What is this and why is it here? What does it have to do with lm-sensors? Ziusudra (talk) 02:56, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
sensors-detect requries perl
I had this strange error message on a freshly installed archlinux:
[fabio@muletto ~]$ sudo sensors-detect
sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/sensors-detect: No such file or directory
[fabio@muletto ~]$
when I realized this:
[fabio@muletto ~]$ head -1 /usr/bin/sensors-detect
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
[fabio@muletto ~]$
and this:
[fabio@muletto ~]$ perl
-bash: perl: command not found
[fabio@muletto ~]$
after installing perl it worked. Fabioamd87 (talk) 14:58, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- It's listed as an optional dependency "for sensor detection and configuration convert" of lm_sensors. You should have seen a message about it when installing the package. -- nl6720 (talk) 15:16, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- ah ok, sorry I didn't noticed and the error message was too generic to lead to this requirements. Fabioamd87 (talk) 16:22, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
