Description Tushar Joshi 2009-06-03 06:26:24 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.85)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I am running OPENSUSE 11.1 & KDE4.3 (just updated to 4.2.88svn973768-267.1)

For the past few weeks i see following lines in /var/log/messages.

Jun  2 21:08:02 LinuxDskTp ksysguardd[5272]: cannot open config file '/usr/etc/ksysguarddrc'
Jun  2 21:08:04 LinuxDskTp ksysguardd[5272]: Request for unknown device property 'totalio'
Jun  2 21:08:04 LinuxDskTp ksysguardd[5272]: Request for unknown device property 'totalio'
Jun  2 21:08:04 LinuxDskTp ksysguardd[5272]: Request for unknown device property 'totalio'
Jun  2 21:08:04 LinuxDskTp ksysguardd[5272]: Request for unknown device property 'totalio'

The message about file '/usr/etc/ksysguarddrc' shows up only once at time of logon process.
The messages about "unknown device property 'totalio'" shows up in bursts of 25/30 lines, once after logon and then randomly thru out the session.

i have recently installed and configured lm sensors.
Comment 1 Tobias Koenig 2009-06-03 11:03:29 UTC 
Hej,

hmm, looks like the packages you are using are build wrong.
The file ksysguarddrc should be located under /etc/ not /usr/etc.
Is there a file under /etc/ ? If yes, just create a symlink

  mkdir /usr/etc
  ln -s /etc/ksysguarddrc /usr/etc/ksysguarddrc

and ksysguardd should work properly again.

Ciao,
Tobias
Comment 2 Tushar Joshi 2009-06-04 02:50:32 UTC 
Thanks Tobais,

creating the symlink as you suggested fixed the message on opening ksysguarddrc.
but, i am still seeing messages on unknown devices.

cheers
Tushar

The problem is that it's finding an old version of ksysguardd.  The ksysguardd in the path is not of the version as the ksysguard program running.

I'm running openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 2 and experience this burst of messages  about "unknown device property 'totalio'" when doing a CIFS mount on a NAS device.
