Order of sensors is not saved in GSettings about mate-sensors-applet HOT 9 CLOSED

MATE 1.6 uses GSettings. Do you mean GSettings?

from mate-sensors-applet.

I know mate 1.6 uses GSettings.

Here some steps to reproduce the issue:

• install the mate-sensors-applet (1.6.0-1) package from the mate repository (repo.mate-desktop.org)
• add the appled to the (top) panel
• open the applet's preferences window
• go to the 'sensors' tab
• enable some sensors to be displayed
• change the default order they are displayed
• close the applet's preferences window
• exit session (or reboot)
  When start a new session the sensor's order are back to the default order (order preferences are lost). Other preferences/settings are kept.

@al3xu5 ok, changed the title of the issue accordingly

I can add to this that running killall mate-panel (panel restart) also sets sensors order to the default one. Not sure if it's the same issue though.

sensors-applet added GSettings now as well but not like it was done in MATE so was not trivial to quickly adapt. My suggestion is to sync with their code here

I'm having the exact same issue in MATE 1.10 as well : sensor's order is lost at every reboot, it always reverts to hdd/video card/cpu sensors (left to right) .
It happens with MATE 1.8 as well in the exact same way, but it didn't happen (in my case) with MATE 1.6 and earlier.

I also have a problem with reported hdd temperatures varying randomly, no matter which corrections I try the values will again be off at every reboot, this has been happening in 1.6 too: should I open a separate issue for this?

Yes, it's a separate issue related to hdd backend.

I've installed MATE 1.8

mate-desktop1.8.1+dfsg1-1~bpo70+1 mate-desktop-environment 1.8.0+7~bpo70+1

in Debian 7 trough Debian backports and oddly enough this issue doesn't happen: I have cpu and hdd sensors all in the right place and hdd temperatures are correct.

This is the first time for me since MATE 1.6 that I'm not seeing this issue (on the same hardware), I have no clue about to why it is working.

EDIT: I spoke too soon, on restart sensors order is reverted again (hdd-cpu left to right) but hdd temperatures are still correct.

Please merge this issue to #46 and close it.
See my comments there.
I may be able to figure it out.
