Dear Community
I installed Ubunut Mate on my Pi i love that distru it works really fine,
i overclocked that thing.
So here is my question i would like to see the temprature in my bar,
when i add the little widget it tells me sensors not found so the sensor isnt added to this, but when i use the cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp command the sensor tells me the temp.
so dear community how can i add the sensor to my littlele applet/widget.

I also had the same question. This must not be that hard. 
You could add the Command applet to the panel to execute the command for retrieving the value of the temperature.
After you right-click the applet and enter the properties, you can set the command and the interval (I suggest 10, 30 or 60 to avoid overloading it)
cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
It’ll then display the temperature as the output of that command. Not as pretty as the Sensors applet with the icon, but it should work. 
Thank you. It worked.
Is there a way to divide by 1000?
It’s a bit tricky piping the output to perform maths, but you can create a script instead… plus add the °C or °F symbol.
#!/bin/bash
Temp=$(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp)
echo $(( $Temp/ 1000))"°C"
Simply copy and paste this into a new text document, save it as something.sh, mark it as executable (Right Click → Permissions tab) and then update the Command applet to point to your script, eg: /home/pi/temperature.sh
It can be done easier within a single command line like:
awk '{printf "%3.1f°C\n", $1/1000}' /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
This will display the right temperature value divided by 1000. If you do not need the unit, just the value itself, simpy omit the “°C” in the “printf” statement 
Alternatively, use the following command:
vcgencmd measure_temp
This will display the command output in the following format:
temp=25.6'C
Hope this helps
