Stopped working with kernels 2.6.37 and 2.6.38 on Arch Linux. I verified that acpi temperature information from multiple sensors is there and can be read from the command line and/or conky.
still have no temperature displayed with LXPanel 0.5.7 on archlinux with kernel 2.6.39
But is it really a problem with the kernel? I thought the applet gets it informations from lm_sensors?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The plugin does not use lm_sensors. It tries to read the temperature from /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature but newer kernels have the data available in /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp instead. If someone is interested, I put a patch for 0.5.8 here: http://paste.org/pastebin/view/37227

Oh, pastebin seems to mess with plain text and, thus, has corrupted the patch. It should work if you replace all three occurences of "&buf;" with "&buf" (no semicolon!). How do I attach files here?

I believe this issue is completely fixed in the latest version of LXPanel. Try it, please, and let us know if something is still wrong. Thank you very much.

If I access the settings for the temperature monitor, and tick automatic sensor location, the tray icon shows -273
If I untick automatic sensor location the tray icon shows "NA"
I have a dual cpu motherboard; so, I have two cpus I have lm-sensors installed.
sensors lists them as follows with their current readings.
k8temp-pci-00c3
k8temp-pci-00cb
I have tried unticking automatic sensor location in the tray icon and putting k8temp-pci-00c3 in the Sensor box, and the behavior does not change.
I believe this issue is completely fixed in the latest version of LXPanel. Try it, please, and let us know if something is still wrong. Thank you very much.
