I installed sensors-applet to get temp displays, but the applet just
said "No sensors found". It also offered no advice on finding
sensors.
Once I installed lm-sensors and manually did sensor detection, I got
some results. However, labels are still useless.
When you say 'manually did sensor detection', do you mean that you ran
sensors-detect, and loaded the kernel modules that it suggested you
load?
Right.
I'm not sure how to fix this other than to note that sensor modules must
be loaded in the package's README.Debian file. To fix this bug properly
would require the lm-sensors project to work out some way of integrating
their sensors-detect script with the kernel uevent/hotplugging system.
Sounds reasonable to me.
Another thing that could be done is to have the sensor applet
display a message when there are no sensors found that points
them to lm-sensors to configure things. Also, if libsensors doesn't
automatically inform sensor-applet that the available sensors have
been updated, a refresh button (and matching docs) would work.
