NVidia Device Monitor 0.1.2 (Plasmoid Binary)


ThumbnailNVidia Device Monitor 0.1.2
(Plasmoid Binary)
This is a simple NVidia Device Monitor. It displays card model, temperature and gpu\'s memory occupation.
Proprietary drivers are required.

The tar file contains a separate folder with the plasma data engine only. I think it's useful for those who want to to write other plasmoids for the same purpose, maybe with a more polite interface. Data engine is written in c++, applet is written in QML.

(This is my first plasmoid, I hope it's useful.)

INSTALLATION:
extract the tar.gz file, then execute install-for-current-user.sh script or install-for-global.sh script.

otherwise:
mkdir build
cd build

1. install for global
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make
make install (with root, use kdesu, sudo, su, anything you like)
kbuildsycoca4 (for refresh the list)

2. install for current user
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --localprefix` ..
make
make install
kbuildsycoca4 (for refresh the list)



changelog:
0.1.2 (05/02/2012)
- Now it uses plasma theme font and color.
- Fixed aspect ratio issue on resize.
- Now it starts with smarter size.

BusyTasks 11.9 (Plasmoid Script)


ThumbnailBusyTasks 11.9
(Plasmoid Script)
Update 11.9: Small changes to handle high update rate in panels.

Simple but highly configurable task monitor.
Isn't everything some kind of process? At least on a computer it is. So let's keep an eye on them.
This plasmoid initially was a clumsy spin-off from Dmitry Makovey's tail plasmoid, but after I got more and more used to python and the program got more and more complex I cut everything superfluous and eventually separated it from tail.
This plasmoid uses several programs to get its input. The collected data is neither unique nor new, but the idea to clearly sum it up in one single program is. This task monitor displays up to four different tasks, each with different priority.

CPU intensive task:
Name and the percentage of the most CPU intensive task. The underlying top daemon is very efficient and does not really affect CPU and IO.

Memory intensive task:
Name of the most memory intensive task, combined with a measure of size (absolute value or percentage to total available memory).
The implementation is the same as for the task above.

IO intensive task:
The task that currently asks for IO.
The software package includes an own version of iotop that sends data via shared memory.

NET intensive task:
The task that eats up your bandwidth.
You will be prompted for an administrator password when starting nethogs.
Like the one of iotop, this is a modified nethogs daemon that does not affect IO.

Additionally, the configurable update interval plays a crucial role in resource consumption. The smaller it is set, the more resources are needed.
There should be slightly less resource consumption (in terms of IO as well as overall) since release 8.0. Release 10.0 eventually cut out all IO.

The plasmoid is highly configurable to fit most desktop designs.
It supports highlighting of processes, either through a simple colour change after a certain limit of per cents or via colour gradient. For the statisticians among you, you can even log output. BusyTasks is only useful if it is always visible (e.g. residing on a panel) If you'd have got to minize windows or show the desktop to have a glance on it you could equally start the system monitor.

REQUIREMENTS:
For full functionality, you need to meet the following requirements:
  • Installation of top in your command-line interpeter. This usually is the case on UNIX OSs.
  • Proper value of $HOME variable in the shell environment
  • The System V IPC module for python.
    If you don't have it yet, visit http://semanchuk.com/philip/sysv_ipc/ for download and install instructions.
    Short manual:
    Download file, go to the related directory and run "sudo python setup.py install". For systems linking python 3 per default, type "sudo python2 setup.py install". If it quits moaning about a python file install the package "python-dev(el)" first.
  • There is a chance that one of the used backends (iotop and nethogs) does not work due to missing libraries. Basically there are two ways to proceed: Either install the standalone versions of iotop and nethogs and benefit from automatic dependency resolution or get the missing files/packages manually. BusyTasks usually reports the problem. (read section "troubleshooting")

