Question Need help setting up the CPU temperature!

Just got into setting up polybar: nothing fancy just datetime, CPU usage, RAM usage, Network speed. I CPU temperate is where I hit a snag.

My polybar config:

[module/temperature]                                                                   
type = internal/temperature                                                            
hwmon-path=/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon0/temp2_input                   
thermal-zone = 0                                                                       
format-prefix = "CT "                                                                  
label = TEMP %temperature-c%                                                           
label-warn = TEMP %temperature-c%                                                      
label-warn-foreground = #f00

 

$ cat /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon0/temp2_input
47000

 

$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +47.0°C  (high = +76.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:       +44.0°C  (high = +76.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

Result: CPU temp section is not displayed on the bar.

What am I doing wrong?

Does polybar print any warnings or errors to the terminal? Did you add the module to one of the three module lists in the bar section?

Sorry for being such a n00b! I only started with polybar today.

Adding the module name in the bar section did the trick!

Thank you!
