Description Marc Perrudin 2014-01-30 12:09:21 UTC

When lm_sensors is launched by systemd, the blacklist command (-b) is used.

I use blacklisting of the modules used by lm_sensors to prevent them to be automatically loaded at boot time (because they are loaded in an unpredictable order).

Is this option needed as the modules listed in /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors are set manually or is there an other way to load the modules in a specific order (for fancontrol).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start lm_sensors with systemd
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
blacklisted modules are not loaded

Expected Results:  
all listed modules in /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors are loaded

Sorry, here's something weird: On systemd lm_sensors shouldn't use /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors.

Well, your bug report was from 2014 and I can't say for sure that systemd had its modules-load already but...


Anyway: Please re-test with =sys-apps/lm_sensors-3.4.0_p20160725 which now uses modules-load service. I am not sure what you were doing but with current version we shift modules loading to modules-load service so the reported problem is now at least obsolete...
