lm-sensors issues. init.d scripts [Solved]

[AbuYahya]

Greetings I am new to the forum and to Sabayon just insatalled last night, it is running well.

I have been using Linux Mint12 KDE 4.8.2 for about 6 months - quite sucessfully without breaking it - in the past I usually break the ssytem and then get fed up and go back to windows.

I use 'conky' to display fan speeds on the desktop like this http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Futuristic+Conky+2.3.0?content=151440

lm_sensors is not picking up the motherboard. Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
it was fine in LInuxMint12 and the output of that is as follows

Code: Select all

in sabayon 10 it only out puts the CPU

Obviously I have run sensors-detect and injected the it87 into the config file through sensors-detect and even rebooted.
But can't mange to get it to recognise

[AbuYahya]

if i run the following then it works fine

sudo /etc/init.d/lm_sensors start

does this then imply that the init.d scripts are not running on boot??

[Fitzcarraldo]

As root user in a Konsole/Terminal window:

Code: Select all

rc-update add lm_sensors default

Then reboot and check it is running:

Code: Select all

rc-status | grep sensors

[AbuYahya]

That did the trick. Thank you kindly.

So as I understand it not all system init.d scripts run at boot but rather need to be added to this 'rc' command. ???
is that correct?

[Fitzcarraldo]

The rc-update command is used to add init scripts to run levels, or to remove init scripts from run levels, or to see the current status of init scripts:

Code: Select all

rc-update add <initscript> <runlevel>
rc-update del <initscript> <runlevel>
rc-update show -v

See the Gentoo Handbook, Part 2, Chapter 4 Initscripts for details.
