I want to use a temperature plugin but am running into several problems...
My board is Asus P8B75-M LX PLUS and i'm running 0.4.36 / 2.6.32-5-amd64 and if i do a simple
No sensors are detected
So i manually installed a newer version (lm-sensors 3.3.4) and now i get this message when running
Driver `coretemp':
* Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)
Driver `nct6775':
* ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `Nuvoton NCT5532D/NCT6779D Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Warning: the required module nct6775 is not currently installed
on your system. If it is built into the kernel then it's OK.
Otherwise, check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for
driver availability.

Since i'm still getting the same sensors output
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +27.8°C (crit = +92.0°C)
temp2: +29.8°C (crit = +92.0°C)
Which is not the actual temperature, I'm guessing i need to install this nct6775 driver...
I downloaded this driver https://github.com/groeck/nct6775/ but when i try to build it i'm getting this error
The only thing i could find online is that i would need to patch the kernel with i2c? Is that true? Is that possible?
I couldn't find how to do that so i'm lost now ...
When sensors-detect runs i see this output
which makes me think maybe this ict is already installed? Maybe i just got the wrong kernel header? I used this command
Edit:
I got it to compile by adding 2 things to the compat.h
I chose 0x290 because it showed up in the sensors detect dialog
sensors-detect now doesn't show the warning that no driver was found but the values i get are still the same
The problem is that i don't even know if anything i did makes any sense since i have 0 knowledge about all this stuff
