[BUG] Can't get value of subfeature in0_input: Can't read

[MuriloucoLouco]

Describe the bug When i run archey, it gives the following message:

WARNING: [lm-sensors]: ERROR: Can't get value of subfeature in0_input: Can't read
ERROR: Can't get value of subfeature in1_input: Can't read

And don't display the temperature correctly (it says Temperature: 47.3 C (Max. 47.5 C)).

Expected behavior To show the temperature correctly and not give an error.

Environment

• Version used (4.Y.Z) : v4.12.0
• Method of installation (distribution package, PyPI, Homebrew, sources) : pip install
• Hardware type (laptop, server, Raspberry, hyper-visor) : Desktop
• Python version (3.Y.Z) : 3.9.6
• Operating system and version : 5.11.22-2-MANJARO
• Graphical environment name and version : KDE 5.22.3
• Connectivity (off-line, LAN only, Internet access) : Internet access

Additional context I have all dependencies installed.

This is the output of sensors -u:

amdgpu-pci-0700
Adapter: PCI adapter

Hello !

• About the warning/error message : this happens when sensors cannot fetch some feature values (for instance, in my very case, it occurs when the WiFi controller is disabled, as it contains a detected thermal sensor as well). You can hide it by setting the suppress_warnings configuration option to true. If you don't want to hide warning messages globally, you will want to populate sensors_chipsets white-list containing "smoothly-working" chipsets names (in your case k10temp-pci-00c3). You can refer to configuration documentation.
• About the supposedly wrong temperature : Temperature entry computes an average value based on multiple sources. In your case (GNU/Linux on desktop), detected sensors features are being summed with CPU (and maybe others) thermal sensors values (from /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp files). That's why the value displayed can differ from a simple sensors execution.

EDIT : sensors error messages are being shown on purpose to let the user know about a possible configuration error, or any low-level issue. Archey options are here to workaround/clarify the setup.

See #45 & #47.

Closing here, do not hesitate to ask for help or even disapprove my points.

@MuriloucoLouco there was actually a bug with the sensors_chipsets option when multiple items were specified. This has been fixed in 063b19d and released as v4.13.0.
