I'd like to see: ls -dl /proc ls -dl /proc/sys ls -dl /proc/sys/dev ls -dl /proc/sys/dev/sensors Also, try setting some limits the old fashion way (as root): cd /proc/sys/dev/sensors/it87-isa-0290 echo "0.5 1.0" > in1 Anything special logged in syslog/messages? Lastly, double check (I know you looked once) that you only have a single libsensors installed: ldconfig -v | grep libsensors Phil Derek Dolney wrote: > Jean Delvare wrote: > >> (please reply to the list, not to me only) >> >> >> >>> I run sensors -s (as root!) and get this message: >>> >>> ----------------------snip------------------------- >>> it87-isa-0290: Can't access /proc file for writing; >>> Run as root? >>> ----------------------snip------------------------- >>> >>> The i2c-proc IS inserted. >>> >>> I am using lm_sensors-2.7.0.
