Nice and System cpu values are exchanged

I corrected the problem changing the line:
cpu: ['user', 'system', 'nice', 'iowait', 'other'],
to
cpu: ['user', 'nice', 'system', 'iowait', 'other'],

I am using Fedora 15 64

Thank you for this applet, very good
I hope it goes to official repository soon

It would be nice to have more than one thermal sensor displayed. I fumbled around a little to have at least textual display working. I didn't figure out how to draw the graphs though, and the column structure of the pop-up info page eludes me.

There's no GUI to specify multiple sensor sources. One needs to configure them manually in org.gnome.shell.extensions.system-monitor.thermal-sensor-file. I. e. I'm using:

Core0=/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/temp2_input:Core1=/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/temp3_input:CPU=/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/temp1_input:Case=/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/temp2_input

Only icons coming on the panel. No Numbers and %. in the shell gnome-shell 3.0.1, A Fedora 15 Machine. Other extensions working perfect. Everything perfect in the dropdown menu.

First of all: thanks dor this great extension!

I would like to show the temperature of the system, but unfortunatelly in the preferences I can only choose in the Thermal tab between /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input and between /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp. Both of those is 0 on my sysstem, but e.g. thermal_zone1 would be fine.

Is there any way to modify this value or extend this dropdown menu?

On computers equipped with multiple thermal sensors [mainboard, CPU, GPU] only some show up, and it's unclear what is what. (I am on a DELL XPS M1710, and there is no way I can track the temperature of the faulty NVIDIA card that tends to fry the rest of the MoBo - with the standard gnome 2 applet I can do that, as well as with Conky).

Other than the bug: really useful extension! Thank you!

what are the python packages i'm missing to open the configuration dialog ?
(the plugins it self is working)

I can't get it working with 3.2.1, the gnome-shell that comes with Ubuntu 11.10.

lg says it's disabled. If I change the 3.2.0 in metadata.json to 3.2.1 it seems to try to start it but fails with the error:

Failed to evaluate init function:Error: Argument 'str' (type utf8) may not be null

I'm probably being dumb :-(

I have this installed now on Fedora 15 on my laptop and it seems great, no problems, but I installed on my Ubuntu system at work and the desktop froze completely, even after a reboot the desktop would not draw. I had to uninstall from tty console before the system was usable.

Hello (Bonjour),

Because of a buggy device/driver/OS/both/choose (Ethernet device ar8131
with no cable plugged-in on a Lenovo Ideapd u160) the net part of your
gnome-shell extension was displaying "astronomic" values, even with no
real network traffic on other interfaces (wlan, etc.). I added a new
condition to only process network devices that are "up". This seems to be
functional on Fedora 15 x86_64 (I'm using it right now), and seems to
give more realistic values.

Cordially,

I had this working on Fedora 15, and I really appreciated it - it's a great addition to gnome 3. When I upgraded to Fedora 16 and did the same thing as I did to install it on Fedora 15, it didn't work (I followed the instructions in the readme, and I ran the install script, and tried a few other things). The extension apparently isn't recognized by the system, or something, because it doesn't even show up in gnome-tweak-tool.

I see other people have gotten this to work on Fedora 16, so I'm not sure what I did wrong. I installed the dependencies mentioned in ticket #69 and tried again, and that still didn't help.

First off thanks so much for this extension. I hope this issue has not been covered (I couldn't find something that worked in the other issues). I've just started using gnome shell and this was a feature I loved in gnome 2.x. I have mostly everything working but I am still struggling a bit with the system-monitor-applet-config.py (like many others it seems). I was able to get it to run yesterday somehow while playing around with different packages) but today I am getting the same "missing dependencies" message again. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 and have python-gobject-2, python3-gobject and gobject-introspection installed. Additionally the graphs in the applet are working great but when I click on the applet it brings up the drop down box and shows all the info but the cool circular graph doesn't show anything (just a fat grey semi-circle) and of course the preferences option doesn't work. Thanks so much again.

Shell Monitor Applet extension doesn't respect the CSS no matter what I do. This seems to be an issue for other users as well. Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/NKCIH.png

I'm using the latest version from GIT (as of today).

Love the applet, one issue that I'm having is that one the drop-down, thermal is showing at -273.15C

Checking the Thermal tab on the configuration panel shows that I do not have an available sensor.

Is it possible to just remove the Thermal from the drop down if no available sensor?

Someone reported some strange memory usage by gs and I must admit tonight gnome shell topped 1GB of ram.
I think there's a good chance it is caused by closures in timeouts.
I will investigate this when I have some time but any help will be very appreciated.

Awesome extension: just what I've been missing from gnome-shell.

One for the wishlist: I find the text updates too often: once every few seconds would be less distracting.

The following patch removes the system monitor applet from the gnome shell when disabling its extension.

