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 The Linux kernel is changing where hardware monitoring data appears under /sys and I have a patch for the next release that will let gkrellm see the new location. If you are seeing readings under /sys/class/hwmon then that's what you would need. I want to look over some things but then I can put up a test gkrellm tarball for you to try by the end of the weekend if you want to try it? The patch also changes gkrellm to use libsensors for sensor readings when libsensors is installed, so the situation would be this: If you have libsensors installed and a /etc/sensors.conf then gkrellm will use libsensors. Otherwise gkrellm will get sensor readings from /sys/bus/i2c/devices as before and additionally from /sys/class/hwmon. But if libsensors isn't updated to know about uGuru yet, then you would need to make sure gkrellm will use /sys and not libsensors by not having an /etc/sensors.conf. If you need /etc/sensors.conf for another program though, then let me know so I can look at adding a way to direct the new gkrellm to use /sys even when it detects it can use libsensors. A current side effect of this is that when people start using a gkrellm that switches to using libsensors, the gkrellm sensors config will get reset and enables and alarms will need to be reconfigured. I'll look at it some more, but don't know if I will be able to come up with a way to prevent that.
