Allow selection of the temperature sensor to be shown in panel Fixed hddtemp daemon detection when executable is not in user's path
gnome-shell-extension-cpu-temperature is an extension for displaying system temperature data in GNOME Shell.
The extension uses sensors from lm_sensors package (lm-sensors for Debian systems) to read temperature for different CPU cores and adapters. If lm_sensors is not installed, temperature is read from system files.
Optionally, this extension uses hddtemp to read hard drive temperature data. The data is updated every 15 seconds.
