(Get the code!)
On my setup indicator-sensors works only when the discrete GPU is active, while when the integrated GPU is active it doesn't start at all and eats 100% of a CPU core.
I'm not expecting indicator-sensors to read the discrete GPU temp when is inactive but the contrary, it shouldn't try to read the sensor when that GPU is switched off, this seems to be the cause of the hang I'm seeing.
aticonfig --px-list-
says
PowerXpress: Integrated GPU is active (Power-Saving mode).
when the discrete GPU is not in use, in this case indicator-sensors should give up looking for the ATI sensor.
Hope the problem is more clear now.
Thanks
