Hi,
I’m using BurnInTest Linux V5.0 (command-line version) and encountering an issue where it fails to detect any temperature sensors.
I’ve installed lm-sensors, hddtemp, and smartctl as recommended.
These tools work fine when I run them manually and do report temperature information.
However, when I use BurnInTest, it cannot retrieve this data.
this is the main menu:

and this is the temperature screen:
Here’s my current temperature configuration in the config file:
## Temperature settings
<Temperature>
## Auto select which temperature sensors to watch
AutoSelectSensors
## Temperature sample time in seconds (min 5)
SamplePeriod 5
## Scale - use either Celcius or Fahrenheit
UseCelcius
#UseFahrenheit
## Stop testing if a sensor records a temperature higher than the threshold
#StopTestOnHighTemp
## If not using AutoSelectSensors can add sensor names to look for here, must match what BurnInTest displays eg "CPU 0 Core 1"
## One per line between the "Sensors" tag (up to maxium 64), threshold after a ','
#<Sensors>
#CPU 0 Core 0,90
#CPU 0 Core 1,90
#CPU 0 Core 2,90
#HDD 0,90
#</Sensors>
I’ve also tried commenting out AutoSelectSensors and manually specifying sensors under <Sensors> (e.g., CPU 0 / HDD 0), but I’m getting the same results.
Has anyone faced a similar issue or knows what could be going wrong? Any help would be appreciated!
