Might be a bit of difference with nvme and sata disks. I put a colon next to "Temperature" to get just the main temp, as my nvme drive lists warning and critical temps as well. But yeah this works well, same sort of readout you can get from hddtemp.

sudo smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1 | awk '/Temperature:/ { print $0 }'

I see ...
I had it in Beowulf and upgraded sequencially (ie: via Chimaera) to Daedalus.

@Micronaut
You could try downloading the *deb package from the Chimaera repository and then install it with the Gdebi package installer, apt or dpkg.

See here for the hows and whys.

Best,

Ah bum (the following is under Daedalus, also with the 6.1.0-22-amd64 kernel:

$ apt-cache policy hddtemp
hddtemp:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:
     0.3-beta15-54 -1
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ sudo apt install hddtemp

hddtemp=0.3-beta15-54 is the Chimaera version. When you upgrade you may keep it.

Yep ...

~$ hddtemp /dev/sdc

Edit:

hddtemp is what provides conky the data for its screen printout in my desktop.
eg:

SATA0: +${execi 60  hddtemp /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxx-exxb-xcxx-xcxx-xaxcxbafexdx | cut -c 81-86}

If you're lucky, the hard drive reports temperature in degrees centigrade.

smartctl -a /dev/sda | awk '/Temperature/ { print $10 }'

AFAIK because there is no more maintainer for quite a while.

And no direct replacement.

Why would they remove it? Was it causing some sort of problem? That's really annoying since Gkrellm needs it to read HD temp. Is there a replacement? How difficult would it be to get Gkrellm to use the standard Smartmon interface?

hddtemp has been removed as depracated. Its a pitty, but also a fact.

After upgrading a system from Devuan 4 to 5, everything important seems to work, but there is one strange quirk. The hddtemp package is present in the repositories. I can find it with search. But it's not installable. When I try it says "no candidate version found". What does that mean? Anything in the repositories is supposed to be working, not a 'candidate'.
