I have made a new installation of Fedora 40 XFCE on my workstation (I was with F34).
I had "sensors-plugin" in the panel, configured to display disks and cpu temperatures, voltage and fan rpm.
During the first (+-10) boots everything was working fine, but suddenly the plugin has stopped displaying the second disk temperature. I was reconfiguring it every boot, but after reboot it was the same - plugin forgot about the second disk (a bit like https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=11396).
I made a mistake (I guess) by launching the "chmod u+s /usr/bin/hddtemp" command, as a result, I have lost the disks section in the plugin and "Hddtemp Information" notifications appeared (https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=7032 ).
I uninstalled hddtemp, sensors-plugin and lm-sensors and reinstalled them again, with no result...
I have removed the sensors-plugin and deleted the panel where it was, but the notifications are still there.
In ~/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-sensors-plugin-XX.rc there is "Suppress_Hddtemp_Message=true", which in theory stops the notifications, but I have uninstalled the plugin and I don't have this file...
If I launch "sensors" as root, everything is fine and there is disk temperature.
Any idea how to fix it (both, notifications and the lack of disks in the plugin)?
In fedora /user/bin/hddtemp is just a shortcut, not an executable, can this have anything to do with it?

What does the following return:
file /usr/bin/hddtemp
stat /usr/bin/hddtemp
...it should be a compiled file.

"ls -l" results "lrwxrwxrwx", "l" stands for link.
I will send you the return in a moment...

Ahhh. Fedora uses consolehelper. The actual file in /usr/sbin and the configuration for it in /etc/security/console.apps. It basically bypasses the need to enter an elevated password to run the command
What happens of you run the command on a terminal directly:
hddtemp /dev/XXX
...where XXX is your drive designation?
I made a mistake (I guess) by launching the "chmod u+s /usr/bin/hddtemp" command, as a result, I have lost the disks section in the plugin and "Hddtemp Information" notifications appeared
That shouldn't have a negative effect (though you could reverse it with "chmod u+s /usr/bin/hddtemp"). Something else must be the issue. Lets see what the above command returns.
Also, what does the following return:
ls -l ~/.config/xfce4/panel
...and:
cat ~/.config/xfce4/panel/*sensors*

Hddtemp works fine in the console, no problem here, as I have written xfce-sensors too (but only as root).

Looks like you've removed you sensor plugin from the panel. Can you re-add and post back the contents of it's .rc file?

There is something wrong with your consolehelper set up - it should run without asking for a password. You might want to ask in the fedora forums as to why? I have no experience with consolehelper.

I also reverted "chmod" of "hddtemp", no result.
To test, on another laptop I made a new installation of F40, same as workstation. here sensors-plugin works fine (there are disks - Chip5), there are no hddtemp notifications. Here is .rc content:
