Public bug reported: hddtemp reports drive name incorrectly for some drives:
$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda /dev/sda: KINGSTON RBU-SC100S37128DG �: 37°C Note extra spaces and garbage characters before colon. This is not only minor cosmetic issue, but breaks some gnome-shell plugins for HDD temperature reporting. I've found a patch included into Fedora which fixes the issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1061649 hddtemp output is correct with the patch applied: $ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda /dev/sda: KINGSTON RBU-SC100S37128GD: 37°C Patched package is available in my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~yura-p/+archive/ubuntu/tests ** Affects: hddtemp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: patch ** Patch added: "hddtemp-fix-drive-name.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878780/+attachment/5371903/+files/hddtemp-fix-drive-name.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878780 Title: [PATCH] hddtemp reports drive name incorrectly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hddtemp/+bug/1878780/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
