[solved] hddtemp config file removed by pacman

Raqua · 2013-05-24 06:22:12

Hello,

I noticed that /etc/conf.d/hddtemp config file was renamed to hdtemp.pacsave by pacman uring recent upgrade.
There are 3 drives in my system which were specified in this file so my Conky can get the temperature of those.

Now, aparently Conky sees only one drive as if the other two drives were not configured. I can not find anything about this change. Putting the file back did not help either.
Do you know a proper way to configure hddtemp these days? I asume it might have something to do with systemd changes.

Hello

look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Us … ra#hddtemp

Good Luck!

Thank you, that should do the trick I guess.

I wonder who came with this 'brilliant' idea that we now need to edit service start scripts in order to configure it instead of having a clean settings file.
And I was right expecting systemd to blame.

You are welcome.

PS: Nothing to blame to systemd, hddtemp does not support configuration file
