sensors-detect does not detect anything

[vaclav@…]

Hello!

Script sensors-detect does not detect anything.

I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - Dapper Drake.

The same bug I had discovered in the previous release.

Kernel: 2.6.15-25-386

Motherboard: ASUSTeK P4P800 Mainboard

Package: lm-sensors=2.9.2-5ubuntu3

root@vaclav:/root# sensors-detect
No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them.
root@vaclav:/root#

probable solution (a patch):

+  if (!$use_udev) {
     # Try some known default udev db locations, just in case
-    if (-e '/dev/.udev.tdb' || -e '/dev/.udev'

+    {
       $use_udev = 1;
       $dev_i2c = '/dev/i2c-';
     }

Best regards!

Already fixed in 2.10.0:

Fix the udev detection in the case /etc/udev/udev.conf exists
but doesn't mention a specific db location. Tested by Rudolf Marek.

As a side note, the second part of your change wasn't needed, as '/dev/.udev' must exit for '/dev/.udev/db' to exist.
