mystro256/xsensors

a fork of Xsensors with various improvements (GTK3, cleanup, bugfixes, enhancements)

xsensors - Mystro256 fork

This is an updated fork of xsensors (http://www.linuxhardware.org/xsensors/), which continues development where the original stream left off. It includes GTK3 support, a preference menu, bugfixes and various updates.

This is a program designed to display all the related information from your motherboard sensors. This information is gathered via lm_sensors, the software drivers that actually gathers the sensor information.

Requirements:

• lm_sensors 3.0.0+ (http://www.lm-sensors.org)
• gtk+ 2 or 3 (http://www.gtk.org)
• cairo (https://www.cairographics.org)

Installation:

./configure
make
make install

I would suggest running the detect script if you don't have lm_sensors configured yet:

sudo sensors-detect

xsensors's Issues

Feature request (implement max and min temps)

Thanks for the work you've done with this software. I'd like a feature that displays the maximum and the minimum temperature reached while the program is still running. And resets when the program is terminated.

Please ship a more modern icon for XSensors

Hi, my name is Richard Hughes and I work at Red Hat. I'm trying to build a distro-neutral framework to make installing applications easier. At the moment I'm trying to contact various upstream authors asking them to do things to make their software show up. I've got support from a number of distros, KDE, XFCE and GNOME, but I also need some degree of maintainer buy-in. Already there are over 1000 applications listed in the metadata, and over 25% of them supply the nice-to-have AppData file with screenshots.

XSensors does have a couple of small issues. It currently ships an XPM icon, which can't be parsed by the metadata extractor. The generator code is running 24x7 on a server, and so we've kept the supported icon formats to just .png and .svg for security reasons.

Would you perhaps consider shipping a more modern icon format such as PNG? To be included your application needs to ship an icon of at least 48x48px, and ideally 64x64px with an alpha channel to avoid padding. Additionally, please consider writing and installing an AppData file with the application description and some screenshots, otherwise your application will look kinda bare in the GNOME and KDE Software Centers. We'd also love to showcase more applications, but without the extra data file we can't.

See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for details about AppData and AppStream, or if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask; thanks!

Richard

Why is my PC still working if the CPUTIN is constantly in 127.5 degree celsius?

Why do lots of them are in red?

0.74 cannot run without xsensors.xpm

In 0.74 you migrate from xpm to png, but there is no changes in code, that expects old xsensors.xpm:

On Linux:
$ LC_ALL=C xsensors
No such file or directory: /usr/share/pixmaps/xsensors.xpm
No such file or directory: ./xsensors.xpm
Image file not found in either location! Exiting!

Please remove AM_PATH_GTK_2_0 from configure.ac

Hi!

Subject says it all, you can use Debian patch for this if you like it:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xsensors/-/blob/master/debian/patches/remove-gtk2-macro.patch

Thanks in advance,

GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL error

master GTK3 build fails with error on Ubuntu 18.04 x64

(xsensors:19809): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: 16:15:21.699: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed

0.80 release not affected to this issue.

Improve message on GUI failure

The XSensors start_gui function only fails when no supported sensors are found, so printed message could reflect this fact more accurately than a generic and unspecific "GUI failed!" message.
To fix this you can apply, for example, the existing Debian patch:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xsensors/-/blob/master/debian/patches/specify-gui-failure.patch

Thanks in advance!
