Summary (more clear) ----------- What expected: Without any instance of vmware player running, 1,7gb RAM is shown as “used” under gnome-system-monitor. When opening multiple vmware players, the amount of RAM is shown under gnome-system-monitor changes. Eg. If two vmware players were running (2gb RAM each), then about 5gb RAM is shown as “used” under gnome-system-monitor. ----------- What happened: Without any instance of vmware player running, 1,7gb RAM is shown as “used” under gnome-system-monitor. When opening multiple vmware players, the amount of RAM is shown under gnome-system-monitor didn't change. Eg. If two vmware players were running (2gb RAM each), then about 1,9gb RAM is shown as “used” under gnome-system-monitor. ----------- Opinion: I suppose this is a bug. The reason: if amount of “must-have-been-used-RAM” was calculated (by me), and I ran this size of vmware-RAM, then my pc crashes. But gnome-system-monitor said that only 1,7Gb of RAM was used. Eg. PC's RAM: 8Gb each vmware player: 2Gb system: about 2Gb -----------RAM calculated by me So, 2 vmware players + system → RAM: full ….. Real result: system crashes! (reasonable result) -----------RAM calculated by gnome-system-monitor So, 2 vmware players + system → RAM: 1,9Gb ….. Real result: system crashes! (If only 1,9Gb of RAM is used, why system crashes?)

First I thought that was the way it is. Then I used windows and vmware player in them. I noticed that on 'task manager / processes' didn't indicate this amount, exactly as gnome-system-manager on ubuntu. Although, on 'task manager / performance' there was all of it! So, I expect to see the whole amount of RAM is used under 'gnome-system-monitor / resources' 4) [ I don't know how gnome-system-monitor calculates the amount of RAM. I add the amount of all processes (maybe stupid?) and the result was less. ] When the vmware player starts, the amount of used ram comes up a little. When the virtual os starts, the amount of ram doesn't change. (it changes from 1,9gb to 2,1gb) The virtual os (windows in this test) said that they were using 1gb. 5) I don't know what to hope: - hope that this is really a bug and I haven't spammed you - hope that windows task manager was wrong and actually windows uses 200mb of ram in virtual(!) The reason I posted that bug was that ubuntu freezes when opening three vmware players alongside. From the gnome-system-monitor side of view, it didn't make any sense to me (cpu low, ram low). From the task manager side of view.. I had exceeded the amount of my ram (cpu low), which make sense. I hope that helps. thank you :) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-monitor/+bug/1107491/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
