Hardware-monitor provides a panel applet that illustrates different hardware measurements. On the "Preferences" page, 2nd tab, "Viewer", I can select different options, e.g. Curves, Horizontal Bars, Flames... When I log in to GNOME again, the setting is always on "Curves". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change the setting in the preferences to "Flames" 2. Log out and log in again Actual Results: The hardware monitor applet uses the visualisation style "Curves". Expected Results: It should show visualisation style "Flames" as before the log out. emerge --info Portage 2.1.9.24 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.11.2-r3,

are you using gnome 2.30 or 2.32 ? Could you attach ~/.xsession-errors after logging out ? (do not re-login as that would rewrite the file)
File contents of ~/.xsession-errors (I changed the preferences to "Flames" setting, logged out, then copied the file to /tmp from a console login.) By the way, in order to be more helpful, I went through the .xsession-errors file that is on my system now (while in a session where I have not attempted to set the "Flames" mode) and most of the error messages are also there now. So I think most of the below messages are unrelated to the behaviour I'm seeing. The ones that were only in the file that I copied to /tmp (which was after setting the Visualisation setting and then logging out), these lines I have marked in the below with the mark +++ . /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... which: no keychain in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.4.4:/usr/games/bin) /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- gnome-session GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-JbX5vH GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-JbX5vH GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-JbX5vH SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-JbX5vH/ssh (gnome-settings-daemon:7052): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_notify: object class `GkbdStatus' has no property named `name' Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /home/ca/.config/metacity/sessions/10af5564a98a749c73129233932924084900000069750019.ms: Failed to open file '/home/ca/.config/metacity/sessions/10af5564a98a749c73129233932924084900000069750019.ms': No such file or directory (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:7104): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `_PolkitError' (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:7104): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed Failed to play sound: File or data not found (gnome-panel:7074): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-x11.c:952 drawable is not a pixmap or window Initializing nautilus-gdu extension ** Message: Initializing gksu extension... +++ gnome-session[6975]: WARNING: Invalid borders specified for theme pixmap: +++ /home/ca/.themes/Cillop-Midnite/gtk-2.0/null.png, +++ borders don't fit within the image +++ Shutting down nautilus-gdu extension
I am using GNOME 2.30.2 (according to "System Information").
actually this is maintainer-needed.
I have found a solution to this problem but it is not ideal. After you set up your monitors you must recompile hardware-monitor again without the "create-viewer-type-key.patch" patch. You must compile it WITH the patch first or your monitors will not load but after they are loaded you can recompile without the patch and then your settings should persist.
Doesn't this one have any replacement? The package is completely dead :/
I think we should simply remove this
What does occur if you edit the patch from: + gconf_client->set(gconf_dir + "/viewer_type", "curve"); to: + gconf_client->set(gconf_dir + "/viewer_type", ""); or: + gconf_client->set(gconf_dir + "/viewer_type", 0);
