Problems still persist in xfce4-sensors-plugin (version 1.2.5-1+b1) in Wheezy, maybe showing up in a different way.
For some reason package 'hddtemp' is installed automatically, despite I do not need it. My PC does not have any rotational HD, just an Intel 520series SSD which does not contain any temperature sensor (at least those S.M.A.R.T. attributes are missing). In this situation at every login to XFCE desktop I got a warning like this (in German): WARNUNG: Laufwerk /dev/sda scheint keinen Temperatur-Sensor zu haben. WARNUNG: Das bedeutet nicht, dass es keinen besitzt. WARNUNG: Falls Sie sicher sind, dass es einen besitzt, kontaktieren Sie mich bitte (hddt...@guzu.net). WARNUNG: Siehe Optionen --help, --debug und --drivebase. /dev/sda: INTEL SSDSC2CW120A3: kein Sensor To get rid of this I edited /etc/default/hddtemp and set: DISKS_NOPROBE="/dev/sda" That did not help either as well as un-installing 'hddtemp'. Without hddtemp installed sensors-plugin complaions about hddtemp missing. Then I did edit the user configuration of the sensors-plugin in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-sensors-plugin-36.rc and set: Suppress_Hddtemp_Message=false -> true This as well did not help. I finally recognized that this user configuration file gets overwritten at any login and the option is reset to "false"! A current workaround I found meanwhile: make sure you are not logged in to any XFCE session (i.e. switch to a console at light-dm) and edit your ~/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-sensors-plugin-36.rc. this at least suppresses the popup's at every login, but does not solve the problem that sensors-plugin does insist on checking for a non existent HDD-temperature using hddtemp. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
