I can confirm that upgrading to Kubuntu 9.04 broke hddtemp (only able to run as root). And I did NOT have the sticky bit set before the upgrade (but it was working fine before the upgrade):
foo...@kubuntu64:/usr/sbin$ ll hdd* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31928 2008-11-06 08:56 hddtemp Setting the sticky bit as suggested did fix the issue and I'm able to get hddtemp as a non-root user: foo...@kubuntu64:/usr/sbin$ sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp foo...@kubuntu64:/usr/sbin$ ll hdd* -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 31928 2008-11-06 08:56 hddtemp foo...@kubuntu64:/usr/sbin$ hddtemp /dev/sda | cut -f3 -d: 37°C I don't really think setting the sticky bit is the solution but whatever works! -- Cannot get hard drive temperature as non root user with hddtemp in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228306 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 -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
