Description of problem: "Add-to-panel -> Hardware-sensors-monitor -> Add" crashes immediately at startup on X86_64 This worked OK until about a month ago. The same lm_sensors version works OK in FC5 on similar hardware. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lm_sensors-2.9.2-1 kernel-2.6.16-1.2182_FC6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add-to-panel -> Hardware-sensors-monitor -> Add 2. 3. Actual results: The Application "sensors-applet" has quit unexpectedly. You can inform the developers of what happened to help them fix it. Or you can restart the application right now. Expected results: I'd really like to monitor my cpu temp..... Additional info:
That sounds more like a GUI applet problem though... Do you know which actual application gets added to the panel when you try this? Read ya, Phil
Its hard to tell, isn't it. I think its /usr/libexec/sensors-applet but a little more visibility into what the menu does would be nice! I've no idea how to find out what command line is used. I tried running /usr/libexec/sensors-applet with no args but it just sits there for abou 30sec (on a poll() according to strace) and then exits.
/usr/libexec/sensors-applet is from: gnome-applet-sensors-1.6-3.fc5.x86_64.rpm
Hi, Short introduction, I'm a Fedora contributer and since I'm involved in lm_sensors upstream, I've also become a co-maintainer of lm_sensors in Fedora. I concure with Phil that this is a gnome-sensors-applet bug, not a lm_sensors bug. I've seen the same behaviour with gnome-sensors-applet on my system. gnome-sensors-applet used to be maintained by Aaron Kurtz, who unfortunately no longer is a Fedora Contributer, which has caused the version of gnome-applet-sensors in Fedora to become somewhat stale. As of today I've taken over gnome-sensors-applet from him. As said I had the same problem and for my updating to the latest upstream version of gnome-applet-sensors has fixed this. I've build a new Fedora package of this version: gnome-applet-sensors-1.8.1-1.fc7 This package should become available in the updates-testing repository soon, when its gets pushed there the update system will add a comment to this bug that it has become available. To use / test it once available there do: yum update gnome-applet-sensors --enablerepo=updates-testing
gnome-applet-sensors-1.8.1-1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