Hi,

Right now in Archlinux if you install it using yaourt gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet-git with the python (ie python 3) package installed, the settings window does not work. ~/.xsession-errors shows:

File "/usr/bin/system-monitor-applet-config", line 35

                                                                                           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I think one way to fix it could be:

• Make it explicitly depend on python2 and python2-gobject instead of python-gobject in the PKGBUILD
• Change the shebang of the Python script to #!/usr/bin/env python2

Great extension by the way :)
Cheers

I prepared the Italian (Italy) translation for the applet. Please find the file here:

https://gist.github.com/1295028

(thought that rather than sending the e-mail opening an issue would allow other contributors to know the translation has been done and eventually to modify it if they spot mistakes / have better ideas)

I installed it following your instructions but after restarting gnome shell the monitor doesn't appear.

I can open the configurator with:
/usr/local/bin/system-monitor-applet-config

but I'm getting this message:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"

Is this why the monitor doesn't appear? How can I fix it?

Hi there,

I've disabled all indicators in the "top bar" (don't know the exact name) - the only icon visible is the gnome-shell-monitor-icon.
If I click on this icon, a popup with all indicators comes up but the indicators' values are not updated (they stick at the same value all the time and the colored graph (I think it's cpu and ram) does not move).
Now what I realized: If i set a - let's say cpu - indicator to be shown in the top bar this value is also updated in the popup window.
This works for all indicators and is totally reproducible.

Another issue but less important: In the popup, network speed values are cut off after three digits (e.g.: 324 ...) howevertThere is more than enough space to show the complete value.

I am using the latest git version - checked out five minutes ago.

Thank you ;)

and then I followed the install instructions. However, after an alt-f2: r, the applet disappeared from the top of the screen. It still isn't there after a reboot. I can launch the configurator, and it does remember my old settings.

I am using Fedora 15 64 bit. Please let me know if you need any more information to track this issue down. Thanks.

I get this error when trying to load this extension:

Extension is not compatible with current GNOME Shell and/or GJS version.

I have gnome-shell 3.0.2 (Archlinux).

I updated to Fedora 15 yesterday and tried your applet.
The first time I installed it and restarted gnome-shell, it didn't work at all.
When I tried the second time, the gnome-shell went wrong and I rebooted my computer.
Now I can't get into my desktop and it show

gnome-session: GLiB-GIO-ERROR:Setting schema 'org.gnome.SessionManager' is not installed

Even I deleted all the files creating during the installing, it is still the same.
Now I don't know how to fix this.

Can you please provide a source tarball with a version number? This would make it easier for packager to integrate your applet into their distribution. Working with git checkout is possible but more fault-prone for the packager ;-)

Thanks in advance

Under Arch Linux, newest Gnome Shell (3.0.1) the applet's stylesheet isn't applied, the status labels just appear without any formatting.

Hi,

New problem, using gnome-shell 3.2. Network traffic is shown when using wifi. If I restart the shell network traffic counts show up but the indicator for the connection is dimmed with a cross.

Regards

My laptop has 2 cpu cores and 4 threads. When both cores are running at 100%, the cpu graph displays 50% activity. I can tell this by looking at the Gnome System Monitor, which displays 2 maxed threads and 2 idle ones. Also, when only one core is 100% active, the graph displays about 25% activity.

It seems as if the cpu graph gets its value by averaging the activity of the 4 threads instead of the 2 cores. This could be rectified by averaging the 4 threads and multiplying by: 4 threads / 2 cores, or just adding the thread activity and dividing by the number of cores.

This is the content of /proc/stat :

I'm not sure how System Monitor knows that there are 2 cores and 4 threads. If you need me to check anything out, please let me know.

I always get the following error on Oneiric:
GLin-GIO-ERROR settings schema 'org.gnome.shell.extensions.system-monitor' does not contain a key named 'net-downerrors-color'

I tried the PPA and the GIT version. I copied the schema and ran glib-compile-schemas.

Possibly there is something left over from an earlier version?!

I'm running Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10.

I've installed gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet, but lg errors tab contain this exception:

extension is not compatible with current GNOME shell and/or GJS version

In Ubuntu Oneiric, the /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/GTop-2.0.typelib file is provided by gir1.2-gtop-2.0, which is not installed by default.

In the readme, it would help if you suggested Ubuntu users to:

apt-get install gir1.2-gtop-2.0

This might be related to #27

Thanks for an awesome utility! It makes Gnome3 almost bearable. :)

Could you do it?

"cpu" and net are "abbreviations", and they make sense, sparing some space... "memory" could be abbreviated as well, right?

Thanks,
André

(best extension for the shell out there, by the way!)

Hi again,

Trying to build package and spec files for Fedora 16 from master branch including translation files aborted because of wrong extension in it_IT and pt_PT po files (.pot in place of .po). Renaming this files to .po corrects building package error.

