"Netload-plugin cannot handle predictable interface names." https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9807 e.g. systemd-udevd: renamed network interface wlan0 to wlp0s4f1u3 This accompanied patch works reliably, long since. "Workaround for extending the maximum interface name size (+10 chars)" http://bug-attachment.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=4881 Also, "Length limit of interface names precludes use of valid interfaces" https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9869
"Network Monitor applet doesn't accept more than 7 characters in interface name" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1002329

Created attachment 955530 [details] Handle predictable interface names length
Upstream fixed this in a different way. They removed the limit on it entirely... Can you please comment on upstream bug: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9869 and see what might be going on with their fix?
1.2.3 broke it even more, in addition - incomplete units display. The way it works OK: # https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9807 # https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9869 # https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1157193 # https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1002329 # This commit didn't solve ifnames lenght problem at all: # Do not enforce max length for text/device entries (bug #9869) # http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-netload-plugin/commit/?id=215438c # So here we go again # Handle predictable interface names length Patch10: handle-predictable-interface-names-length.patch # Add argument as_bits to format_byte_humanreadable function # http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-netload-plugin/commit/?id=2e2d905 Patch11: Add-argument-as_bits-to-format_byte_humanreadable-function.patch # Add bufBS value in commandline test program # http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-netload-plugin/commit/?id=8fb438c Patch12: Add-bufBS-value-in-commandline-test-program.patch # Add option Show values as bits (bug #9932) # http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-netload-plugin/commit/?id=4be032a Patch14: Add-option-Show-values-as-bits.patch
Can you expand on "in addition - incomplete units display" ? Note that this breakage is why I haven't pushed this to any stable releases.
Please test 1.2.4. Just built in rawhide. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8211934
Actually labels were reduced only to "B", but this has now all been resolved, with the addition of "b". Super duper. Tested with: $ rpm -q xfce4-netload-plugin xfce4-netload-plugin-1.2.4-1.fc20.x86_64 PASSED.
