Description:
Since the last update of extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin to version 1.0.0-1, it doesn't show hddtemp data. It's definitely a problem of this version, because the version from AUR, aur/xfce4-sensors-plugin-git 20100202-1 works without problems and shows the "Hard disk" entry in dropdown menu. For further information read the last two posts in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=750604 Additional info: * package version(s) xfce4-sensors-plugin 1.0.0-1 Steps to reproduce: Install xfce4-sensors-plugin 1.0.0-1 and add it to your xfce4-panel. Right click on it in panel, select "Properties" and click on "Sensors type". |
This task depends upon
Is the AUR package built in a different way? You can also start the plugin from a shell and watch fur useful messages.
One reboot later, the hddtemp temperature is vanished from the panel. Very strange!
have you setup /etc/conf.d/hddtemp and is its daemon is running?
Yes, /etc/rc.d/hddtemp is running. /etc/rc.d/sensors is running too.
$ cat /etc/conf.d/hddtemp
PARAMS="-q -l 127.0.0.1"
DRIVES="/dev/sda"
Exactly this configuration worked without problems until the last update of xfce4-sensors-plugin on March, 29.
Please check the plugin upstream code repository or ask the upstream developer. I can't confirm this. Works for me. Sometimes gtk themes cause trouble or maybe something completely different.
If you had read the link above to my two posts in the forums, you would know this.
I have just found it accidentally as I executed pacman -Qdt and there was a bunch of software which wasn't required by any program. I uninstalled them all and in this moment the shown HDD temperature in the xfce panel switched to 0.0 C. So I re-installed all software again and uninstalled them one by one to get the one, which lets the HDD temperature go to zero. It was netcat.
Please correct this ASAP and insert netcat as dependency!
