I'm using Gentoo for a while now an thought I should give back a bit ;-) If you start ksensors it would crash immediately, you can start it with the --nodock option, but this is a poor workaround. This problem was anoying me quite a long time, but I found a solution out there in the internet and modified the ebuild with this knowledge. All you have to do is put the patch in the ksensors/files dir and the ebuild to ksensors. It's my first ebuild, I hope I made it somewhat right ;-) (I posted this ebuild a week ago, but somehow the bug-report disappeared, including my account at bugs.gentoo.org...strange) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 18263 [details, diff] Patch to fix startup crash
Created attachment 18264 [details] Modified ebuild
Yeah, we lost some bug reports due to a some hardware problems. Anyway, I committed this to portage (slightly modified your ebuild). Thanks!
