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
