Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xfce4-sensors-plugin
when an SD card is present in the SD/MMC card reader, the plugin fails
with error message in a popup:
x----------x
"hddtemp" was not executed correctly although it is executable ... not being
setuid root.
An easy but dirty solution is to run "chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp" as
root user and restart the plugin or its panel.
Calling "/usr/sbin/hddtemp -n -q /dev/mmcblk0" gave the following error:
ERREUR: /dev/mmcblk0: Impossible de détecter le type de bus (ou ce type de bus
est inconnu)
x----------x
Approximated translation:
ERROR: /dev/mmcblk0: Unable to detect the bus type (or this bus type is unknown)
x----------x
AFAIK the bug is due to the plugin trying to read temperature of the SD card,
which is not available.
The plugin should catch this error and ignore it silently.
If I insert the card later, once the panel is started, I don't meet such error.
Note: the beginning of the error message is irrelevant to this kind of
error.
