I noticed on both KDE Multimedia and Dr460nized non-gaming (don't know about the others) that hddtemp is not part of them but sensors is.
It would be interesting to have hddtemp already packaged and running as a daemon/service.
It would be even more interesting if the default Conky config would include it, along with the other temp readings is has now.
I agree it's not that complicated to setup but I think it's logical and consistent with what is already included in the releases. In the end (sorry I don't understand why "releases. In" shows as URL?), Garuda is already steps ahead of other distros, but every reason to stay ahead could be good.
What's your thinking about this potential request?
Unneeded too often these days. Sensors can handle the whole job for many things (like nvme drives! ) On an older machine I still have it ${exec}'ing - but it could so easily be called bloat for others...
I guess that only applies to NVMes, but standard 2.5" SSDs don't show in sensors. I have a rack and swap/remove/reinstall disks, that doesn't work with NVMes.
Interesting to see AMDGPUs show up, though! Maybe inboard GPU and not external card. Anyway like I said that's fine as it is.
I am able to run hddtemp without sudo, too bad I'm not on my awesome Garuda machine right now, but you have to chmod +s or chown +s, can't recall... I can look that up tonight and post back as future reference if anyone uses hddtemp and wants info.
Normally just $hhdtemp in Conky should work, as it's an integrated command in Conky.
One method is to chmod +s /bin/hddtemp - but it is a bit ugly! Better to use the internal one if needed and working! Most of sensors is available from hwmon in conky as well - if you can find it and the right arguments...
Sometimes it just seems simpler to ${exec} something and get on with it!
