Bug Description
In past versions of Ubuntu, the XFCE sensors plugin worked. I just upgraded to Artful 17.10 and it does not work anymore. The problem seems to be that settings were lost and cannot be configured anymore. All I see on the panel is the word "Sensors" in bold. Double clicking that gives me a configuration dialog. My old settings are gone. I can change settings in the dialog, but after I close and re-open the dialog I always see the same settings, as if I made no changes. The weather plugin also lost settings when I upgraded to Artful, but after I configured it, the settings were remembered, even after a reboot.

I don't know of any way to make this work with the package from 17.10 / Artful, but installing the current 1.2.6-1 xfce4-sensors- plugin from 17.04 / Zesty makes the plugin work. No other changes were needed. With the plugin from Zesty the plugin output on the panel immediately changes when I change settings. I got it from: https:/ /packages. ubuntu. com/zesty/ amd64/xfce4- sensors- plugin/ download
