I've emerged succesfully gDesklets-0.20 and I've downloaded SysInfo-0.20.tar.bz2 directly from official site.

When I run:

I presume all the sensors that display needs are also installed ?

I modified the ebuild from http://www.breakmygentoo.net/ to make it work with gDesklets 0.20. I also included all sensors I found at http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/. You can get the ebuild here. And yes, sysinfo works

Have fun

If you run gdesklets in a terminal, it will give you a more detailed description. eg. Image not found, invalid xml, etc.

If you look at the other gDesklets thread for a tar of the -core and desklet- ebuilds, I purposely left SysInfo out because it seemed far too buggy for me.

If you're running GNOME Applications->Accessories->gDesklets Displays and click on the folder, and then the .display. Sensors only provide information to Displays, they don't provide anything visible, which is, by their nature, for the Displays to do. Displays can be added from /usr/share/gdesklets/Displays.

If you're using my ebuilds in the other thread (the version 0.20 ones), then I can ensure you that the Displays are in /usr/share/gdesklets/Displays.

Posted 0.20-r1 as promised. Added few more sensors, got rid of the warnings, and moved the how-to info to be displayed after merge. You can get it here.

Seti Sensor seems to be broken, it complains about an invalid display, and it may be broken. Is there an issue with the desklet or is it me?

scott,

i got the same errors as you. i opened the seti.display file with a text editor and noticed that it's trying to load sensors that you might not have (they don't come with seti sensor) . you need to get LTVariations and IconButton. install the sensors that are related to your problem and you should be fine.
