Software :: Windowed System Monitor That Include Temps
Jun 16, 2010
I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Edition on my family's 4 netbooks. Sadly (and a big mistake in my opinion?), I can't add a temp monitoring applet to my panel, but that's not really the point. I am needing a way to monitor my computer temps that includes a graph (kinda like a CPU usage monitoring graph).
I really need this ability because I have another regular laptop that overheats at times and I would like to see the history without using a script to do it via text and logging.
I'm trying to monitor the temps of /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc in Conky (/dev/sda is an SSD so not necessary, or even possible). I have HDDtemp running as a daemon, and returning correct temps for both drives when run from konsole. Output:
I'm thinking of a web based app that will monitor temps and values fed in from a data acquisition device but am seeking advice on what to use to produce the web page would php be powerful enough? The app will also have to have access to a shell for scripting, I know thats a security risk but it will not be in an exposed env. The web page will have a series of lcd readouts displaying the aquired data refresh rates will probably be around 5 seconds along with control buttons to turn on and off values. Storing data in a mysql database for statistical reports would be needed eventually. Ubuntu 9.10 will be the os. Is python easily integrated into apache?
What is the difference between /usr/local/include and /usr/include? When I compile my program, is both /usr/local/include and /usr/include avaliable? Can I copy a file from /usr/local/include to /usr/include?
I just downloaded the SDL source code. i did compile and make of this code.then i did make install. but i didnt see the files of SDL.h and lib.SDL.*** in /usr/include/ but later i found out that these files are placed in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib. how can i specifically install libraries on /usr/include and /usr/lib
I am facing problem with the fresh installation of Fedora 11. (I have moved from Fedora 9). When I try to view videos on ..... or use the Cheese Webcam Booth, I get blurred lines on the screen and I am unable to see any video or pic.
Also I noticed that the when i go to System > Preferences>Display, it shows me UNKOWN MONIOR.
However, if I got to System>Administration>Display and enter the su password, it shows me correct monitor and the graphics driver.
I am not sure if my original is related to the Unknown Monitor.
I also tried to install Nvidia driver but it crashed the xserver and I had remove the driver.
My Monitor is LG 700E and Graphics card is from intel. as I am not able watch any video.
I have C++ source code(*.cpp) files that expects it's header files in System's include folder which is/usr/include.The cpp files has include lines like this:
I have persistent video tearing my second monitor (Mitsubushi HDTV). I have tried everything that was suggested with some improvement. I have no issue with tearing if I add the following to my xorg.conf
Is it possible to disable composite for one monitor only and keep it for the other. Or at lease is it possible to have compiz for one monitor only and disable it for the other.
I have been trying to add more sensors for hdd drives temperatures but i see only one and no place/options to add more.I know they all work,(i have 4 physical hdd) if i use the hhdtemp command (dev/sdXX) it show the temp for all of them (one at time). Any way to make gkrellm display all of them ? I,ve been googling around and searching on various forums but haven't found anything about that (other than how to make it work,or troubleshooting to make it work). I've tried conky ..but gives me more errors than info and i gave up.
Both Core0 and Core1's temperatures are shown twice with nearly identical temperatures and it looks like that the temps are switched around. Is there anyway I can fix this?
what I can use in Ubuntu for monitoring CPU core temps, CPU and memory speed and such, used CPU-Z, prime, HD tune up and and the like when OC'ing and UC'ing my Windows PC's but what Ubuntu equivalents are there?
I've been having issues where I am running out of video memory on my ATI Mobility Radeon 5470 (latest Catalyst), and I would like to be able to examine what is going on with it.How can I monitor my video memory like how I can monitor my CPU and RAM with top or system monitor?

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell Insp. 1545 2.16 GHZ 3GB RAM I have the following problem that I don't have on Vista. Problems:
1. Fan is running almost constantly 2. Cpu temps reaching 69C, stable at 54C 3. Temps spike especially with Java and npviewer.bin (in both FF/CHROME)
Ex. In system monitor, npviewer and Java take up about 90%, and while running, the CPUs are at 1. 80% 2. 90%. However, even when these processes are killed, basic activity (FF, file browsing etc) cpu% stay near 50/70, and fan stays on. Question: any suggestions? I heard restricted drivers could cause this problem. Any thoughts?
Does anyone know if it's possible to grab the temperatures from an ATI card using the open source radeon driver (not fglrx/catalyst).
I must say that the radeon driver has come a long way and works wonderfully under Lucid for my needs. I'm just a bit worried about the lack of PM support and how high my temps might be. I would prefer some way to keep an eye on things
Happens on Jessie AMD64 with mate, I can't go to a tty to kill mate system monitor, mouse stop working, keyboard stop working. I tried changing the theme, and now it freeze opening mate system monitor.
In System Monitor, on the File Systems tab, the "Total", "Available" and "Used" columns don't seem to add up, and the "Used" percentage doesn't seem correct either.
My config: /dev/sda1 = 80 GB SSD drive, / partition. /dev/sdb1 = 50 GB FAT32 partition of an external 500 GB USB hard disk. /dev/sdb2 = remainder of the 500 GB USB hard disk encrypted using luks.
