hardware-sensors.py crashed with ValueError in read_sensor()

[Sean Whitney]

Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04
awn-applets-c-extras - 0.3.9~bzr1944-0ubuntu1
I was expecting to see the current temperature (and to see a variance in values)
The values showing do not change. The applet detected the problem but didn't restart.

Thanks for your bug report. Fowarded upstream.

I think I'll need some more info here.

Sean, can you please post the output of "netcat localhost 7634". Thanks
