Edits: I've decided to edit this post to list the unfixed and fixed issues mentioned in this issue: Fixed:

• computer model name for systems with devicetrees
• usb network adapters
• support for system services located at /lib/systemd/system
• disk mount when multiple mounts exist in a single partition
• support for python 3.6, hw.ids (instead of pci.ids) for support on older debian/ubuntu, gtk 3.22, util-linux 2.31
• graphs and other UI elements no longer freeze if tab experiences an error on loading
• gpu vendor/name for devices that use /sys/devices/gpu.0/modalias
• gpu tab missing memory/rendering/driver/opengl info for /sys/devices/gpu.# devices

current issues:

• cpu name is not the best for ARM cpus (now tracking in the https://github.com/hakandundar34coding/system-monitoring-center/tree/draft)

Original Post: bionic has gtk 3.22, no package for pci.ids, python3.6, and util-linux 2.31

all of these are problematic for the source of this repo or the debian control file.

lowing these requirements in the debian control file and rebuilding with version="3.24"/> replaced with version="3.22"/> almost everything works. /usr/share/misc/pci.ids is provided by pciutils in debian buster and bionic

the only things that don't work are the network and gpu tabs. the gpu tab is broken because I am testing this on a jetson tegra x1, with the nvidia drivers and it does not use /dev/dri so errors like this are output and the rest of the UI on the other tabs breaks:

networking breaks with this error:

note I'm using a perfectly functional usb network card. this folder exits /sys/class/net/enx0050b62942ef/device , there just isn't a vendor file in there

this is a sandisk card, decoding the ID should come back to that.

Raspberry Pi operating systems include a command called vcgencmd, which can obtain device-specific information that is not reflected in more global locations. While ideally a system monitor should be able to rely on standardized locations for parameters, that simply is not the case in the ARM world. (Maybe in 5 years...)

Link to vcgencmd documentation

Here are the specific ways in which System-Monitoring-Center can use vcgencmd:

• To determine total RAM on the device, regardless of CPU allocation: vcgencmd get_config total_mem Example output: total_mem=8192 (in megabytes)
• To determine memory allocated to the GPU: vcgencmd get_mem gpu Example output: gpu=128M (in megabytes)
• To determine GPU frequency: vcgencmd get_config gpu_freq Example output: gpu_freq=700 (in megahertz)

Also I found a possible way to determine L1/L2/L3 cache size, but it involves compiling a kernel module. :( This is probably more trouble than it's worth, but is still interesting to document.

It's better if loop devices don't show by default in Performance tab --> Disk

Loop devices /dev/loop* are usually squashfs or iso files (read only).

Thanks.

I installed the program via pip ... and unfortunately I have some errors, i.e. no graphics, icons in the program? Previously it was OK if I was installing from .deb However, I wanted to be able to do a simple upgrade ... can I somehow fix / install some packages ??? Ps.I restarted the system ... and the option did not help either touch ~/.local/share/*

Disk tab automatically selects the home partition, which results, at least with my SSD, in no metrics displayed. Metrics are displayed correctly upon selecting the DDS device e.g nvme0n1 instead of nvme0n1p6, which was selected by default. - Screenshot and debug message:

I would like to thank you for the wonderful piece of software you have created here. It is very polished and works amazingly well.

Now, onto what I found.

When trying to download from the AUR in Manjaro it kept chucking an error for python-tomli 2.0.1-1. This is down to the fact that the repository cannot be found to download the required package. I understand that this is an issue you have no control over so I am more then happy to chalk it up to a non issue.

When installing via pip instead it works perfectly fine on Manjaro. No bothers at all.

I have also made a video about this that will be published tomorrow. Again, thank you for the software and I hope you enjoy the video. Have a good day!

Based on the screenshots, it does show temperatures for nouveau drivers, but are you able to have it display it for Nvidia proprietary drivers too by any chance?

Hi,

I'm really enjoying using System Monitoring Center and I spend a lot of time in the "Processes" section...

It is real useful and well done. I only have a rather basic suggestion:

I would find it easier to read through during analytical runs, where a more extensive use of colourful icons and text colouring be implemented...

Finding things at a glance is a bit too monochromatic to make it easy to rapidly id abstractions in the process load...

Also the process Tree while really useful actually adds significantly to the monochromatic noise...

Also I'm rather grateful you update so regularly. It's a really good tool, very useful...

It would be nice to have a feature where it informs the user of an update when a new version is available, or else it will be hard to tell when a new version releases

I tried the v1.12.1 and v1.12.1-deb_for_stores tags with the same result.
