This is the reality of temperature detection. Sometimes, both methods (libsensors and thermal zone) will detect a temperature, but only one will make sense. Sometimes, only one method will give a value. In your case, neither works.
However, some processors appear to keep their thermal zone info in different locations, so another temperature tool may find it.

Was the temperature included?

I downloaded and modified the CPUtemp file as per your instructions to show the temperature in fahrenheit.
But the display window has some unknown character symbols shown.
See attached example.
How to fix it?

That's the degree symbol. But I thought that we had the program fixed so it never showed it. Do you have the latest version from above?

I downloaded CPUtemp-1.3.pet and ran it from its own directory.
Both the original and the modified one showed the unknown character symbol.
I think the message in the terminal may help in determining what is happening.
The old 1.1 version did not display the unknown character.

What Puppy are you using? None of my machines show that symbol anymore.

Version 1.3 runs the script /usr/local/bin/CPUtemp. It calls /usr/local/bin/sensors. Is that where you are? Or do you have an older version still installed? Type

I had the old version still installed, but it was my dumb mistake to think I could just run the new script without removing the earlier version.
I removed it, installed the version 1.2 pet and everything works and displays properly.
I should have followed instructions fully and not tried to shortcut testing it.
So there is NOTHING WRONG with your script and PET.
But you cannot control the actions of a dumb user. ME.

CPUTemp - A CPU Temperature Monitor |
|
Thought I would give 1.3 pet a try on
HP Pentium 4 with 2.80 ghz cpu
2 gb memory
Intel 82865 chipset
puppy 525 and then 528 on ext 4 partition.
I installed pet, restarted x and saw flame icon in system tray.
Clicked on it and said CPU Scaling Tool was not running.
Tried to set this up and every entry I tried (except one that was not recommended) did not update screen and allow program to work
Then checked bios setup and found following:
CPU Warning Temperature 85 c/185 f
CPU Shutdown Temperature 90 c/ 194 f
System Warning Temperature 60 c/ 140 f
System Shutdown Temperature 65 c/149 f
CPU Temperature 57 c/134 f
System Temperature 45 c/113 f
CPU Fan Speed 2275 rpm
Chassis Fan Speed 1498 rpm
I would like to get this running but at loss on how.
Any ideas/help will be appreciated

I have an IBM desktop box with this processor and I could never get on-demand CPU scaling to work with it.
IIRC, it would show a thermal zone temperature. Does yours?

When I click on flame icon in tray, it tells me that CPU scaling not set up
As stated above, when I try to set up CPU Scaling, none of the entries work.
I have this app running on ibm thinkpad R40, 1.4 ghz cpu, 1gb mem, ATI Technologies Radeon Graphics. It runs great on this box.
Appears this app will not work on my desktop (HP Pent 4)
thanks for your reply

Does CPUtemp show any temperature reading on your HP Pentium 4?

When I type CPUtemp in console, following is result
/root
# CPUtemp
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor: No such file or directory
cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq: No such file or directory
When I type sensors-detect at console, following is result
/root
# sensors-detect
# sensors-detect revision 5818 (2010-01-18 17:22:07 +0100)
# System: Hewlett-Packard HP dx2000 MT (PX839AA)
# Board: Lite-On Tech. 08FCh
This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):
Following is summary of scan for sensors
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:

I checked and driver smsc47m1 is in /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/kernel/drivers/hwmon in lucid 528.
Does this need to be added to list of drivers found in CPUtemp pet?

What happens if you follow the Help instructions in CPUtemp for loading this module?

On the screen where you select driver, I have tried all except one noted that should be avoided. None of the are accepted when I try to apply.
Appears this has something to do with fact that Bios date is 2/23/2005 and Cpu Scaling Tool has entry---------> Bios released prior to 2007.
As stated earlier, I set this up on IBM Thinkpad R40 and works flawlessly

I'm talking about the Help instructions that refer to Line 5 of CPUtemp - ie. when you click the Help button.
The CPU Frequency Scaling Tool is a separate program from CPUtemp. You can't configure one from the other.
CPUtemp is not guaranteed to find a temperature reading on all machines.
