#196018 — MATE Temperature Sensor applet on Stretch

SubjectMATE Temperature Sensor applet on Stretch
Message-ID<vSzvb-2e0-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
Some time back on a different laptop and an older release (Wheezy???) I 
had run something which displayed temperatures on the Panel.

Today I searched Synaptic for "mate sensors" and then installed "MATE 
Sensors Applet". It runs.

HOWEVER, seven of the twelve values displayed are 0 degrees C. I assume 
that only means that there is physically no sensor to monitor on this 
laptop. In the app I recall using had an option to not display 
meaningless values. I can't find documentation or hints that this is 
possible.

Is it?
Any suggestions as to what I might have been using? {I have used only 
Gnome2 and MATE as DE.}

TIA

Take a look in /sys/class/thermal, likely /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*
Temperature: temp, of what: type.

Cheers,
David.

A duckduckgo.com *SEARCH* for
"mate sensors applet configure disable"
*APPEARS* to find suitable documentation.

Thank you. I evidently didn't use the right terms. I usedto make a game 
searching for things others couldn't find. Old age?
