

I'm enjoying i3. Thanks!

TY a lot, i thought somewhere is some examples, and even tried "find " command, but its easier than I thought
