Public bug reported:
$ LANG=C xfce4-sensors
"hddtemp" was not executed correctly, although it is executable. This is
most probably due to the disks requiring root privileges to read their
temperatures, and "hddtemp" not being setuid root.
An easy but dirty solution is to run "chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp" as
root user and restart this plugin or its panel.
Calling "/usr/sbin/hddtemp -n -q /dev/sda" gave the following error:
/dev/sda: open: Permission denied
with a return value of 256.
OK, so we set suid bit to hddtemp:
$ sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp
