[Mageia-discuss] One-Wire Home Temperature Network with Linux

Sun Jul 15 15:13:51 CEST 2012

I've just started to play with a 1 wire temperature sensor, under Mageia 
+1.  I've been following a couple of blog on how to get things setup (1 & 
+2).
+
+I've installed the digitemp software (2) via urpmi and can actually see 
+the USB dongle (DS9490R) and my temp sensor (DS18B20).
+
+The problem being that when running the command digitemp_DS2490 -a -i 
+-q, it is supposed to write out it's configure file (.digitemprc) to the 
+profile directory, which for me running the command as root, should be 
+/root/.digitemprc, but it doesn't.
+
+Has anybody played around with temperature sensors under Mageia? If so, 
+were you able to get it to write out the file?
