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

[Doug Lytle]

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?
