Please provide a package for:

• xfce4-sensors-plugin
  http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel- ... ors-plugin
  xfce4 panel plug-in to display output from lm_sensors in the xfce panel
  ver. 0.10.99.6 (for xfce 4.6 series included in SalixOS ver. 13.37), 64-bit

Thank you. The package was present in earlier SalixOS version however
is missing in 13.37...

You can install it with sourcery/slapt-src.

libsensors doesn't put the temp and fan data into /proc/acpi anymore.
data is now at /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1

xfce4-sensors-plugin and xfce4-sensors are effectively blind.

Thank you for the reply.
I could already read the relevant temps with sensors and hddtepm in console.
The asus_atk0110 and k10temp drivers are automatically loaded by Salix init without any intervention on my side as shown by lsmod.

What doesn't work is xfce4-sensors-plugin and xfce4-sensors.

/usr/doc/xfce4-sensors-plugin-1.2.5/TODO file says (among other things):
"
- switch to sysfs completely for everything?
"

Well, it woulld be good if they do.
There is no init script for hddtemp, but even when I start xfce4-sensors-plugin and xfce4-sensors don't see the temp data. Data is ready at /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1, but xfce plugin and app look at empty /proc/acpi.

You have probably already figured this out, as it has been almost a year since your post.
You need to recompile (reinstall with sourcery) xfce4-sensors-plugin after installing and configuring hddtemp.
Then "Hard disks" will show up in the Sensors type: selection field.

Thank you!

I managed in the meantime with conky and a script parsing sensors output. Now both plugin and Xfce-sensors work and even take disk temps from S.M.A.R.T.

Thanks again!
