Installed Arch Linux community/psensor 1.2.0-7.4
When I run psensor -n I get a long list of error messages:
[2020-10-24T07:26:29] [ERR] nvctrl: Failed to retrieve NVIDIA information.
[2020-10-24T07:26:29] [WARN] Failed to load configuration file /home/freddy/.psensor/psensor.cfg: No such file or directory
[2020-10-24T07:26:29] [ERR] Key file does not have group “lmsensor it8665-isa-0290 fan1”
and a long list of lines with Key file does not have group
Neither man psensor nor man psensor-server show how to create a psensor.cfg file, and man psensor.cfg gives nothing. The Psensor FAQ https://wpitchoune.net/psensor/faq.html has nothing about creating a psensor.cfg file.
Output from sensors is not usable as psensor.cfg. I ran sensors | tee ~/.psensor/psensor.cfg and then psensor -n . but that gave error messages

The FAQ says "The last version of this FAQ is available at https://gitlab.com/jeanfi/psensor/blob/master/doc/faq.txt" Does that mean that the FAQ is no longer maintained, or should it be The latest version ?
The FAQ link for Arch Linux is no longer correct, the package is now in the repository in the community category.

When I run Psensor it does not open the GUI, it just creates a log file ~/.psensor/log
AHA! WHOOPS!
I failed to notice two new icons in the system tray - clicking one opens the Psensor GUI, clicking the other shows a Psensor menu with the current sensor values and some choices.
So, my trouble with Psensor is actually that it does not behave as I expected and open a GUI, it just puts icons in the system tray and does not even show a message box or any notifications.
I have now configured the sensors and graph in the Psensor GUI, and exit created ~/.psensor/psensor.cfg as it said.
