How can I see a read out of my CPU or in general how much my laptop is overheating? I tried this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvO35KYi4_U) where all the temperature info is shown when you type "sensors", but I'm not getting anything - enter image description here

I have Ubuntu 14.04 and I don't know anything about it so what can be the problem? I also noticed I can't run new programs like Blender (donloaded as as ZIP so it doesn't require instalation). How can I check if I have a limited version of the OS because I believe it shouldn't work like this. Here's the program folder - enter image description here

I'm just plain confused, please help!

    1. The error message in your first screenshot tells you exactly what to do: Install *lm-sensors*. 2. Blender is available at the official repositories and it can and should be installed that way. –  Oct 04 '16 at 13:02

    There is no limited version of Ubuntu, it is free. If you just read the output in your first screen shot it says run `sudo apt-get install lm-sensors`. – Mark Kirby Oct 04 '16 at 13:03
  • @Mark Kirby Thanks :). The video didn't show I need a new program (perhaps in the description). I still don't know about programs like Blender, but thet should be another post I guess. I think you mean it should be preinstalled, but I need the latest version – Vladimir Oct 04 '16 at 13:28
  • Just install blender with `sudo apt-get install blender` if you do it any other way, you will need to fix things like dependencies and it is not worth the effort. – Mark Kirby Oct 04 '16 at 13:29
  • @Mark Kirby Yeah, I heard ubuntu programs should be installed through the Terminal, I'm learning programming at the moment. Thanks – Vladimir Oct 04 '16 at 13:34
  • If you are not to comfortable with terminal, `ubuntu-software` is a GUI for it and is pre installed. – Mark Kirby Oct 04 '16 at 13:35
  • @Vladimir sing commands in terminal isn't "programming". –  Oct 04 '16 at 15:21
  • @CelticWarrior Yeah, I know, but it's kinda sinonymous 'cause you type in a code to get things done (just to mention I deleted the last comment if it still shows on your screen) – Vladimir Oct 04 '16 at 19:26

You don't have installed sensors utility. You can install it by 

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

as stated on first screenshot.

As for Blender, it is in the repository’s, just run

sudo apt-get install blender
