Description Marc Perkel 2011-01-05 15:10:53 UTC
When running Xosview 1.83 remotely over an SSH connection (Both DSL and Cable) the display for the CPU meters is glitchy. Instead of scrolling smoothly from right to left the CPU meters reset often clearing themselves to blank and then starting over. Seems to happen about once a minute.

This problem does not happen with Xosview 1.80 and it doesn't happen when Xosview is run locally. It only happens running remotely and with 1.83. 

My guess is that it is related to the connection speed and that the client window isn't receiving data as fast as it expects or that perhaps data is dropping and it resets because it doesn't know what to do. But something is causing the CPU meters to clear and reset and I'm hoping it's something tunable.

Thanks for your report.

Hm, sound similar to this:

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478587

I am afraid I don't have any quick fix.

Comment 2 Terje Røsten 2011-01-06 19:26:54 UTC
Ooops, did see the report was identical. Sorry about that.

Comment 3 Marc Perkel 2011-01-06 19:40:09 UTC
It is the same problem. However it currently isn't quite as bad as it once was. Seems like it happens less often or perhaps in a less annoying way.

Comment 4 Marc Perkel 2011-01-06 19:41:44 UTC
For whatever it's worth the 1.80 version with Fedora 8 and earlier never had this problem.

Comment 5 Terje Røsten 2011-01-17 21:57:23 UTC
1.80? 

1.81 was released 2003-10-20, that is > 7 years ago in the Red Hat 9 or Fedora Core 1 era. 

Can you remember the last "good" release?

Comment 6 Marc Perkel 2011-01-17 22:52:17 UTC
My mistake. 1.82 is what I'm running.

Comment 10 Marc Perkel 2012-02-19 17:00:10 UTC
How about making one for fedora 14?

Thanks in advance.

Comment 11 Terje Røsten 2012-02-19 17:05:29 UTC
Fedora 14 is EOL[1] and the publish system don't allow my to build for that release.

I don't have private Fedora 14 systems available.

However, the srpm is available here:

 http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xosview/1.9.2/1.fc15/src/xosview-1.9.2-1.fc15.src.rpm

  
If you want to rebuild yourself.

Excuse my ignorance but not sure how to builf from source. However - if you send me your email address to marc I'll create a virtual Fedora 14 server for you to use.

Comment 14 Marc Perkel 2012-02-19 21:53:35 UTC
I just want to say to all of you that I really appreciate you fixing this and maintaining xosview. It's a really great program. I can glance up at the screen and get a sense of that is going on with any of my servers just seeing the colors and shapes. Nothing else works like this program.

God job!
