I have kernels 2.6.9-gentoo-r1 & 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 installed. When I change the one I boot, the Gkrellm2 sensor display disappears: it is not one or other kernel version, but changing from one to another. I can restore the display via the Gkrellm2 config menus without problem. This happened when I was relying on the built-in sensor controls & after I emerged & configured Lm_sensors (which works correctly from CLI). This looks like a bug inside Gkrellm2 or its interface with the sensors. I am using Gkrellm-2.2.5 running in KDE 3.4.1 with Udev. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot a different kernel version 2. start Gkrellm2 & notice sensor display is missing 3. restore display via Gkrellm2 config menus 4. boot a different kernel version & repeat AD NAVSEAM Actual Results: The sensor display in Gkrellm2 is not visible. Expected Results: The sensor display should remain visible after booting a different kernel. See above for version numbers of packages.
the sensors modules are mergen into /lib/modules/foo or into /lib/modules/kernel_version/foo?
merged even ;)
/lib/modules/kernel_version/foo
Please, try w/ 2.2.9-r1 and report back.
I tried it with the only other kernel I have available 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 & the same bug occurs, ie no sensor lines in the display; however, when I return to my usual kernel 2.6.14-gentoo , the display is there. I did not try restoring it to 2.6.12 using the Gkrellm config manager, so I didn't do a complete test of all steps. I am using Gkrellm 2.2.9-r1 & KDE 3.5.4 . I am just about to catch up with modular X , after which I shall also compile the latest kernel, presumably 2.6.17-something. After that, I will try testing again a bit more thoro'ly.
I've installed kernel 2.6.18 & the sensor display still appears as usual, so the problem seems to have been fixed somewhere since 2.6.12 or in the latest Gkrellm 2.2.9-r1 .
