How much time are we talking about here, hours? days? weeks? I must admit I don't pay very close attention to the sensor numbers, but I haven't noticed anything weird even after weeks of uptime. Hours in most cases, but sometimes even minutes. Please try again with 2.3.5 now that it's out. If you're still affected, tracking this down will probably involve some in-depth debugging on your end, since I cannot replicate the problem on any of my systems. I have same problem. Gkrellm stops updating sensors. If I type sensors at the command line, I see fresh values. kernel: 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 gkrellm-2.3.5 lm_sensors-3.2.0 motherboard is an asus m4a77td with AMD/ATI SB700/SB800 chipset. lm_sensors finds the sensors using i2c_piix4 I am hitting the same bug with gkrellm 2.3.5. I have deactivated all deprecated ACPI options in my kernel. Since my laptop has only thermalzones, I am not running lm-sensors. gkrellm-2.3.2-r1 could not read the thermalzone temperatures from sysfs. This is why i updated it. Otherwise I am running stable amd64. When this problem occurs and I want to shut down gkrellm, I have to kill it with kill -9. Otherwise the process is still there. I hit this bug with a wide range of kernel versions. I am git bisecting a kernel bug and so far with all tested kernel versions gkrellm is showing this behavior. If you need further information please let me know. Also let me know what I can do to hunt this bug down (I am not a programmer or a debugging expert. I am still learning.) |
