Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

After a quick search, this seems to be the same as Debian bug #665504 (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665504). I have tested with the patch from John Vogel, and it works.

Another thing to remember is that this error will also happen if you try to run xsensors without lm-sensors/kernel modules being fully loaded. A restart might help.

As for me the bug is solved since last upgrade to 12.04.

I am running 12.04, and the problem exists, even immediately after a fresh boot.
