    hddtemp daemon not running

    Karmic 9.10 64bit. I installed all required tools: hddtemp, lm sensors, gnome Sensors Applet for temp monitoring.

    hddtemp works:

    ~$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
    /dev/sda: SAMSUNG HE103UJ: 32°C

    but when I start Sensors Applet the hddtemp sensors is not available there (I have nvidia and cpu/mb detected).

    I guess it's because no hddtemp daemon is running. How can I make it work and start automatically?

    It used to work out of the box on my previous build. But after I reinstalled everything (OS) from scratch it's different now (but hardware is exactly the same).

    I'd like to avoid going to /etc/init.d if possible.

    Thanks.

    Solution:
