Simply put: Ksysguard doesn't support lm_sensors with KDE 3.5.9. There's a patch here: http://lists-archives.org/kde-devel/15569-ksysguard-to-support-lmsensor-3-x-in-kde-3-5-9.html I haven't tried it. Reproducible: Always
KDE 3.5.9 already has this patch as you can see here: http://websvn.kde.org/tags/KDE/3.5.9/kdebase/ksysguard/ksysguardd/Linux/lmsensors.c?view=log As sys-apps/lm_sensors-3* isn't in the tree I can't test it, so closing...
Niels, you may wish to reopen this, as I'm having the issue with lm_sensors-2.10.4 (which is in the tree). ksysguard-3.5.8 works (I use FEATURES=buildpkg so could just emerge --nodeps =old.version). ksysguard-3.5.9 just shows the little broken icon in the upper-left corner and won't graph any of my temps on the kicker applet, and when I start the main ksysguard app, it doesn't show any of the lm_sensors choices at all! KDE team, looking at that log, that patch was the one and only patch between .8 and .9. I'd say it might have fixed lm_sensors-3, but it appears to have broken lm_sensors 2.x. Maybe a conditional revert? I hope to test a revert later and confirm, but I've been up all night testing and filing bugs on OpenRC and the kernel, so it'll have to wait, for now.
FWIW, there's an lm_sensors-3.0.1 ebuild (and related files) on bug #198030. I tried it with ksysguard-3.5.9 and while ksysguard would build (3.5.8 won't even build against lm_sensors-3.0.1) and merge, the resulting ksysguard was still broken re lm_sensors (BOTH 3.x and 2.x). And I didn't bother testing reverting the patch as I had mentioned. I just fell back to ksysguard-3.5.8, first using the previous binary package and --nodeps as mentioned above, then overlaying it and fixing the deps so it didn't require kdelibs-3.5.8. FWIW, it's a one-line change. ksysguard-3.5.8.ebuild pseudo-diff: KMNAME=kdebase -MAXKDEVER=$PV +MAXKDEVER=3.5.9 KM_DEPRANGE="$PV $MAXKDEVER" inherit kde-meta eutils After that and a remanifest, it remerged just fine against kdelibs-3.5.9. A quick addition to package.mask then took care of portage's desire to upgrade to the b0rken ksysguard-3.5.9. =8^)
I have the same issue with ksysguard-3.5.9. To work round the issue I have I followed Ducan's to revert to ksysguard-3.5.8.
