xsensors lacks support for a number of chipsets and displays nothing

[Prajna]

Just installed xsensors, having newly upgraded to Edgy. I followed the howto to get sensors working and then ran xsensors. Nothing is displayed in the xsensors window (which is tiny). I drag the window out to a larger size and then close it. Then it crashes with the following bug report:

[Danny Staple (danny-orionrobots)]

I am seeing exactly the same behaviour in xsensors 0.46 (xsensors 0.46-1ubuntu1).
I have lm-sensors installed on the Edgy system, and successfully ran sensors-detect, inserted the appropriate modules, and then ran sensors. Sensor on the command line shows coherent and reasonable data.
Running XSensors behaves exactly this way.

When run from the command line - I do note that I see:
Sensor 'it8712' not supported by xsensors!

When I close it - the standard "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" message is shown.

Output from sensors:

I have attached the report with stacktrace, thread stacktrace etc enabled.

[Danny Staple (danny-orionrobots)]

Confirmed - since there are two duplicates, and I can 100% reproduce this.

[Danny Staple (danny-orionrobots)]

I am now seeing different behaviour in Gutsy - the box is displayed at the correct size, and has a number of sensors in it. If I resize the window the application stays running and does not crash. I think this defect has been fixed, and that Prajna should try it again now in Gutsy.

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

I can reproduce this problem in Intrepid Beta (though not the crashing part). Xsensors displays nothing. Upgrading to the newest upstream version - 0.60, may be the key towards solving this problem ( Bug 206862 ).

[shankao (shankao)]

Still not working in last Jaunty packaged version (xsensors 0.50). Same symthoms.

[bhuvi (bhuvanesh)]

xsensors starts tiny and is blank when expanded.This was the case for me from gusty to jaunty,still no improvement through all these releases

[wpshooter (joverstreet1)]

I can not speak for any of the previous releases but for me the Xsensor program has finally been fixed so that it works perfectly under Jaunty.

However, let me say that if you got to Jaunty via an upgrade from a previous version of Ubuntu (as opposed to installing Jaunty from scratch), then it is probably NOT going to work correctly.

Thanks.

[bhuvi (bhuvanesh)]

my jaunty was installed from scratch and sensors command works perfectly but xsensors doesn't work

[wpshooter (joverstreet1)]

What do you mean when you say sensors command works perfectly ?

Are you referring to the sensors-detect command ? And if so, are you rebooting computer subsequent to issuing the sensors-detect command (that is after it has completed it's detection of sensors) and are you answering YES to the last question, so that the xsensors command is started when machine is started ?

Thanks.

[Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek (mgol)]

I think he meant (or at least I do) that 'sensors' command displays correct info, like:

$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +41.5°C (crit = +107.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +35.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1: +36.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

while xsensors app doesn't work at all. It should be either fixed or removed from repositories. I vote for the removal.

[Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek (mgol)]

Oh, and I installed 64-bit Karmic from scratch (I did not update from Jaunty etc.).

[bhuvi (bhuvanesh)]

xsensors still doesnt work in my karmic installation too.

[Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek (mgol)]

@bhuvi
You can use sensors-applet. I guess xsensors should be removed from repository due to its current state.

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

I built an i386 package for xsensors 0.60. Can you guys test it out? Be sure to run sesnsors-detect first.

If xsensors still malfunctions, then I think we should remove it, else we should upgrade it - see Bug #206862

[shankao (shankao)]

Same thing for the 0.60 version under lucid following Nanley suggestion. I get a tiny program window that, when resized, shows empty contents.
I ran sensors-detect before running the program as indicated.

IMHO, this is a non working program in the repositories. So, either someone fixes and packages it again, or we remove it from the repositories, the last being the better for now. We have sensors-applet as an alternative.

[bhuvi (bhuvanesh)]

great xsensors works for me in karmic.never seen such working xsensors before.it's great to see it working.great job!!

[bhuvi (bhuvanesh)]

can i expect to see the above package in updates any time soon in karmic

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

@shankao
Did sensors-detect recommend any modules to load? And if so, did xsensors still display nothing after you loaded the modules?
Thanks.

[wpshooter (joverstreet1)]

Do NOT remove from repositories, works fine for me under Karmic 32 bit version. The program is displayed/listed as Xsensors 0.50.

Do you have ALL Ubuntu updates applied to your Karmic installation ?

[shankao (shankao)]

@Nanley. Yes: coretemp and I loaded it before testing. Still no display, I'm adding two screen captures : first one shows the window as it initialy appears on screen and the second one when resized.

[shankao (shankao)]

@wpshooter: yes, it's lucid with all the latests patches applied before building the package with the original 0.60 tarball.

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

@shankao,

Did you apply the patch that adds coretemp support before building the package? It's included in my i386 .deb in comment #14, or you can find it at the bottom of Bug #206862. I am also using coretemp and the new xsensors works just fine.

[bhuvi (bhuvanesh)]

@Nanley Chery

Its working fine but it uses too much cpu in my pentium4 system.I have
karmic installed in it.

[shankao (shankao)]

@Nanley
.deb file in comment #14 works for me, but you should make a debdiff file instead of the binary package.

[shankao (shankao)]

@Nanley: You can find more useful information at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

The patch for this revision comes from two files in the new upstream version (chips.h and chips.c) http://freshmeat.net/projects/xsensors/ and the author's patch for coretemp support, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2008-September/004711.html .

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Why should I sponsor this version, when you are working on getting the new upstream release packaged (bug #206862)? I would like to sponsor the new upstream release instead.

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

If there aren't any objections, I've changed the title of this bug to mirror the problems everyone was experiencing.

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Lucid Lynx. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/xsensors/0.60-1

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "How to request new packages" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#request-new-packages
