Description udo 2013-07-15 13:22:51 UTC

Description of problem:
/var/.og/messages is spammed every few seconds with the message from the summary.
My kernel has 
  <*>   Thermal Zone    (CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL)
but indeed /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp does not exist. Please fix the spamming.
Is it perhaps that system-monitor trying to read the temperatures?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-3.8.3-2.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
Boot into Fedora 19 using kernel.org 3.9.9.
Check /var/log/messages after a while

Actual results:
See above

Expected results:
No such messages.

Yes, setting that Sensor makes the stream of these error messages go away.
