The corresponding ACPI information is available in this file:

/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature

However it may or may not work, see this bug report I filed long ago:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/27233

If you are lucky and it works on your machine, then I think there are a
few GUI/Gnome applets available, that will display this information in a
convienent manner.

You need the magic of "lm-sensors":

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

Then try:

sudo sensors-detect

Follow the instructions, and if you're one of the lucky ones with a
supported chipset, typing "sensors" should show you all the magic
numbers with temperatures, fan speeds and other things (assuming your
motherboard has the supported sensors).


After that, you can start installing any number of GUI-based tools for
displaying your sensor output in real time; gkrellm comes to mind, and
if you're a KDE fan there's a number of panel applets and
(super)karamba themes that will pull the sensor info too.


Usual disclaimers apply

Hi Aaron,

lm-sensors is a very good utility for measuring cpu temperatures,
voltage etc. . . Give a try.

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

dvincent@smithers:~$ acpi -V
Battery 1: charging, 99%, charging at zero rate - will never fully
charge.
Battery 2: charged, 99%
Thermal 1: ok, 48.0 degrees C
AC Adapter 1: on-line

so that's why my charging light never goes off and sometimes i have to
remove battery 1 to get battery 2 to charge.

nice command - thanks!
