RPM packaging of the GNOME Shell extension Freon

This package spec is for Freon, which has its own GNOME Shell extension page and source code repository.

Freon is a GNOME Shell extension for displaying the temperature of your CPU, hard disk, solid state, and video card (NVIDIA, Catalyst, and Bumblebee supported), as well as power supply voltage, and fan speed. You can choose which HDD/SSD or other devices to include, what temperature units to use, and how often to refresh the sensors readout, and they will appear in the GNOME Shell top bar. For the GPU temperature, you may need to install the vendor's driver for best results.

NOTE that if you want to see GPU temperature, you will need to install the vendor's driver and any related packages. (Nouveau unfortunately won't work for Nvidia cards.)

  • hard drive temperatures require either udisks2, or both hddtemp and netcat (udisks2 should already be installed with this package, but if you want to use hddtemp instead, you will need to install it and netcat yourself)
  • Nvidia GPU temperatures require the nvidia-settings application, typically installed with the proprietary Nvidia drivers
  • AMD GPU temperatures requires aticonfig, part of AMD Radeon Software (formerly known as AMD Catalyst)
  • Bumblebee + Nvidia requires optirun

You can read more about this and other tips on the Freon wiki.

NOTE: After installing, each user that wants it must still manually enable Freon before it will take effect. You can do so a few different ways:

  • If you've already installed the GNOME Shell integration web browser plugin, go to https://extensions.gnome.org/local/, find the extension, and click the switch to "ON."
  • Open GNOME Tweaks, go to the Extensions tab, find the extension, and click the switch to "ON."
  • Open a terminal or the desktop's command dialog, and (as your normal user account) run gnome-shell-extension-tool --enable freon@UshakovVasilii_Github.yahoo.com

You may also need to restart GNOME Shell (Open the command dialog with Alt-F2, type r, and hit enter), or log out and log back in.
