indicator sensors not showing all sensors only one and other don't appear on saucy salamander 13.10 daily built

[Dr. Amr Osman]

When I installed saucy salamnader 13.10 and indicator sensors don't show more than one temperature
all other are not showing

[intronauta (intronauta77)]

Same here in Ubuntu 13.10 64 bits, fresh install.

Context panel only shows one sensor info, and if I uncheck the icon display, it showed a forbidden/null icon.

I've attached a screenshot with the bugs and a terminal-log (I can't see errors related to).

**The context menu is transparent because everytime I push "impr Pant" button in my keyboard, the context menu disappears with a fade out animation, but you can see (badly) only a sensor info and empty lines below.

I've just uploaded the newly released version 0.5 of indicator-sensors to the official release PPA for saucy - please try this and see if it resolves the issue.

[Id2ndR (id2ndr)]

indicator-sensors 0.5-1 from http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexmurray/indicator-sensors/ubuntu/ saucy/main i386 package doesn't solve the issue on my computer.

Same here: only shows one option on 0.5-1

[Alex Murray (alexmurray)]

Can you please provide more informatino - what do you mean 'only shows one option?' - the Ubuntu AppIndicator API only supports showing a single icon / label for an indicator so only one sensor can be chosen to show in the panel - there is no way to work around this - it is a limitation of Ubuntu. If however you mean that there is only one sensor listed under Preferences, but you think there should be others, then please post more details of what you are expecting. Also some command-line output would be useful too.

[Id2ndR (id2ndr)]

In my case:
- I check 3 elements in the preferences (libsensors/acpitz-virtual-0/6, libsensors/coretemp-isa-0000/0, libsensors/coretemp-isa-0000/4)
- libsensors/acpitz-virtual-0/6 is shown in the panel
- libsensors/coretemp-isa-0000/0 and libsensors/coretemp-isa-0000/4 aren't visible in the menu (one click on the panel), but there is some vertical space instead (about 2 pixels instead of 15 pixels if the was some text)

Sometime when I check/uncheck items in the preferences, some elements became visible in the menu. This probably is a bug in GTK3 or other component rather than in indicator-sensors itself. Indeed I've seen this exact same bug on indicator-weather too.

Attached a screen grab showing the bug. I have several sensors enabled, yet menu looks like it is both missing some and "hiding" others (since it's not big enough). This on a clean install of Ubuntu 13.10, latest updates as of now (including indicator-sensors).

indicator-sensors startup log.

[Alex Murray (alexmurray)]

Thanks guys for the extra information - I've been able to reproduce the issue and it should now be fixed in the just-released version 0.6 - this has been pushed to the official PPA and is building as I type this so new builds should be available by the time you read this - please let me know if it resolves the problem for you.

[Øyvind Stegard (oyvindstegard)]

Confirming fix for Ubuntu 13.10. Menu is proper in 0.6.

[intronauta (intronauta77)]

Now works fine in Ubuntu 13.10, but if I disable the "show icon" box, a null/missed/unknow icon is showed

Not this bug, but .. confirming that. When disabling icon in prefs, a
missing icon placeholder is shown in the panel instead.

[Alex Murray (alexmurray)]

Can you please file a separate bug report about the icon issue? I can
confirm this and it seems that with the appindicator version in saucy it is
not possible to have an indicator without an icon.
