[sorry for the late response - had mail problems] I see your point about the high CPU load... but couldn't this be checked when the user opens the settings dialog, or switches between the tabs on the settings dialog. That would make this possible: - user installs hddtemp (because he read somewhere "install hddtemp and you see when our disk gets too hot") - user opens sensor config dialog - sensor-applet quickly checks for hddtemp etc. - hddtemp sensor is displayed
And even if user has the dialog already open when he installs hddtemp, he just has to "fiddle" with the dialog (i.e. switch tabs) and presto! he sees the new sensor. Of course even better would be if hddtemp would somehow notify the sensors-applet that it has been started :-) not sure if this is possible (maybe hddtemp could drop a lock file somewhere, and the applet monitors the lock file location with inotify?) I realize that this is probably much work (and "bloat") for a very small detail, but it's these subtle details that show the user jow much effort has been put into the system. -- sensors-applet doesn't recognize newly installed hddtemp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105291 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
