Bug 175363 (RalphusMaximus) – lm-Sensors and sonsord failure

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Truett Hunter 2007-04-20 15:58:32 UTC]

sensord had a configration problem Please see addtional information block.

Reproducible: Always




Motherboard: Intel D975BX2.
I install lm_sensors, all is ok. It finds the sensors, and the output of sensors is normal. I try to start sensord (lm_sensors emerged with sensord use flag), and it wont start. I look at the log, it says, "Error getting sensor data: lm85/in5: Can't access procfs/sysfs file". Ok, I put "ignore in5" in the sensors.conf file.

I start sensord. log says, "Error getting sensor data: lm85/in6: Can't access procfs/sysfs file" I put "ignore in6" in the sensors.conf file.

I start sensord. log says, "Error getting sensor data: lm85/in7: Can't access procfs/sysfs file" I put "ignore in7" in the sensors.conf file.

I start sensord. log says, "Error getting sensor data: lm85/fan1_tach_mode: Can't access procfs/sysfs file" I put "ignore fan1" in the sensors.conf file.

I start sensord. log says, "Error getting sensor data: lm85/zone1_limit: Can't access procfs/sysfs file" I put "ignore zone1" in the sensors.conf file.

I start sensord. log says, "Error getting sensor data: lm85/zone1_limit: Can't access procfs/sysfs file" What? ignore zone1 doesn't work. I put "ignore zone1_limit" in the sensors.conf file.

I start sensord. the log says, "Error getting sensor data: lm85/zone1_hyst: Can't access procfs/sysfs file"

So how long do I have to do this drill? Can't we have sensord do something like "I can't find item1, item2, item3, etc, skipping these items. If you thik this is wrong then..."

As it stands now, sensord is useless. If I could code, I'd fix it, but my coding skills are abysmal.

Thanks,
RM

Same problem when having CONFIG_SYSFS=y in your kernel config? Which lm_sensors ebuild do you have installed? Provide `emerge --info`, please.

I do have CONFIG_SYSFS=y in my kernel config, I'll look at that bug now.

Sorry, forgot this in last note.

can you please report this upstream and report back if you found a way to fix it?

Ticket #2210 opened a month ago. No response so far.
