Windows Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.5011]

WSL Version

WSL version: 2.3.24.0

Are you using WSL 1 or WSL 2?

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Kernel Version

Linux version 5.15.153.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 (root@941d701f84f1) (gcc (GCC) 11.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.37) #1 SMP Fri Mar 29 23:14:13 UTC 2024

Distro Version

Release: 22.04

Other Software

lm-sensors
sensors
sensors-detect

Repro Steps

sudo apt install lm-sensors
sensors
sensors-detect

Expected Behavior

sensors should return a listing containing sensors available to the kernel and their current value
sensors-detect should probe for embedded sensors and tell you what is available

Actual Behavior

BASH:Phydeaux:ROOT:5:/mnt/c/ReallyTempEmptyEveryDay> sensors
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
BASH:Phydeaux:ROOT:6:/mnt/c/ReallyTempEmptyEveryDay> sensors-detect
# sensors-detect version 3.6.0
# Kernel: 5.15.153.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64
# Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Eight-Core Processor (23/8/2)

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):
modprobe: FATAL: Module cpuid not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.153.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
/dev/port: No such file or directory

Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no):
/dev/port: No such file or directory

Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no):
/dev/port: No such file or directory

Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):
Sorry, no supported PCI bus adapters found.
modprobe: FATAL: Module i2c-dev not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.153.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2
Failed to load module i2c-dev.

Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your system has no sensors, or they are not supported, or
they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not
supported. If you find out what chips are on your board, check
https://hwmon.wiki.kernel.org/device_support_status for driver status.

This is unfortunately by design, sensors aren't available within WSL2. Keeping this open as a feature request
