How to change CPU speed display in Fahrenheit
By default the temperature in Celsius is hard-wired into Jupiter.
If youwant to change CPU speed display in Celsius to Fahrenheit use the following procedure
First backup your copy of existing jupiter configuration file
cp /usr/bin/jupiter ~/jupiter
Next edit the file:
gksudo gedit /usr/bin/jupiter
Find the following section in the file:
def get_temperature(self):
temp = int(self.collect_data(self.temp))
temp = temp / 1000
return str(temp) + ‘ ºC'
change to:
def get_temperature(self):
temp = int(self.collect_data(self.temp))
temp = temp / 1000
temp = ((temp * 9) / 5) + 32
return str(temp) + ‘ ºF'
Save, logout and login.
After changing this you need to disable your jupiter PPA otherwise when you update next time this will overwrite this change
I have this app installed and it is great…apart from 1 thing. If you have set video displays to external on your laptop…and you take away your laptop without remembering to change the video setting to show both external and internal, then when you log on you end up with a blank screen and no way (that I have found yet) of getting your screen to display.
Installing this screwed up my sudoers file.
I kept getting these awful errors, and couldn’t use sudo. I had to reboot into recovery mode to fix it.
It had appended a line that starts with %jupiter ALL=NOPASSWD: …
But instead of creating a new line at the end of the file, it put it at the end of the last line.
It should have checked to make sure that it was on a new line before appending to the file. I was seriously confused about what was going on for a while. MAJOR bug!
I installed Jupiter in my notebook and netbook. It was OK with the notebook Dell XPS. However, my netbook Asus eeePC 1201T became veeeeery slow (e.g., more than 5 minutes to finish the boot AFTER typing the login password — and it was really slow in all the programs I worked, like browsers and LibreOffice). I tried to uninstall the package jupiter-support-eee but the problem remained. So, I uninstalled jupiter and everything became OK again.
nice program.
it solved my problems on an ASUS X54C-BBK3.
Thank you very much problem resolved 100% on my AMD PhenomII 965

Hi, u can download the deb package from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jupiter/files/jupiter_0.0.50.2_all.deb/download
then, via root user, type in terminal:
dpkg -i jupiter_0.0.50.2_all.deb
and you are done.
However, i still havent figured out for it to start automatically on startup.
