Comment 5 for bug 178267

Thanks for your reply.

I have now done new tests with the following results.

1) Test of hardinfo on Hardy Heron Alpha 2:
The program works generally very well. I cannot make it crash.

1a) However, the CPU ZLib test fails with an error message. It says "Cannot load ZLib. /usr/lib/libz.so not found".
I suggest that when the hardinfo is installed from the repo it also pulls down the Zlib as dependency. I think the package name is zlib1g (is it right?).

1b) There are also other minor issues with the presented data that could be improved.
The issues are:

The Devices -> Sensors should give proper name to the sensors.
Now it just reports fan1, fan2,... and temp1, temp2, temp3 which are meaningless names.

I know that lm-sensors (and CLI programs: sensors and sensors-detect) can distinguish between the various sensors and give them right names.
Also GNOMEs "Hardware Sensor Monitor" applet shows correct sensor names.

2) Test of updgraded hardinfo on Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy.
I removed the old hardinfo (apt-get remove) and installed the upgraded version provided by Cesare Tirabassi
http://ppa.launchpad.net/norsetto/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hardinfo/hardinfo_0.4.2.3-1~ppa1_i386.deb

This hardinfo version works very well and it didn't crash anymore.

But note the matter listed in 1b).
