Description:

Conky-1.7.2-3 doesn't start anymore when hwmon variable is used in .conkyrc config. It's error output complains about hwmon sensors locations.

Error: "Conky: can't open '/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp3_input': No such file or directory
please check your device or remove this var from Conky..."

Seaching through /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/ reveals that temp3_input (and all other sensors) are not there. They are however deeper in the directory at /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/.

Downgrading to previous version conky-1.7.2-1 and conky runs as expected without error.

Affected versions:
conky-1.7.2-2
conky-1.7.2-3

Sensors used:
w83627ehf

Remvoing the patch for kernel .31 from conky's PKGBUILD works here.. I'm also using Kernel 2.6.31.4-1. More info can be found here..

That patch fixed the hwmon path for me, as I have no sensors in device subdirectory. So conky now fails on my machine.

Theres updated patch here, which should work for both cases AFAIK:
