sensors applet crashes after changing preferences

2016-11-29T20:03:30.861000Z

Sensors applet runs fine in gnome panel, but whenever I try to change any
preference, it "quits unexpectedly" when closing the preference window.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with FVWM desktop. All other gnome applets work
without problems in my gnome panel. I notice that sensors is supposed to
require libpanel-applet-4 which is not installed on my system. When I start to install
it, Ubuntu's package manager tell me that it will have to uninstall gnome-applets,
gnome-panel, and a few other packages, which looks bad! Do you know if libpanel-applet-4 provide gnome-panel and gnome-applets if these packages get removed? Or perhaps that's not the reason for this behavior?

Thanks! I believe you can close this bug now. (I don't have permissions to do that myself.)

One minor thing remaining: you need to apply the attached patch to fix POTFILES.in.

This has been fixed even before I filed this bug :)

Thanks Lucian!

Hi,

gnome-panel developers recently released version 3.14 with API break, and sensors-applet no longer builds against that.

Major differences:

The library is now named libpanel-applet, not libpanelapplet-4.0.
All panel_applet_gconf_* functions have been removed. You should use gsettings instead.
You should use GAction instead of deprecated GtkAction.

I have created a branch where the last commit addresses first and third points. Re the second point, I simply disabled all settings to make it build. You may want to fix it properly, though.

My branch: https://sourceforge.net/u/mandriver/sensors-applet/

Applet icons don't appear after reboot in 'icon only' display mode

2013-01-17T00:14:56.695000Z

This is a strange behaviour happening on Ubuntu 12.10 with gnome-session-fallback.

Summary: The applet can be added to the panel, one can select which sensors to display, change their icon, etc. flawlessly. If we change the display mode to "icons only", it displays as expedted (icons only) but after reboot nothing is displayed for applet.

System:
- Mountain Systems laptop (www.mountain.es), "StudioMX 17 ivy" model
- Mem: 7,7 GiB
- CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz × 8
- Graphics: "Unknown". But it has an Nvidia Optimus (Intel i915 + nvidia GeForce GTX 660M)
- OS type: 64 bits
- Disk: Kingston SH103S3240G solid state drive

Steps to reproduce:

Install a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 with "ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso"
Login (Unity desktop)
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback lm-sensors sensors-applet
Reboot, select Gnome Classic and login again (now Gnome desktop)

You will will have now installed:
- gnome-panel 1:3.6.0-0ubuntu2
- lm-sensors 1:3.3.1-2ubuntu2
- sensors-applet 3.0.0-0.2ubuntu1

6.. Win+Alt + right-click the top panel, Add to panel, Sensors applet
7.. Enable/disable the desired sensors to display. Close prefs window. Everything works as expected

Issue:

8.. Select Preferences / General Options / Display sensors as "icon only".
9.. Reboot and login again.

Expected result: The applet should be visible and should display the icons for the sensors (just the icons).

Obtained result: Nothing is displayed, as if the appled was never added to the panel. No applet icons are visible. there's nowhere to right-click to enter Preferences again or remove the applet from the panel.

But the applet is running. Killing sensors-applet makes the applet finally display something (a thin vertical line) and a dialog is displayed telling that the applet has just died and prompting me to reload it.

(See attached screenshot for a graphical summary)

Note: this issue of nothing being displayed for applet when in "icon only" mode happens for the first time after a reboot.

But if the user adds the applet to the panel and just closes the session and then logins again, the applet is displayed properly. It will not survive a reboot, though.

I can provide some more information if needed. Thanks.
