sensors-applet fail to display hd temp after kernel upgrade

[reloweb]

After Kernel upgrade, sensors-applet doesn't display the hd temp. To fix the problem I have to remove and after reinstall hddtemp package... :mad:

[endotherm]

try rerunning
sudo sensors-detect. it loads some kernel modules that are required for sensor access and potentially hddtemp as well. see if it works for ya

[reloweb]

No, I've just tried it but it doesn't work... The only solution is reinstall hddtemp everytime I upgrade kernel.

[endotherm]

that sucks. did you enter 'yes' on the last question in the dialog? it defaults to 'no', so I've missed it a few times.

[reloweb]

Yes on the bottom of my /etc/modules there are this lines:

# Chip drivers
coretemp
it87

Moreover if I do sudo hddtemp /dev/sda it outputs me the right temp!

sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: ST31500341AS: 56°C

I just had the same problem.
Running

sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp
fixed it for me.
I just answer yes to all the questions.
