Hi Guys,

It has been a month I have been fighting with installing the package
"lmsensors" and had no success till today.... I would really appreciate
much help....

The background goes like this..

*bitbake lmsensors * works perfectly but when I add the package into the
rootfs I get the following error

* Package lmsensors-config is not available, but is referred to by another
package.*
*| This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or*
*| is only available from another source*
*| *
*| Package lmsensors is not available, but is referred to by another

*| *
*| E: Package 'lmsensors-config' has no installation candidate*
*| E: Package 'lmsensors' has no installation candidate*
*| ERROR: Function failed: do_rootfs (see

for further information)*
*ERROR: Task 7 (/home/damarla/yocto/poky/meta/recipes-graphics/images/

I would really need help in this issue as this ends my basic play with
creating a image for NVIDIA tegra board

Greets,

Presumably it's your image recipe that is referring to "lmsensors" and
"lmsensors-config".  This is saying that those packages don't exist.
Have a look in the work directory for lmsensors
(tmp/work/[machine]/lmsensors/[version]/deploy-*) and you'll see the
list of packages that have been built.

Looking at the output of building the current lmsensors recipe in meta-oe 
master, the main "lmsensors" package is actually empty and thus is not 
produced; this is a bit annoying and should probably be fixed. However what I 
think you're supposed to do is instead install the components of lmsensors 
that you actually need. If you look at packages-split in the lmsensors work 
directory (or the lmsensors* packages in tmp/deploy/ipk) you'll see it 
produces the following, ignoring dbg/dev/doc/staticdev packages:

lmsensors-fancontrol
lmsensors-libsensors
lmsensors-pwmconfig
lmsensors-sensord
lmsensors-sensors
lmsensors-sensorsconfconvert
lmsensors-sensorsdetect

So I would suggest adding those of the above list that you need to your image 
instead of "lmsensors".

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

When I first wrote the lmsensors recipe I noticed that lmsensors is
actually a collection of tools which serve very different purposes. For
example, the sensorsdetect and pwmconfig tools are only needed to
produce configuration files for libsensors and fancontrol (resp.). Once
the system is configured, they can be removed.

I followed the idea from the original lmsensors recipe from oe.

What should the recipe actually install when bitbaking only the "main"
package? The main lmsensors library? Everything? 

Regards,

Marc

Fair enough.

That's a good question (assuming you mean installing the main package as 
opposed to bitbaking the main package). With some other recipes e.g. Qt, we 
have made it so the main package pulls in all of the sub-packages. We could do 
the same thing for lmsensors, the question is if it makes sense? Whatever we 
do I think we do need to solve the problem that the lmsensors package is 
ostensibly still provided by the recipe and yet it can't be installed and 
leads to a failure later on, and the solution to the failure is not obvious to 
new users.

This might be something to RFC on the openembedded-devel mailing list.

Cheers,
Paul
