Hello Brian, Thanks for you answer. Indeed, you were right: after activating the hddtemp daemon, gkrellm now correctly displays the HDD temperature. I suggest then that you add a small note in the file README.Debian warning the user about this, something like this: Using hddtemp with gkrellm -------------------------- To use hddtemp functionality with Gkrellm, you need to activate hddtemp daemon feature listening on port 7634. You can do this with 'dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp'. BTW there is a small bug in hddtemp debconf templates: it still references gkrellm-hddtemp while it should be gkrellm itself. I will file a minor bug for this. Thanks again! Fred -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
