Bug 185889 – app-admin/conky no longer displays sensors information w/ kernel-2.6.22

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Karel De Vriendt 2007-07-19 18:25:56 UTC]

The i2c entries for the sensor chip seem to be moved from /sys/bus/i2c/devices/9191-0290 to /sys/bus/platform/devices/w83627hf.656 .I can't change the entry in the conkyrc because it only looks at devices in /sys/bus/i2c/devices and doesn't allow you to specify an alternative directory.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have conky showing fanspeed, cpu temp and mobo temp under an earlier kernel
2. Upgrade to 2.6.22
3.

Conky should be patched to try both paths at runtime.

I will fix this over the weekend...I am going to try to catch up and hopefully do a release too.

That would be great, I'll be starting the 2.6.22 stable push in the next few days.

This is now fixed in conky's svn.  Expect a new conky release soon.
