Hi all,
I want to use lm_sensors
to see the temperatures of my system. I used sensors-detect
to detect the sensors. It’ll create a /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors
file. I copied the content of this file and deleted the file. In my NixOS I added this to create /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors
:
environment = {
etc = {
"sysconfig/lm_sensors".text = ''
# Generated by sensors-detect on Sat Nov 21 18:37:56 2020
# This file is sourced by /etc/init.d/lm_sensors and defines the modules to
# be loaded/unloaded.
#
# The format of this file is a shell script that simply defines variables:
# HWMON_MODULES for hardware monitoring driver modules, and optionally
# BUS_MODULES for any required bus driver module (for example for I2C or SPI).
HWMON_MODULES="nct6775"
'';
};
};
This creates /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors
(a symbolic link to the real file). After switching to this new config I saw that the module nct6775
is not being loaded. I find some NixOS configs where nct6775
is being loaded using the option boot.kernelParams
. So I added this to my NixOS config:
boot.kernelModules = [ "kvm-amd" "nct6775" ];
After switching and reboot the nct6775
is being loaded. My question are
1 - /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors
is not being used?
2 - Using boot.kernelModules
is the right way?
Thanks.
