install_downloads.sh fails to install HWMonitor.app
Memphiz opened this issue · comments
When installing everything via install_downloads.sh there are 2 issues for me with HWMonitor.app.
- The installed version under /Applications/HWMonitor.app can't be started due to wrong filesystem permissions of the Growl.framework inside the app bundle
- Once that is fixed the HWMonitor.app shows an insanely high fan speed in the title bar - the fan speed is shown correctly inside the HWMonitor settings were the "to be shown" items are selected though.
Fixed the permissions issue (just changed _install_subs.sh to not use sudo).
But I can't reproduce the problem you mention regarding fan speed. First, I don't know what you mean by "fan speed in the title bar". You can place fan speed in the popup, or in the system menu bar, but not in the title bar (of the popup?
When I place the fan speed inside the menu bar, it works fine as it does also in the popup.
I meant system menu bar. Will try again once back from vacation - thx for the permission fix :)
Confirmed that HWMonitor.app now is properly installed by install_downloads.sh.
Still the fan reading differs between the menu bar and the settings dialog - see screenshot:

Using HWMonitor.app Version 6.16.1372 shows fan speeds correct everywhere.
You should try resetting your HWMonitor prefs file (it might be corrupt due to changes in each version).
It is located at ~/Library/Preferences/org.hwsensors.HWMonitor.plist
(just delete it)
removing that plist (found it in ~/Library/Preferences btw) doesn't change the issue ... very odd...
behaves the same on all my versions (el capitan, high sierra, mojave) - the old version shows fan speed properly in all those mac os versions.
Working just fine here. You will need to use the forums to upload PR files.
fixed with RehabMan/OS-X-FakeSMC-kozlek#27