    • TROUBLESHOOTING:
  • If you have a problem with resizing, activate the option "resize manually"
  • On systems with linux kernel 3.1 (or above), iotop must be run in administration mode. Before activation, make sure there's a permissions error with standard rights. Be careful, arbitrarily switching between user and administration mode may cause an IPC permission error!
  • If the iotop daemon does not start, some libraries may be missing. (see plasmoid output) Install them via KPackageKit, pacman, portage, etc.
  • If none of the implemented nethogs daemons run, download the sources (see links), compile it directly on your system, copy it to the BusyTasks directory and overwrite one of the existing nethogs0* daemons.
  • If the name resolution of VirtualBox virtual machines does not work and you see some weird symbols, close the plasmoid, delete the current bashpipetosharedmemory75* binaries from the contents folder and use the old ones by removing the *.old endings. Additionally, they must be executable.
  • On some systems the superuser frontend does only accept passwords entered in terminals. As a consequence the "use administrative password"-setting does not work, you've to manually enter your password each time. As a workaround, one may handle the daemons in the appropriate system runlevel.
    • If you still don't get it to work, contact me here or via mail. You probably found a bug/compatibility problem.

    BUGS:
    Since release 11.5 the program should be (nearly) bug free.
    Please report here or via mail (see plasmoid info) if your plasma-desktop crashes (so that I can at least remove the above claim), which usually happens when BusyTasks is removed from the desktop.
    The plasmoid was tested on several distributions (read below).
    Known bugs:
    1. Inside a panel configuration is not possible. You have to drag it out and change settings there.
    2. Likewise, process display delay for IO and network does not work inside it. I conclude that refresh events are triggered independently by plasma-desktop. Tests confirmed that the plasmoid is updated 2-3 times per second irregardless of its settings. Fixed

    PERFORMANCE:
    Python may be the wrong language to write such a tool in.
    Currently the process of (re)configuration is horribly slow.
    On the one hand, bad code is responsible for the speed inefficiency, on the other hand it is my quest for user-conveniency and upwards-compatibility that accounts for this behaviour. As jobs of configuration or organisation are usually done only twice per runtime (at startup and at termination) it's still acceptable.
    I'll probably rewrite the whole program (including the iotop daemon) in C++ sometime (sometime...what a nice euphemism for never ;-)). For the moment performance remains the only real bug.

    TESTS: Program successfully tested on:
    Kubuntu 9.10, 11.04 and 11.10
    Fedora 15
    OpenSUSE 11.4
    Arch 2011-08-19
    Slackware 13.37
    Gentoo 11.2

    TRANSLATIONS:
    If you want to contribute to the project, feel free to unpack the plasmoid-package and read the translation instructions in the contents folder.

    I strongly recommend all who have installed a previous version to get an update!
    Please comment, rate and criticise.
    In the long run I'll have to create a website for documentation because the installation possibilities and configuration options are quite impressive and this description's already uncomfortably large. Due to a severe lack of time reading tooltips is all I suggest for now.

    changelog:
    The KMyMoney Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
    KMyMoney version 4.6.2 [1][2]. This version contains quite a few fixes for bugs
    found in 4.6.1 since it was released three months ago.

    Here is a list of the most important changes since the last stable release:

    * OFX files with UTF-8 data can now be imported correctly
    * Fix displaying the 'Enter/Skip schedule' action icons in the homepage on
    Windows
    * Fixed the initial size of the schedule entry dialog in some use cases
    * Fixed a hang in reports in some scenarios
    * Fixed some Finance::Quote related problems on Windows
    * Allow editing the memo of multiple transactions
    * Fix schedule handling
    * Make the QIF import on Windows usable
    * Fix GnuCash file import
    * Improve item navigation using the keyboard
    * Scheduled transactions can now be correctly skipped or ignored when
    automatic entry is enabled
    * Fix the budgets that somehow still reference invalid accounts

    For a full list of the changes please check out the changelog [3]. We highly
    recommend upgrading to 4.6.2 as soon as possible. We would also recommend
    packagers to endorse this version as their latest stable version of KMyMoney
    due to the number of fixes available vs. 4.5.3. During this bugfix cycle a new
    release of libalkimia was also made available.
