Desktop freezes completelyon Ubuntu Natty with this extension installed about gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet HOT 9 CLOSED

1, is it froze or crash gnome-shell (what is the output of 'top') and have you see the other part of gnome-shell (i.e. is initialization finished?)

2, do you have /proc mounted? (Don't really think this is a problem)

3, what is your gnome-shell version

from gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet.

I have the same prob on ubuntu 10.04. I've got /proc mounted and it crashes gnome-shell after log in.

If you could tell me how to collect the logfile, I coud help in debugging.

I really like this extension. So plz help

from gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet.

unluckily there is no log file for the extension, we might add some debug command this weekend. if your(thePhill) problem is the extension 'crash' the gnome-shell and you cannot enter the shell at all, one possibility is that you haven't installed the schema. You can check by start the gnome-shell in a terminal (you should first disable the extension. This is how I get the output of gnome-shell, and there is an official way to do this.) and check if there is a Error (or Warning, cannot remember) saying cannot find a certain schema.
If this is the case, you need to make sure you have the same version of schema(the name of keys have changed a lot) and extension installed and then run sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ (forgive me if there are typos)
Please tell us if this can solve your problem.

Hello,

this is really really strange I moved the schema file "org.gnome.shell.extensions.system-monitor.gschema.xml" to the /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas folder, assured that it is present. I opened the xml file then with vi and found the background key, to be the last one in the schema. Following this I compiled the schemas with "sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/". The file "gschemas.compiled" has then the actual time and date.

Logging out and in again, starting the gnome-shell with "gnome-shell --replace" it tells me in the output, that the key "background" couldn't be found in the schema "org.gnome.shell.extensions.system-monitor". But I'm certain that I compiled the schema.

Ok I think I found the problem. For what reason so ever. Under Ubuntu the schema has to be installed to /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas and NOT to /usr/share/glib-2.0. I would be really helpful for the ubuntu folks out there, if you could modify your install script this way.

Should be really easy to identify the distribution and put it in there .... Still I don't get why ubuntu requieres this ....

I really appreciate your help and please keep on the good work.

@shartrec, did you have the same problem

@thePhil, does the new install script work

from gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet.

I will try this out on Tuesday, when I will be back in the office. Sorry I can't help out before then.

from gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet.

I just did a "git pull" to get the latest version and reinstalled the extension from scratch, putting the schema into /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas and all seems to be working sweetly.

glad to hear that
