I've never suffered any damage from sensors-detect (/me crosses fingers), but I have seen it cause kernel panics even on recent hardware (particularly when probing the ISA bus on a 64-bit ARM system which does not have an ISA bus), so running sensors-detect from an rpm %post scriptlet is probably a bad idea. If it does cause a kernel panic, it's going to cause a user panic, and it'll probably corrupt the rpm/yum/dnf databases since it crashed in the middle of a transaction. Can Freon check if sensors-detect has been run before, and if not, pop up a dialog box asking to run it and warn about the risks? -- Jeff Bastian _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
