GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 300644
CPU usage slot does not show anything
Last modified: 2005-04-18 09:26:48 UTC
Please describe the problem: The slot/window devoted to CPU usage does not work i.e nothing is shown and it remains black. Other stats (network, load, swap, RAM) are working fine. This problem did not occur on 2.8 and it seems it started failing since 2.9.x. Removing the applet and deleting its configuration file (~/.gnome2/procman IIRC) did not help. I'm running 2.10 built with GARNOME 2.10.0.1 on my RHEL WS3 box. Steps to reproduce: 1. Add the system monitor applet to your panel. By default, it shows the CPU usage slot/window. Actual results: Nothing is shown whatever the machine load is. Expected results: The CPU usage should be shown. Note that the system monitor works fine as it correctly shows the CPU usage if I open it using a right click on the applet. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:

Are you running Linux 2.4 ? I believe davyd has already fixed this issue.
Hello Benoit, Yes, I'm running 2.4. Uname gives : 2.4.21-27.0.1.EL. This is Redhat Entreprise Linux Workstation 3.
Looks like a dup of #170921. Either upgrade your kernel or gnome-applets :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 170921 ***
I have the same issue on vanilla kernel 2.4.30 and GNOME 2.10.0.
i meant a 2.6.x kernel.
Hello back, This is indeed a duplicate of #170921. I tried the proposed patch on gnome-applets-2.10.0 on and it works perfectly! Many thanks.
