Re: Issues with gkrellm-uguru and gkrellm-hddtemp

Tobias,

Thanks for the response. However, I'm not entirely clear on what you're
saying. I have Hans' code installed (which I hadn't done yet when you
responded) and get see the readings from the M/B in the files he creates in
the "/sys" filesystem. Unfortunately sensors can't yet read that data. Are
you implying that your plug-in is dependent on lm_senors?

Regards,
Steven
