There is already a check for /device which is eventually stripped out. The problem with the kernel 2.6.31 is that /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device apparently still exists so that check fails. Waiting to find a proper solution upstream that maintains compatibility with older kernels, I made an horrible hack that should work for karmic (hopefully it doesn't break anything else). Can you check it out? The package is available in my ppa:
https://launchpad.net/%7Enorsetto/%2Barchive If you do that please check if it still works for vol too, not just temp, and also if the device is not specified or specified as *. (I can't test myself as my VM stopped working after the latest karmic upgrade). PS. If in the future you open a bug also upstream, can you please link it to the launchpad one? ** Bug watch added: SourceForge.net Tracker #2865628 http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=2865628 ** Also affects: conky via http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=2865628 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Conky looks in the wrong sysfs dir for hwmon temperature info https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
