Latest version on extensions.gnome.org crashes gnome

[beatgammit]

gnome-shell: 3.8.2 OS: Arch Linux

The comments on the home page seem like the problem I'm seeing, but I haven't looked at the logs.

Let me know what other debug info I can give.

Hello @beatgammit,

Seems like hendersj is on the right track there. To verify this could you please answer the following questions?

You said you use Arch, am I right about the fact that you use systemd as init system?

If that is the case, what is the output of

systemctl show hddtemp.service -p ActiveState

and

systemctl show hddtemp.service -p MainPID

[beatgammit]

• systemctl show hddtemp.service -p ActiveState: ActiveState=inactive
• systemctl show hddtemp.service -p MainPID: 0

Also:

systemctl status hddtemp.service

Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)

I don't have hddtemp installed. I'll install and get back to you.

I don't have hddtemp installed. I'll install and get back to you.

That's okay, exactly this case should be handled properly.

Could you please test the latest version, following the instructions for manual installation?

[beatgammit]

I installed hddtemp, started the server and still got the crash. I'll uninstall it and test the latest version.

That works for me! Temperatures look consistent with acpi -t, but I get two temp1 entries in the drop-down. I'm not sure what this is, but acpi -t only gives two:

$ acpi -t
Thermal 0: ok, 26.3 degrees C
Thermal 1: ok, 62.5 degrees C

This extension doesn't use the interface acpi -t uses, it relies only on the sensors (like in the application 'sensors') output. So if there are two "temp1" entries in the sensors output it works as expected. If that isn't the case please open a new issue for that.