Screenshot: The /dev/sda1 figures don't really add up well, but they're close at least (how you get "50% Used" from any of those figures I don't know!).
However, for /dev/sdb2, they're miles off: "Free" = 146.2 GiB "Total" = 409.7 GiB "Available" = 125.4 GiB "Used" = 263.5 GiB
I'm using gmake (v3.81) to build some c executables. As the first step in the process I run the files through a preprocessor (for embedded SQL). The preprocessor completes successfully, but the gmake reports an error and discontinues buiding the remaining dependencies...
make *** [myfile.c] Error 4
which (according to /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h) means "interrupted System Call". My preprocessor doesn't raise any signals, so I'm not sure what's causing this error.
GNOME system monitor is constantly freezing and not responding when i click on first tab 'System' Do somebody knows some workarounds for this issue? It's the same on freshly installed system and also on updated GNOME 2.28 from stable repository.Sometimes on second or third atempt it is working, but i cannot accept such an level of unstability and bugs, discovered on daily basis of testing openSUSE 11.2. There are much more very basic issues in this release which are normal for beta stage, but not for almost 3 moths old system...
quite often my computer will slow down, and all the cpu indicators will show 100%. However, when I open System Monitor to see what is using all the CPU, it doesn't show anything much at all. I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean. CPU is running at 91% load, however, I make the total 35% in system monitor.
I am having a slight issue with my netbook (toshiba nb305) Just fully switched to Ubuntu 10.10 from Windows 7 starter so still a little new. I first installed the 32 bit version and everything was all sorts of peachy. But while reading some documentation on my model I ran across a cryptic line that hinted at my cpu being 64 bit. Did a little research on these forums and ran a command in terminal (honestly cant remember it) that listed the specs on my hardware. Sure enough my "width" was listed as 64 bit.
Well just to give it a shot I Downloaded the 64 bit version of 10.10 and Installed it on another partition. Up and running checked over everything. Appears to be normal. But on a whim I went into the System Monitor and noticed not one cpu but 2? Confirmed same situation on 32 bit. Processor 0: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N455 @ 1.66 GHz Processor 1: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N455 @ 1.66 GHz
Ok I was a tad bit confused so I was about to do a lil research on it. But then I noticed on the Resources tab that under 64 bit my CPU History graph showed both processors Pegged at 100% With nothing running except for the basics. Under the 32 bit it was reliantly low? I checked the Processes tab in both to confirm there wasnt a unusual process out there jamming up cpu usage but the highest cup listed was the gnome-system-monitor at like 40 est %. Nothing showing up using the CPU that vigorously.
I am new to Debian and Linux all together. At work, we have dual even triple minitors at our stations. I have not seen this on linux until I went to a co-workers house. I wanted to do the same and I have two monitors. I asked how but he uses X on Gentoo.How can I go about learning how to do this? I can tell you now, I DO NOT know how to get the monitor information on the system. I DO NOT know where to find the configuration files for my monitor.
I know I am going to need drivers and stuff. What I asking I guess is where I should start in order to get this going. I am running Debian (lenny) 4 GIGS ram, 1.5TB HDD and a Dual core processor. I know the video card I have is a dual head video card for two monitors. I would like to thank everyone in advanced for their and hopefully I can learn something new and be able to do this on my own in the future.
I recently installed FC14 on my system as I was previously on FC8. Everything seems to be working fine, but I ran into an issue today where I wanted to kill firefox. I checked in gnome system monitor and I did not see a running process for firefox or firefox-bin. I also ran a "ps -e" command from a terminal as root and did not see it there either. I don't know if this is a fedora issue or a firefox issue, so I am posting it here first.
And just to vent on something that IS a firefox issue. I have the new firefox 4 running and when I click the X in the top corner, it doesn't give me the option to save my current tabs and exit like the previous versions did. That was a feature I liked.
I`m running openSUSE 11.2, with GNOME 2.28 - made a fresh install.
Everything went smooth and nice, and I did not made any changes to my system, when I saw that GNOME System Monitor freezes when clicking on the "System" tab.
Im running 11.2-64 with the stock KDE (3.5) included with the distro. Recently I messed about attempting an update of Amarok and phonon to get the graphic EQ back for music playback. The "messing about" was not with the one click install offered on the KDE website for 4.4.2.....and interestingly the messing about was the day before they "released" 4.4.2-- with the result that I ended up. trashing" the system and having to reload (didnt loose /home tho another reason why I love SUSe....)anyway I ve been looking around and have seen problems mentioned on the KDE forum with multi monitors in their 4.x desktop environment....it is tempting to "just push the button" on the 4.4.2 install and see what happens but Im not sure I want to spend another few hours here repairing things where I have my workspace back.
This machine is used in my home office, a core quad with 2 GB of RAM, Intel motherboard and a pair of NVidia GT 8500 PCIe cards running 3 monitors..... am curious if anyone is using 4.4.2 in a multi monitor environment, how the upgrade went and any problems with X server with the new environment?
