When I run Gkrellm under Ubuntu 8.04, I can't get it to display my HDD
(sdb) temperature.  (sdb temperature displays correctly with the Gnome
sensors applet). Gkrellm displays sdb activity but the area where the
temperature display should appear is blank.

Gkrellm under Ubuntu is supposed to pick up HDD temp when hddtemp is run
as a daemon.

I have hddtemp configured (/etc/default/hddtemp) to run as a daemon, to
monitor sdb, to use interface 127.0.0.1, and to listen on port 7634.
(gkrellm uses port 7634).

I believe the following test shows that hddtemp is configured correctly:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nc localhost 7634 ; echo
|/dev/sdb|ST3100011A|35|C|

When I run Gkrellm under Fedora 9 on the same multiboot PC, sdb
temperature displays correctly. (Gkrellm under Fedora uses a plugin:
gkrellm-hddtemp for hdd temperature. Apparently,Gkrellm under Ubuntu
does not use a plugin for hdd temperature.)
