CPUTemp format None

[danielemarmiroli]

Hi!

When the output of _fetch_VARIABLENAME() is None , there's no __format__ and you get

errors like non-empty format string passed to object.__format__

E.g. in may case, in class CPUTemp, fomat(self._fetch_cputemp()) (in sensors.py ln 581) generates

a runtime error of that kind.

I changed the line above to return "{!s:2s}\u00B0C".format(self._fetch_cputemp())

to force formatting the output of _fetch_cputemp to a str obj. Not very pretty but works as a quick fix.

I don't even know if this is the best way to do it! ahahah

About why I get None, this is a mystery. When I first apt installed it, it was reading the cputemp,

after reboot it doesn't anymore. I have a dual Xeon W5580. On my laptop it works perfectly.

Any advice is strongly welcome! Tnx!

def _fetch_cputemp(self): - line 583 in sensors.py

It is trying to find the temperature via /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

and as a fallback via /sys/class/hwmon/

So the former should be defined by the linux kernel - it would be interesting to navigate to /sys/class/thermal ... and see if the temperature is defined in a slightly different file name/folder-name

Yeah - the function should not return a None - it will only do so when both fallbacks fail. So the final ret statement should check if None and instead return a zero number

Hi, under /sys/class/thermal/ I find 17 subdirs named cooling_deviceN with N=0,1,..16

The tree is the same for each of them

dan@Odin:cooling_device12$ ls
cur_state device max_state power subsystem type uevent

I've looked everywhere but I don't find temp ..they're mostly empty files or empty dirs ...

lm-sensors works fine, do you know how to locate where it reads from?

Thank you for your help!

Cheers
