CPU Temperature and Battery Monitor gDesklet
Andy asked me how I got the CPU temperature gDesklet to work. I just hacked at some existing display files to get it to work. I am looking into being able to set the interval of checks, but may wait until I get to play with the new version of gDesklets.
I started off with LT Variations. Add the additional files to (LTVariations directory)/Displays/LTCandy/. Here are my additional files:
- lt_cputemp_battery.tar.bz2

This requires that you have ACPI working on your laptop and that the sensors are picking up data. The icons are shamelessly stolen from other gDesklets. Note that this is for gDesklets version 0.26.2.

Thanks, your desklet seems to be working perfectly with Gdesklets 0.34 and gnome 2.
I get the same useless error i get with the other 50 lm_sensors-based desklets i've tried; /usr/share/gdesklets/utils/ErrorFormatter.py " list index out of range > 42 filename = tbs[-1][0] " This, obviously, means that not only doesn't it work; there's no damn traceback available.. Lovely! If you have any suggestions how this might be "cured", do tell. Thanks
