Thanks for the hints !
What's strange is that in the sensors plugin GUI, the "sensor type"
concerning my GPU is called "nouveau-2000".
I don't have any other sensor source coming from "*nvidia*" or "*nv*".
I'm wondering how this lib can work without the official driver, and if
it's not related to the nouveau bug I have ?
