Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 2.96 OS: Linux Currently, placing the mouse over the various charts in the System Load view will pop up these messages: localhost:cpu/nice localhost:cpu/sys localhost:cpu/user It will be more useful to display the popup message that has the actual resource usage numbers in them, like this: localhost:cpu/nice: 15 localhost:cpu/sys: 5 localhost:cpu/user: 40 same for the memory displays.
"Digital" labels on the graphs would be something nice to add too, but I like your tooltip idea.
From Frédéric Motte on bug 60540: Color of data tracked will be another nice information to have.
*** Bug 60540 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Greg, I've added the color already to KDE4. Showing the values.. the trouble is i can show the value but it won't update _while the tooltip is being shown_. You can't modify the tooltip in real time.
as for not updating in real time while the tooltip is being displayed... does it HAVE to be a tooltip? won't KDE 4 allow for more stuff and eye candy? Not just for beauty, but a better way to convey information. Look at our pager. instead of a tooltip it does this baloon with icons and information about runnin programs on that desktop etc. I like to use a small kicker, but i'd like to see, when I hover my mouse over the ksysguard cpu meter, for instance (could be anything else), pops me a baloon not unlike the pager one (minus the animation maybe?), with a BIG version of the graph itself (say 64x64) and the textual information at the right, updated in real time.
Okay from revision 610259 it now shows the values in the tooltip. Tiago, I really like your idea. Could you file it as another wish please as it's separate.
Situation: My fan goes off cause the CPU load shoots up to 100% Reaction: First look at KSysGuard-Applet in the controllbar Frustration: It does not show me the culprit It just takes too long to open up the processtable, deactivate the treeview, sort for CPU-Usage, pic the process, activate the treeview again, sort alphabetically and sroll to monitor it. Anyway, how do I sort for the total CPU usage and not the partial user usage? KSysGuard itself becomes slow, because the other process is going wild. And second until you see it on the screen, the show is all over and the process gone or sleeping. What I'd really love to have is a quick display of the top consumer and maybe offer some way to send it a KILL. And if you really want to see me drooling: Add a history, so that I can hover my mouse over the graph and see the culprit, who caused that peek CPU-Usage. In other words: Have a look at Process Explorer, that does a pretty good job in the M$ Windows world: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspx
Holger, please file a separate bug report. Showing the 'culprit' a good idea, but it should be a separate wishlist item. Re: Ksysguard's speed The kde4 version is very fast. It should be able to respond under any load. Re: Total CPU usage The kde4 version shows total CPU usage by default now.
@Greg My request is now at Bug 143348 I wasn't complaining about KSysGuards normal speed. This is about the abnormal situation of another process eating up 99% CPU. Looking forward for openSUSE to release an update to KDE4 :-)
commit fae4a67a16b9907708c940c1ea72ec1a0eaf7bb9 Author: Colin Guthrie <cguthrie@mandriva.org> Date: Wed May 12 10:03:59 2010 +0100 pulse: Some signal emission protection and some debug tweaks. This commit ensures that the objectDescriptionChanged signal is only emitted when PA is active. If we try to connect, succeed, but the backend ultimately cannot support PA, we fail. At present the GST backend operates a 'hit and hope' policy with regards to the pulsesink. This needs to be tightened up. Also added is extra debug info when the support is enabled and a new debug method which is not called anywhere but can be useful when debugging code.

commit 70babff2d8f27828c5912a879538d04a756fc86c Author: Colin Guthrie <cguthrie@mandriva.org> Date: Wed May 12 10:43:23 2010 +0100 gstreamer: Rejig the PulseAudio detection and handling a little. Attempt to make the PulseAudio initialisation in GStreamer a bit more robust. Validate the initial sink usage if it comes from either env var or settings against the known status of PA (is it running or not) and only ever try a 'pulsesink' if it is running, with 'auto' favouring 'pulsesink' when PA is running. When trying to open the device fails when PA is running we change back to 'auto' and try again. This handles the case when the GStreamer 'pulsesink' is not available (which is hard as it's a -good plugin these days).

Dammit. Totally incorrect bug reference. Sorry about that :(
