To monitor, for example, CPU, GPU, HDD, motherboard temperature, or fan speed on Ubuntu, you may need the Hardware Sensors Indicator (Indicator-Sensors), which will bring your sensors outputs on your desktop. We will also see the Psensor temperature monitor.
To install Indicator-Sensors on Ubuntu 11.04/11.10, run these commands from the terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexmurray/indicator-sensors
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-sensors
You can then start the indicator via the Unity dash by searching "Hardware Sensors Indicator":

For more options, click the Indicator-Sensors icon in the system tray and select Preferences.
- Psensor is also another hardware temperature monitor for Linux. It allows via a GUI to monitor temperature of the motherboard, CPU, NVidia GPU, hard disks, fan speed, etc. To install it on Ubuntu 11.10/11.04, run these commands from the terminal:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install psensor
That's it!
