Multiload not displaying properly in Ubuntu 14.04 & GNOME Shell
Last modified: 2015-01-02 09:47:19 UTC
The indicator-multiload 0.4-0+87~44~11-ubuntu14.04.1 does not display properly in gnome-shell 3.10.4-0ubuntu5.2 in my Ubuntu 14.04 installation (gnome-applets 3.5.92-0ubuntu3). I have it configured to display three graphs: CPU, network, and disk. It only displays on graph window, which most of the time is black and occasionally will very briefly flash an update and then return to black. I have the gnome-shell-classic-systray PPA installed. The version of multiload in my Ubuntu 12.04 installation worked correctly (i.e. three graphs) prior to upgrading to 14.04.
Also using the TopIcons extension.

Aha. Well, good to know. :) Reopening though I don't expect anybody to ever work on this problem (except for maybe some gnome-flashback folks). Systrays never existed in GNOME either (but notification areas being abused for stuff...) Please also attach a screenshot if possible.
Created attachment 293346 [details] Snapshot of incorrectly rendered indicator-multiload.
Thanks for taking a look at this. Red outline in the attached snapshot shows the location of the indicator-multiload; clearly not three graphs. The one graph displayed was frozen before returning to all black. The ring sensor around the the Core Temp reading is the CPU load. If it matters, this is on an older, single core CPU with 3 GB RAM installed.
Bug is opened for gnome-applets, but you are saying that you are using GNOME Shell. If I am not wrong then GNOME Applets has never worked in GNOME Shell. Also I don't see how this could be GNOME Shell bug. It is on panel, it just does not work like it should. Post same screenshot to launchpad.net bug.
Thank you for the clarification. Though I have been a long-time user of GNOME and more recently GNOME Shell, I was unaware that gnome-applets are not supported by GNOME Shell, as I had switched to Screenlets prior to my starting to use GNOME Shell. I had (incorrectly) assumed gnome-applets multiload and indicator-multiload were related. I have made another post to the launchpad.net bug.
Closing as this bug has nothing to do with gnome-applets.
