gnome applet system monitor can't monitor swap and disk usage
Last modified: 2014-06-18 05:10:43 EDT
Description of problem: In rawhide, system monitor 2.24.1 doesn't seem to be able to get the data for swap % used and disk activity. This worked in F9. Did interfaces change/break with 2.6.27 kernels? How reproducible: Every time
Are you using lvm ? From what I see here, libgtop2 fails to report io for lvm, since it tries to read /sys/block/mapper/VolGroup/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02/stat instead of /sys/block/dm-<x>/stat which might be correct.
I am using LVM2. This bug is a regression however, as it worked in F9. I think I have never had it work in F10-Rawhide. (Changes in libgtop2? Changes in the kernel?)
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Any chance of this getting fixed in F10?
This still exists in rawhide for F11.

This still exists and is still very annoying.

My assumption is that the Assigned To here is either, 1. Deceased, or 2. Not interested.
Or, 3. Assigned To is busy, and has other priorities! My apologies for the earlier remark - I have bugs with no activity for months and assumed otherwise. But I see updates by sandmann@redhat.com as recently as 2010-08-24 09:11:27 EDT. I'll try to help by marking duplicates. Sorry for the noise.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The applet doesn't exist in F15/F16/Gnome3. It may apply to the System Monitor, I will check later. If not, then this bug should probably be marked as WONTFIX or some such.
