Hello. I just installed EndeavourOS with i3wm a few hours ago and so far it’s working great! But I came across a little problem: I can’t get the temperature icon to show on the bar. I already customized it, changed a lot of stuff but this is the only thing I can’t do. I’ve been messing around with the i3blocks and i3status files for a while and nothing worked for me so far. Can someone help?

Welcome aboard!
Which “temperature” are you referring to?
‘’[CPU-temperature]
label=
command=/home/jo/.config/i3/scripts/temperature
color=#96c6f8
interval=10’’
This. Is on the i3blocks.conf file. I tried to edit it and the i3status.conf to make it show up on the bar but it doesn’t.
Do you have Font Awesome installed?

This was already done for you when you installed EndeavourOS. Restore the defaults?
command=~/home/jo/.config/i3/scripts/temperature
You are missing a ~

Is installed by default did you remove it? Also so all your other desired things in i3bar are working and just not cpu temp?
please return from terminal:
inxi -Fxxxza --no-host
sudo parted -l <—letter l not number 1
Yes, I had it installed by default and didn’t remove it. And yes, everything else I want is working.

Please post the output with three ``` before and after the post or use the </> button. It is really hard to read otherwise.
Anyway if all you need is an icon, copy and paste from here: https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&q=temp
to your config.
it just icon missing? or no temp output

Ok, I will.
No icon and no temp output.
what if you simple run the script in a terminal?
~/.config/i3/scripts/temperature
to see if the issue is with the script itself or some configs…
after your change … did you restart by mod+Shift+R
that script need lm_sensors … right ?
I tried this and it didn’t work. The terminal says:
Cannot find temperature at /home/jo/.config/i3/scripts/temperature line 56.
can you show the script? my one do not have more then 35 line 
(EDIT)
this is not the one used per default…

that new…
you can also try this one:

TEMP_OUTPUT=$(sensors | grep "${TEMP_DEVICE}")
IS_URGENT=0

TOTAL_COUNT=0
while read RESULT_LINE; do
TOTAL_COUNT=$((TOTAL_COUNT +1))
CURRENT_TEMP=$(echo "${RESULT_LINE}" | grep -o -E "[\+\-]?[0-9]*.[0-9]*°C" | sed -n '1p' | tr -d '+°C')
URGENT_VALUE=$(echo "${RESULT_LINE}" | grep -o -E "[\+\-]?[0-9]*.[0-9]*°C" | sed -n '2p' | tr -d '+°C')
TOTAL_TEMP=$(echo "scale=2;${TOTAL_TEMP}+${CURRENT_TEMP}" | bc -l)
IS_CRITICAL=$(echo "scale=0;${CURRENT_TEMP}-${URGENT_VALUE} >= 0" | bc -l)
if [[ "${IS_CRITICAL}" -eq 1 ]]; then
IS_URGENT=1
fi
done <<< "$(echo -e "$TEMP_OUTPUT")"
AVERAGE_TEMP=$(echo "scale=0;${TOTAL_TEMP}/${TOTAL_COUNT}" | bc -l)
if [[ "${TOTAL_COUNT}" -gt 1 ]]; then
AVERAGE_TEMP=" ${AVERAGE_TEMP}"

exit 33
