Hey, I haven't done anything to modify lm_sensors (to my knowledge), but when i go into the services and try to start it it fails. This is what it outputs: "/etc/init.d/lm_sensors start returned 1 (unspecified error):
Starting up sensors: ..failed"
How can I fix this? Thanks

Run as root the command sensors-detect. If your hardware is not
supported by lm_sensors you can not use lm_sensors.
