Sensors Page Fails: sensors tool missing after KDE Plasma 6.4 upgrade

Technical details: The sensors tool is required to display this page, but could not be found. You may be able to install it using your package manager; either way, please report this packaging issue to Fedora Linux.

I’m not sure if this is indeed a packaging issue, but I wasn’t able to find the appropriate “sensors tool” in Fedora repositories.

This issue affects both the Fedora Linux KDE edition and Kinoite.

Thank you in advance.

The package is called lm_sensors so you can just run:

sudo dnf install lm_sensors

or just:

sudo dnf install sensors

Thank you. lm_sensors works for me. However, why wasn’t lm_sensors installed automatically after the upgrade? On my system, only lm_sensors-libs was installed.

See: Issue #636: Fedora Kinoite 42 does not have sensors installed, breaking KInfoCenter 6.4 Sensors page. - SIG - Pagure.io

Question from a “non-tech” corner. I don’t have sensors installed, and I have never previously used them.

The app I use is Resources (Processes, GPU). I have Fedora Kinoite 42. Do I need to install sensors, and if - how?

PS. “sudo” command doesn’t work on Kinoite. Thank you.

No, you don’t need to do anything.
I don’t think Resources Flatpak app uses the system lm_sensors. Additionally, lm_sensors will be included as a dependency in the Kinoite base image.
