hddtemp error
Using Linux Lite, I would get the following error upon startup:
"hddtemp" was not executed correctly, although it is executable. This is most probably due to the disks requiring root privileges to read their temperatures, and "hddtemp" not being setuid root. An easy but dirty solution is to run "chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp" as root user and restart this plugin or its panel. Calling "/usr/sbin/hddtemp -n -q /dev/sda" gave the following error: /dev/sda: Permission denied
The error flashes by too fast, so I copied it from the Ubuntu Forums forum where I found the fix, which was to type:
sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp
and restart the panel by typing:
xfce4-panel -r
