From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050909 Fedora/1.0.6-1.2.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: I ran yum update today and got gnome-applet-sensors-1.4-1.fc4 (as well as kernel-2.6.12-1.1456). After rebooting with the new kernel, the sensors applet crashed during startup. It caused gnome panel to crash too. I've tried re-starting the sensors applet a few times but it crashed each time. I have had to delete it from my panel in order to allow the panel to function. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applet-sensors-1.4-1.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a desktop session. 2. Wait for bug buddy to inform me that the sensors applet has crashed. Actual Results: Sensors applet crashed. Expected Results: Sensors applet should start & work. Additional info: Will attach stack trace of crash, which shows an assert failure in sensors_applet_gconf_paths_valid.
Created attachment 119183 [details] Stack trace of crash, captured by bug buddy.
1.4 and kernel 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 works for me. I'll take a look at this. Could you give me your /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors ?
Created attachment 119222 [details] /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors I have reverted to gnome-applet-sensors-1.0-1.fc4 which is working fine.
Quoting Alex Murray, sensors-applet author: "The upgrade from 1.0 to 1.4 is not directly compatible, so you will need to first remove the applet from the panel, then install the new version and re-add it to the panel." It worked for me without this step (I think - perhaps I wasn't logged in when it updated), but that's what he says. Does it work if you upgrade in this manner?
Yes, removing, updating & re-adding fixed it. Thanks!
