+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #772431 +++ Description of problem: Please update libXNVCtrl to 295.09, the 169.12 version in Fedora is very old and current gnome-applet-sensors is also looking for a newer version than our Fedora is currently shipping. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libXNVCtrl-169.12-5.fc15 How reproducible: Everytime, see above and below Actual results: libXNVCtrl-169.12-5 Expected results: libXNVCtrl-295.09-1 (or better) Additional info: Looks like upstream switched from imake to standard Makefiles. I don't think the ABI is compatible, so maybe a soname bump is required? --- Additional comment from Robert Scheck on 2012-01-22 08:22:51 CST --- Adam, ping? Can you please reply to this report somehow? Thank you. --- Additional comment from Alex Butcher on 2012-06-09 14:13:28 CDT --- Alex Murray's indicator-sensors for GNOME 3 also needs a newer version of libXNVCtrl for its nVidia sensor plugin to work. --- Additional comment from Alex Murray on 2012-07-17 06:33:20 CDT --- Yeah it would be great to see an updated version as there is no way to check the library's version at compile time and hence even say #ifdef out the code which requires the newer version to allow it to compile against the old version currently in Fedora - and as a recent convert to Fedora from Ubuntu I'd love to get indicator-sensors packaged for Fedora but this currently blocks that... --- Additional comment from Fedora End Of Life on 2013-01-16 04:00:44 CST --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Created attachment 742925 [details] updated specfile
Created attachment 742926 [details] makefile patch The old imakefile patch is obsolete
I have attached a new specfile and makefile patch to build agains the 319.17 version from upstream. I bumped the soname. Someone should probably check my work, but the resulting package worked for me.
ping. We have many packages depends on this, please response ASAP. BTW I've reuqested commit to this package, if you don't have time, let me do this.

Given that I treat this as still valid, I am re-assigning from Fedora 19 to 21
This bug has been open since Fedora 15, and in NEEDINFO for a year. It's a fairly simple fix.

To query the nvidia sensors, there is an api named nvml (bindings exists in python and C, nvml.h) Using X to query the nvidia driver seems wrong to me except if you want to retrieve the actual screen resolution ;)
There is not in Fedora, that I can find, any API named nvml. The only nvml.h file comes from hwloc-devel and it is an interface to the hwloc routines that call the libXNVCtrl library routines. --Guy
