Can advancedsettings.xml not handle | in commands? To get the output for CPU temp, I need to run: sensors | grep "CPU Temp" | cut -f5 -d\ | cut -c2-5
I can probably neat it up, but it works for the purpose. So I added the following to advancedsettings.xml:
<cputempcommand>echo "$(sensors | grep "CPU Temp" | cut -f5 -d\ | cut -c2-5)C"</cputempcommand>

However, it still just shows up as "CPU Temperature: ?" in System Info -> Hardware.

I followed the reasoning for the GPU temp, which worked fine (with <gputempcommand>echo "$(nvidia-settings -tq gpuCoreTemp) C"</gputempcommand>), but still nothing.

Am I missing something here?

I hate to top my own thread, but does anyone have a clue here? It's a very minor issue, but I'm also quite anal about these things and seeing that big ? in the CPU Temp is driving me nuts

I don't know if advancedsettings allows pipes, but could you embed the command into a single .sh file and have advancedsettings point to that file?

Awesome, thank you my good man. Did not realize that the decimal was the issue. I tip my hat.

sudo apt-get update
