[Solved]xfce4-sensors-plugin doesn't show hddtemp data

As i wrote in the subject, i've a problem with this xfce plugin.
It works correctly showing cpu/motherboard temperatures but it seems unable to gather data from hddtemp daemon.
This last one is running and "netcatting" its port the informations appear (as reported below).

Googleing didn't helped at all.

I have chmodded hddtemp's binary file (chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp): didn't help either

I'll post some report regarding hddtemp

dak ~  $  netcat localhost 7634
|/dev/sda|Maxtor 6Y080L0|38|C||/dev/sdb|MAXTOR STM3200820A|44|C||/dev/sdc|WDC WD1600YS-01SHB1|35|C||/dev/sdd|Maxtor 6V200E0|46|C|

hddtemp's configuration file

dak ~  $  cat /etc/conf.d/hddtemp 
PARAMS="-q -l 127.0.0.1"
DRIVES="/dev/sd[abcd]"

Installed versions:
xfce4-sensors-plugin version: 0.10.99.6-1
hddtemp version: 0.3.beta15.45-1

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thank you

I think you have to change that so that hddtemp understands which drive it is supposed to check.
DRIVES="/dev/sd[abcd]" will only confuse it.

I've tried without result.
I put
DRIVES="/dev/sda"
and restarted hddtemp deamon.

Reinstalling xfce4-sensors-plugin doesn't help.

Nothing...

Can you post your xfce4-sensors-plugin configuration file? Maybe there's something wrong with mine

dak ~  $  cat .config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-sensors-plugin-12356925991.rc

Re: [Solved]xfce4-sensors-plugin doesn't show hddtemp data

Hm, I don't use tha xfce sensor plugin myself--I use Conky to get rid of too much things from my panel--but when I checked, I found out that I don't have any hddtemp reading myself. It seems that it doesn't support hddtemp. I took for granted it did. Sorry if I misled you.

No problem

I'm sure that xfce sensors plugin show hddtemp data because with my old debian it works like a charm.

xfce 4.6 is just released, maybe....

Thanks anyway

Hi all. Getting the hddtemp working together with xfce4-sensors-plugin is on my list. Feel free to file a feature request/bugreport in our tracker. I hope I'll get this done in the final 4.6 packages.

Re: [Solved]xfce4-sensors-plugin doesn't show hddtemp data

I know this thread is old, but could you please post the solution for this issue?

Having installed:

yaourt -Qs hddtemp
extra/hddtemp 0.3.beta15.45-2

yaourt -Qs xfce4-sensors-plugin
extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin 0.10.99.6-2 (xfce4-goodies)

ps aux | grep hddtemp
root      9355  0.0  0.0   5968   952 ?        S    16:04   0:00 hddtemp -d /dev/sda

cat /etc/conf.d/hddtemp 
PARAMS="-q -l 127.0.0.1"
DRIVES="/dev/sda"

Also hddtemp can read my temperatures:

hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: WDC WD3200AAKS-00L9A0: 32°C

Suid-Bit is set

ls -l /usr/sbin/hddtemp
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 29272  5. Mär 19:10 /usr/sbin/hddtemp

Re: [Solved]xfce4-sensors-plugin doesn't show hddtemp data

Same problem here... I believe, it's since the last update of the xfce4-sensors-plugin to version extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin 1.0.0-1.
Previously it worked.

I can read temperatures as user with hddtemp:

$ hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: SAMSUNG HD103SI: 27°C

The hddtemp service is running...

The content of /etc/conf.d/hddtemp  is:
$ cat /etc/conf.d/hddtemp
PARAMS="-q -l 127.0.0.1"
DRIVES="/dev/sda"

The hddtemp binary has its setuid bit:
~$ ls -l /usr/sbin/hddtemp
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 29272  5. Mär 2009  /usr/sbin/hddtemp

... but in the xfce4-sensors properties hddtemp doesn't show up.

Has anybody a helping hint?

Re: [Solved]xfce4-sensors-plugin doesn't show hddtemp data

Tried now the version from AUR,  aur/xfce4-sensors-plugin-git 20100202-1. With this version, I can flawlessly select "Hard disks" in the drop down menu of the properties.

=> Seems to be a problem with the version in the extra repository.
