Linux Lite Forums

I've liked the conky widget since it was added to Lite, and it is really versatile.

OP wanted something in the taskbar to have it always visible.

The way I described installation, it IS in the taskbar   See here :

Tell me if imgur link works or not,  first time upload there. Woot!

Yes, I installed it from the install/remove software app, went to panel preferences but like I said, it shows a window on the desktop which displays the info, not exactly what I was looking for. However, I tried your way with same result but gkrellm is doing the job; I can see the info in a little window which stays always on top, check it here https://imgur.com/a/meItl   and this is how the xfce4-sensors-plugin looks like https://imgur.com/a/pxawj as you can see is a big window which I have to open every time if checking temps. should I mark this thread as solved? By the way, imgur link works fine.

Maybe 1 last attempt... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
        search via Synaptic for sensors-applet


Perhaps this is more to your liking??

You're almost there, click the "Mostrar" checkbox in the xfce-sensor preferences for the wanted sensors. They will show in the taskbar.
BTW, mine show 100c because I'm in a Virtual Machine. :-P

Cheers!

Already installed. It shows in the desktop, but I didn't try  "editing the /etc/sensors.conf". Maybe I try that and see how it goes. Thanks!

Didn't work. I checked "Mostrar" and close the window but it shows nothing. I have to open the window in order to see temps values

To make conky always show so that maximized desktop windows don't cover it up try: own_window_type panel

Hi [member=3719]bfb[/member]
I've already tried psensor in another distro, however, I'm not sure I tried to make it show the info in the taskbar, I think I do and didn't work, but not entirely sure, so maybe I'll try that. Thanks for taking the time to answer!
