1 Since about 2 weekly updates ago (which seems to neatly translate to a
2 newly stable 2.3.10-r1 version of gkrellm) sometimes it starts without
3 any of the hardware monitoring sensors displayed. Not always; but since
4 gkrellm despite of all its other virtues is the misguided sort of
5 program that confuse configuration and state, and save the state when
6 exiting, this means once it happens I have to manually configure all the
7 sensors again, with the GUI because I don't know another way. ARGH!

9 _All_ the hw monitoring sensors disappear: temps, fans, and voltages,
10 provided by at least two different hardware interfaces. This makes me
11 doubt that the cause is some change in the kernel or udev or anything on
12 that level - it looks more like a bug in gkrellm itself.
13
14 (For complete clarity: I use the direct way to read sensor values, not
15 via mbmon or lm-sensors.)

17 Has anyone else seen this? There was a thread discussing gkrellm not so
18 long ago, so I know there are other users around.
