the other issue comes in the form of this message "/bin/sh: cannot create /dev/nul: Permission denied"

it's what i get for my drivetemp and.....

Hi,

You need to run the DriveTemp script as root. Your own username does not have sufficient permissions to run it by default.

Re the "no sensors found" for the CPU temp script. I guess it's possible your mobo/chip really doesn't monitor anything at all. Do you have a file called
"modules" in the /etc folder. If so, what's in it?:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/modules

When you ran the sensors-detect command as root, did it run through ok or did it throw horrible errors? Perhaps you could try running it again and dumping the output in your next post.

Ian.

semi-side note...family is the only user on this comp so how would i go about entering it in as a sudo process if from what i understand family is the only user i've created so far...shouldn't that be the the root user?

and when i type in cd /etc/modules i get

Code: Select all

-bash: cd: /etc/modules/: Not a directory

simple guess says that means i screwed up somewheres?
