    Hello there,

    Just finishing up getting my Aspire one to the way I want it and I thought it would be nice if I i could run conky to keep check on the health of the hardware. One of the things i was most interested in was the CPU temp as i have done the Fan mod, however I keep getting this error:

    Code:
    Conky: can't open '/sys/bus/i2c/devices/9191-0290/temp2_input': No such file or directory
    Now I know that the folder 9191-0290 might not be the same on my Aspire One but the devices directory is empty. However I found a folder called i2c-adaptor in /sys/class/ and was wondering if that was the set of files that was meant to be in the i2c folder. It turns out that that the dir /sys/class/i2c-adaptor/i2c-0/ is a symbolic link as well. Also, I tried making my own symbolic link from the 12c-0 link to the i2c folder as root, but I kept getting operation not permitted.

    Well I have no idea what to do here or really what i2c really is. Does anyone know and/or have a solution to this?

    Thanks