Note: in gnome-3.0 branch (for Fedora 15) no problem with extensions.

Hope this help.

Cordially,

Hi, I am using ubntu 11.10 with gnome-shell 3.2. I installed that from webup8 ppa, it didn't cause any error first. But their was an upgrade of the extension. After upgrading when I activated the extension with gnome tweak, everything was broken. The top bar was gone and everything was not functional. Then I logged out by pressing Ctrl+L and loggedin in unity. Then removing the extension gnome-shell was working again. Many of us faced the same issue. you can see it here. Hope that you'll fix the issue ASAP :)

Centering System Monitor Applet

Hello,

I've used this extension on Arch since a while and some time ago this extension when setted to middle lived very well with the clock, the clock and system monitor extension equally distributed itself in center.
But, now with an update that I don't know if is pertinent to Gnome or to this extension, one or other takes exactly the center and push the other to the side.

See in pictures what I'm talking about:

Here we have the system monitor in the middle without any graphs and texts:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/545144/SystemMonitorApplet/00_AppletMiddle.png

Here with graphs and texts:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/545144/SystemMonitorApplet/01_AppletMiddle.png

Then, with center option disabled:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/545144/SystemMonitorApplet/02_AppletMiddleDisabled.png

And, here is the way that it was before, with everything distributed:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/545144/SystemMonitorApplet/03_AppletMiddleOld.png

Have a way to (me) put this back how it was!?

Thanks,
Gabriel.

After a recent update, the CPU graph is no longer showing System CPU usage correctly - it shows as Nice CPU usage instead.

Hi,

I have been trying to get this to work for Fedora 15, however I am getting the following error:

error ... While loading extension from ... : Error: Requiring Gtop, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GTop' (any version) not found.

I am certain that I have something missing from my system and I did try to install all GTop available in the fedora Repos, however I will still available to resolve this..

Do you think you can give me some advice?

Thank!

Hi !

First, a big MERCI for this nice little thing !

I've been toying around to style it my way, and I've found that your extension logs an error whenever it finds no swap (swaptotal == 0). I believe this is to ensure it got things right before displaying them, but in the unlikely case where there's no swap partition, it will always be 0 (at least when the swap is empty).

The graph of the "cpu" only goes up the middle (vertically)
I use my machine to render animations and it works at 100% of CPU all the time.
When it gets 100% the graph of cpu only goes to the middle and let the upper middle just in black.
i changed this line to correct this problem:
cr.lineTo(width - (this.data[i].length - 1 - j), (1 - this.data[i][j] / max) * height);
to
cr.lineTo(width - (this.data[i].length - 1 - j), (1 - this.data[i][j] / 1) * height);

very useful applet
thank you

Hi,

are there any plans of adding temperature readings (of say lm-sensors) to this extension, including graphs and all that stuff?
There is gnome-shell-extension-cpu-temperature but it's not configurable at all and it has no nice graphs ;-)

Thanks in advance!

I install it in arch, (through the available PKGBUILD in aur, if you know what it is), and the extension does not show up. The gnome-tweak-tool shows the extension, but it is disabled, and cannot be enabled.

libgtop is installed

You still have to change the metadata file, of course, but I tried it and it didn't work. I don't have the time to see why, though.

Hi,

I am the package maintainer in FW.
I'm running gnome-3.2 and now I launch system-monitor-applet-config (console or applet), I have this error message.

system-monitor-applet-config

Thank you for your response.

Hi

I have been having increasing RAM usage issues when using gnome-shell. I have looked through all the bug reports at launchpad and also your postings at javascript-list gnome org.

I decided to disable all extensions and monitor RAM usage. RAM usage remains below 80 MB when gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet is disabled. Other extensions do not result in increased RAM usage.

Can you comment please?

Regards

Rayaz

I noticed that the graph showing the RAM usage was full, which I assumed meant that all my RAM was being used. However, clicking on the graph showed values of 34%, 1% and 12%. I would expect the visual graph to be half the available height, but instead it takes up the whole height.

your code ""if(ifc.indexOf("eth") >= 0 || ifc.indexOf("wlan") >= 0)""
your code don't parse this device name of ppp0 or another name differant like this 'eth,wlan'
thanks in advance

There is a possible problem in how you calculate the netspeed
If I take my /proc/net/dev for example

Inter-| Receive | Transmit
face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packets errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed
lo: 34766 511 0 0 0 0 0 0 34766 511 0 0 0 0 0 0

br0: 930504134 736397 0 0 0 0 0 0 85433180 694037 0 0 0 0 0 0

br0 is a bridge between eth0 and eth1
So the applet shows twice the real speed

My cpu usage graph is just sitting on 30% all the time with the latest version of your extension. This is regardless of what the actual systems cpu load is.

I am running gnome-shell 3.1.90
