I did a fresh install of DietPi 6.34.3 on a RPi3b and noticed the CPU temp shows “N/A” when I run the cpu command.

Is there something I missed on the install? It was working fine when running v6.33 on the same RPi3b but I had to do a clean reinstall due to a corrupt sdcard. I don’t recall doing anything before on the previous version. It just worked. Now it’s not.
I have the exact same issue. I reinstalled DietPi on my Raspberry Pi 3B and no longer have cpu temp information on the dashboard screen. It says N/A. It was working on version 6.33.3 but fresh install of 6.34.3 does not work.
Here’s my kernel information.
Linux gretapi 5.10.5-v8+ #1392 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jan 9 18:56:30 GMT 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux
Also tried a fresh install with version 6.34.3 on my Raspberry Pi 4 and the temp info works without issue.
It’s most probably related to Raspberry OS 64bit Beta. I guess the Foundation changed something and our script did detect it correctly now. That’s why it’s still in Beta as the Foundation could change things on the way
Ok, interesting. Well, we were warned that not all things work on 64 bit yet. I didn’t expect cpu temp to break going from previous version to the latest.
Also, why are beta kernels used for the base install? Has this always been the case?
This has nothing to do with DietPi, this is fully related to Raspberry OS 64bit Beta. The image contains the Beta flag still, because RPi OS 64bit has not been released as stable by the Foundation.
Indeed a bug of the Raspberry OS 64bit BETA in combination with BETA kernel 5.10.5 and RPi3
Looks like Foundation is now shipping 5.10 kernel version on RPi OS 64bit.
Means you are running BETA OS + BETA Kernel and it seems on RPi3 it is not working to detect temperature.
Usually, CPU temp is written to a file and can be simple read cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp. On RPi3 the file is not readable and you will get Invalid argument while on RPi4 this is working well. I switched SD card between RP3 and 4 back and force. Always on RP3 it was not working, even if it has been working a minute before running RPi4
btw vcgencmd measure_temp is giving GPU temp and not CPU temp
EDIT
I verified it running plain Raspberry OS 64bit BETA. There the kernel was switched to 5.10 LTS Beta as well
right after download and install
Linux raspberrypi 5.4.51-v8+ #1333 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 10 16:58:35 BST 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux
after apt upgrade
Linux raspberrypi 5.10.5-v8+ #1392 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jan 9 18:56:30 GMT 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux
The plain RPi OS is having same issue on RPi3. Definitely not related to DietPi
Hey guys, OOT, but I see you make use of the in-line code BBcode [icode] already, which I added yesterday. Does it look okay like that, or shall I change it’s appearance a bit?
