Ubuntu :: Add System Monitor In The Top Bar?
May 4, 2011In Ubuntu 10.10 I used to have the System monitor applet in the topbar (near wireless, audio, empathy etc icons). Now I can't find a way to do it.

Ubuntu :: Disable Compiz On One Monitor In A Two Monitor System
Feb 23, 2010I 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
Quote:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Incorrect File System Space Reported By System Monitor?
Apr 3, 2011In 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

Apr 22, 2010quite 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.

Jan 6, 2011I 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.
Ubuntu :: Black Lines - Cannot See System Monitor

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Dual Monitor - Now System Won't Start Up
Feb 9, 2010I think I have caused a big problem with my laptop running Ubuntu 9.04, and I now can't get it to load up properly at all. It was when I was trying to change the screen resolution of my external monitor.
I'll try to recall exactly what I did...
I connected the external monitor and then turned the laptop on. The laptop worked fine, and the external monitor worked fine. The only problem was that the resolution on the external monitor was poor (it was the same resolution as on the laptop screen).
I went to system>preferences>Display
I removed the tick from mirror screens
Then I selected the external monitor and changed its resolution to the maximum setting. At this point a message popped up, but now I can't remember exactly what it said - I just clicked OK.
Both screens went all black, and I couldn't undo whatever I'd done.
I've now tried switching the computer off again and on again. If the external monitor is NOT connected when I switch the computer on then the laptop doesn't load up - I get the little Ubuntu symbol to start with, but then the screen just goes black.
If the external monitor IS connected then it takes me to the screen where I get to choose which OS to boot. If I boot normally then I see the ubuntu symbol and then it goes black. If I choose recovery mode then it does some recovery and then it takes me to a command line. So I can see all of my files.
Sometimes it does something different when I switch it on and an error message appears on the laptop screen. But the screen is so fuzzy that I can't see what it says. I click on OK (I guess it says OK...) and it takes me to another error message - but I can't seem to get any further.
So that's the problem. If anyone can help me I will be very grateful. I'm actually not that intested in getting the external monitor to work - it's much more important that I undo whatever change I've made so that the laptop works properly again.
I think the important thing is that I can get to the command line, so I should be able to make any necessary change there.

May 1, 2010Transmission seems to cause a kernel panic when I try to use it. Using system monitor to watch cpu usage, as soon as I fire up transmission, the cpu usage spikes to 99 and 100 percent and the transmission window grays out. I set firestarter to allow bit torrent usage, I was wondering if there was something else I needed to do or if transmission was broken. I am running an Athalon 3200 on an MSI motherboard with 2 gigs of ram.

Aug 29, 2010I was getting low disk space notifications so I used LVM to increase Ubuntu's volume from 10GB to 50GB.

Do I need to update something to get them to see the new size?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: CPU Usage In System Monitor - Not Hardware
Nov 2, 2010I had been running Folding@Home as a distinct process when I was running Windows - I'd manually start and stop it. (This was intentional.) I just installed it on my Ubuntu 10.04 install, and it's running just fine.
The only thing that's strange is that while top and the System Monitor report the CPU usage correctly, the Hardware Monitor applet (1.4.2) isn't reporting the usage at all.
As I said, it's an annoyance, nothing more - the applet reports other CPU usage accurately, and Folding@Home runs smoothly and perfectly.
Gnome's Hardware Monitor applet (1.4.2), the one with "curves" and "flames", apparently displays both "user" and "system" processes. Processes marked "nice" (that is, only running when the machine is idle) do not appear as CPU usage. They do appear as CPU usage in the System Monitor applet.

Ubuntu :: Unused Program In The System Monitor?
Feb 11, 2011I wondering does the evolution-alarm-notify and evolution-data-server-1.4 would remove from the system monitor or just leave them alone. I didn't want to touch them that would cause system diseaster, can you please confirm for both if say yes to remove that will be good safe.. I am running older version of Ubuntu 5.10 on my lappy.
My firefox browser takes too much memory that runs very slowest and I need to cut down the both program list above or what I need to remove some other program in the system monitor.

Ubuntu :: System Monitor Not Correlating With Memory Usage?
Feb 1, 2010in this example, my memory 993.4 MiB memory is said to have 575.9 MiB of it used and 163.4MiB of my 2.8 GiB swap memory used. but in my processes tab, the most memory hogging program is 98.3 MiB, and Pidgin, 25.9 MiB, and 18.9 MiB, 14.9, 6.2,6.1,5.2,3.4,3.3,1.8,1.8,1.7, etc. I'm certain these don't add up to 575.9 MiB so where is all this extra memory usage coming from?
also, why is data measured in MiB?
Ubuntu :: Radeon / System Monitor Visual Glitch?
Feb 13, 2010While pretty, in a plaid way, my System Monitor screen is less than helpful. This started after I upgraded to 9.10 and applied more recent updates. From what I've read, the glitch is Radeon based. I have a Radeon 7000 card which itself has 32mb of ram, but I told my computer a couple years ago to think it had 128. I've tried the suggested short term fix in the linked thread (change the driver in /etc/X11/xorg.con to "vesa") but it didn't work.
I have two related requests: What can I try to solve the System Monitor glitch? How do I reset my settings back to knowing my video card's real capacity?

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Stop Gnome-system-monitor?
Sep 26, 2010since a few days (maybe one week and after an automatic upgrade), I could see a strange behavior of gnome-system-monitor. After a boot, everything is normal. But if I log-out, and then log-in again, the problem begins. Impossible to close the gnome-system-monitor window (by clicking on the window upper-right close button). I have to terminate the process. And this process takes about 50% of CPU. In the same time, a dbus-deamon process takes the other 50%. When I terminate gnome-system-monitor process, the CPU use drops down to 6%.

When I connect my lcd monitor to the vga port the system lags. If I listen to music and browse web pages at the same time, the sound skip and when the page stop loading, music is ok. Also, the mouse skip. If I do circle with it on the desktop without doing anything else, it will skip.
The strange thing if I remove the external monitor and reboot the system everything comes back to normal.
I had Intrepid Ibex for 2 years without any problems. I remember a post saying that powernowd should be disable, but can't find the process from the startup list anymore.
