10 years ago If you want an implementation of this feature you need to provide sample output for those commands with a C locale set up. However I would only implement the display of hardware sensor related data.
However, there is this fork of the extension:
https://github.com/skamansam/gnome-shell-extension-nvsettings
Maybe it fits you better.

10 years ago No it's also not being actively developed, and I'm not after the extra functionality that fork is or was trying to provide, as it's not really a requirement in linux...
All I'm after is the fan speed and temp only. It would be nice to be able to set the temp to the NVidia card when required and also be able to keep an eye on the fan speed from time to time...
The commands won't change (for the foreseeable future), so it should be reasonably straight forward to implement and maintain.
How do I set a C locale so I can provide the exact command and output for each one? And would it be easier for you to just have a number supplied and you format the number with the Nvidia Name and Celsius or degree symbols, or is it easier to just get the output with that formatting already in place?

Call the application with the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables set to C like
$ LANG=C LC_ALL=C application --param1=foo --bar=2
And would it be easier for you to just have a number supplied and you format the number with the Nvidia Name and Celsius or degree symbols, or is it easier to just get the output with that formatting already in place?
I would prefer to have one application call to gather all sensor informations (temperature with a sensor label, fan speed with a label, gpu/memory voltage with a label, …) provided by the tool if this is possible. So a simple 'LANG=C LC_ALL=C nvidia-smi -q' should be sufficient.

However there are a lot of N\A's, but I know that information is normally available (in windows at least), I might see if there is an upgrade available for my drivers to see if that helps at all....

Hi,
Is there any way you can incorporate nvidiatemp@bacox extension into this extension? It appears to no longer in development.
For some reason lm_sensors (latest version) isn't showing the temp on the NVidia card...
The commands to list temp etc:
To output info with temp: 'nvidia-smi -q -d temperature'
To just output a number: 'nvidia-smi --query-gpu=temperature.gpu --format=csv,noheader'
But it can also be used to query the product name, fan speed, etc
