Description Alexander Konotop 2012-12-28 12:06:31 CET
I have two videocards - one in apu and another is external. And I'm able to switch on/off the second one in bios. Both have it's temp sensors - radeon-8 and radeon-100. If I disable second card in bios - sensors applet will crash at login even if radeon-100 was not enabled before to show on the panel.

plugin version is 1.2.5.
xfce is 4.10.

Your config file would be helpful. See .config/share/xfce4/panel/sensors-plugin.conf or similar. Send it to me so that I see the reasons, only then remove that file and everyhing will work again. Also, you can run the stand-alone application to verify that still everything works wrt. your GPU temperature sensors. And you can modify that file to not contain the radeon-100 stuff and everything should also run because the bug seems to be caused by stupidly relying on unchanged order of the sensors, and if there is one less than when last configured, there still seem to be some problems.

I've added appropriate attachments.
And You've misunderstood a little. It's not a problem to get it working again after crash (if I've disabled second gpu in bios during reboot) but I'll just have to add it once more to panel and to configure. So the main point of the bug is not to make it working with 2 gpu's but to reconfigure itself after hardware changes. Maybe it's rather a feature request but not a bug, but everyone who enables/disables the second gpu sometimes will face with this issue. Maybe some other hardware changes will have same affect - for example disconnecting of a sata drive.

Should be fixed with bug 9395.
