You did not tell which version of sensors-detect you tried, nor what
kernel you are running, nor what your hardware is. What kind of help
are you expecting?

You should probably not be using sensors-detect in the first place
anyway. i2cdetect (from the i2c-tools package) is a much better tool
for what you are trying to do.

This question makes no sense as "this bus" is clearly undefined at this
point. First check what I2C/SMBus busses are available on your system:

# modprobe i2c-dev
# i2cdetect -l

Then either run i2cdetect / i2cdump on the relevant bus if it was
listed, or try to figure out why it is not listed (looking for it with
lspci maybe, if your SMBus controller is a PCI device.)
