System Monitor
Hi,
some months ago I blogged about KDE3's system monitor applet ported
to plasma [1]. It provides a data engine and an applet. The data
engine is more or less just the code taken from KDE3, i.e. it supports
more than just e.g. /proc/cpuinfo depending on the OS. So I'd expect
it to work in KDE4 just as good.
Now there are two other projects:
1. There already is a system monitor data engine in plasma, which is
even included in KDE4.2 iirc.
2. http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=74891
Seems to be a rewrite from scratch, also based on e.g. /proc/cpuinfo
etc.
I'd like to finally see this simple applet be in playground to make it
into KDE 4.3.
The right way seems to be to use the system monitor data engine already
available in plasma, and then write the applet on top of it. So it would
be nice to combine the efforts.
The systemmonitor applet seems to provide everything we need:
Processors
- system/processors - processor count
- system/cores (not yet clear how that relates to processors ;))
- cpu/system/TotalLoad
- cpu/system/user
- cpu/system/nice
- cpu/system/wait
- cpu/cpu{%n}/* (for every cpu if processor count 1)
Memory
- mem/physical/free
- mem/physical/used
- mem/physical/cached
- mem/physical/buf
- mem/physical/application
Swap
- mem/swap/used
- mem/swap/free
So does it make sense to remove the data engines of [1] and [2] and try to
implement the applet by just using the above?
Thanks,
Dominik
PS: I don't want an applet that has a time-axis, ie I like the applet
for its simplicity. So no meters or too complex stuff. Just this
little tool, not more :)

To reply, visit: http://reviewboard.vidsolbach.de/r/297/#review287 --- Ship it! the patch looks ok. one question i have is whether or not this is 4.2 material; e.g. does it actually fix a bug or is this a feature enhacement? i think it's probably the latter? if so, this needs to wait for 4.3 to open up ... trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/containments/desktop/desktop.cpp http://reviewboard.vidsolbach.de/r/297/#comment238 indentation =) also, why is this whole block wrapped in a ifndef? should just the max size bit do that? hmm.. actually, even better it should be using corona()-screenSize(screen()) and not Kephal directly here. trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/containments/panel/panel.cpp http://reviewboard.vidsolbach.de/r/297/#comment239 hm. code duplication. that can't be good =) perhaps we should look at isolating all this code elsewhere ... i'm not sure *where* exactly yet, but in the shell is my first thought. not critical for this patch. trunk/KDE/kdelibs/plasma/corona.h http://reviewboard.vidsolbach.de/r/297/#comment240 freeScreenEdges(int screen)? perhaps a bit more readable that way? - Aaron On 2008-12-10 03:30:38, Alessandro Diaferia wrote: --- This is an automatically generated e-mail.

Re: multi-screen fixathon
OK, let's start with the most simple case.* Output: *See attached file 1. Plasma starts up with *activity A* on *left screen* and *activity B*on *right* (main) *screen*. 2. Zoom out on *left screen.* (Notice: the activities are shown as [B][A], and not [A][B] as one would expect.) 3. Chose *activity B* to zoom in on *left screen*. Now you have the same activity (*B*) on both screens. At this point the Plasma feels broken: changing activity on one screen doesn't work and and some cashews disappear when I try to add activities and zoom in/out. Do you want plasma output beyond this point too? 2008/12/10 Aaron J.

Yes, I will look into that. Giving higher timeouts for hangup and reset helps here. Those link messages have nothing to do with the modem. I get these messages even when things are not hung. I assume they have to do with elements in the svgz (specified by XML?) or related to scaling the svgs. There are also unrecognized texture messages.
