Gnome System Monitor replacement

[Coastie]

How about replacing the Gnome System monitor with the Mate System Monitor? It is a fork of the Gnome System Monitor and as far as I can tell it is the same except it still has a System tab.



Of course, the Mate image would have to be replace with a Linux Lite image and fixed so it would show Linux Lite instead of Ubuntu. (Linux Lite 2.4 is on computer not Ubuntu 14.04.0 Color is from my theme BleuFear.

Gnome System Monitor is only there because it's a dependency, and as such is deliberately removed from being shown in the Menu. The XFCE Task Manager is what we offer as a tool for these things.

After running for approx 10 hours at 1 second update interval, and while displaying the disk usage tab, mate-system-monitor can use over 3GB of memory. Reproducible with git HEAD at time of writing this bug report.

Did a little research on something that may harm your install of Linux-Lite.
That bug report is from Sept 2014 and has not been fixed/confirmed yet.
I am not saying you will shoot your eye out or being a hall monitor.

Just info in case you did not know.

I personally like the Gnome System Monitor. Adding it back to the menu and removing the default monitor is one of the first things I do on a fresh install.

I guess I was a sucker for a pretty face again.  I do not even use the other functions of either System Monitor or the XFCE Task Manager.

I really don't find the bult in monitors usefull. I think top series and glances are the way to go to find out what is going on with you system.

It's certainly 'pretty' but it's also heavy needing twice the ram to run as Task Manager, spot the irony

Didn't know this and do not understand it. I think I will just uninstall it.

Hello!

Looks like this is a low priority for the MATE development team. Seems like they just don't listen to the end users, as if they were in their own little world there.

I posted a link to our Bluetooth fix with their community. They asked me to post it there, but they wouldn't give me the access level it required to do so, nor any explanation as to why not.

It's very hard to contribute without access. Haven't been back there since. My experience with the MATE community and my experience here are like night and day...

Interesting. For the record, I have no plans to change distros just playing with Ubuntu Mate on my test computer.
