Hi! On my Acer notebook, I only see one of the following %-values for the CPU: NaN / 0 / 50 / 100 Why can it be that I don't see any other intermediate values? NaN in particular seems strange to me. I cannot judge whether there is something special about the Desklet or whether there is something wrong with my CPU. I'm using Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon.

Regarding the GPU temperature, for an NVidia card there is no directory for the temperature as there is for the CPU (well, not that I am aware of). In general it may be better to specify the GPU temperature as a directory where it exists or execute a specific command to get the temperature from the GPU directly. For my single NVidia 1080 I use: $ nvidia-smi --query-gpu=temperature.gpu --format=csv,noheader The above returns a single integer that should be able to be integrated to be displayed through the desklet. The same command line is unlikely to be true for where multiple NVidia GPU's are installed, or for that matter applicable to AMD or Intel GPU's. As such any command line would be required to be defined by the user or provided from a set of basic defaults. However, having the option to specify a directory path or a command line for the GPU temperature would be helpful; with the same being true for the CPU too. If I were using a command to derive the CPU (Intel 6700k) temperature for my system, it would likely be: $ sensors | grep 'Package id 0' | grep -ioP ' \+[0-9][0-9]' | tail -c 3 A not pretty but it returns an integer.

Please how is the path to Nvidia GPU temperature?

Values are incorrect: regular system monitor/psensors vs. this desklet CPU 70% vs. 38% RAM 7.2 G vs 6.7G Temp 39 C vs 71 C Linux Mint 21 x86_64 Cinnamon 5.4.12

seems to freeze after a while (no change of CPU, RAM or temperature) Linux Mint 21 x86_64 Cinnamon 5.4.12

how to instal in my linux mint?

Nice and simple but I'm missing the percentage of memory usage

May be better to replace acpi temp with one of the core temps instead.

Is there a way to change the font color?

To make the background transparent I edited the metadata.json file at: /home/yourusername/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets/simple-system-monitor@ariel I changed "prevent-decorations" from 'false' to 'true'. Then pressed Alt+F2 to open the Dialog Window and typed 'r' to restart Cinnamon.

On Linux Mint 20.2 all is working except temperature with AMD Ryzen 2700 CPU. Found that thermal_zone file did not exist. Replaced thermal-file path with /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.3/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input and now temperature is being reported correctly. Thank you for a very useful desklet.

As pmouz commented, I had to change mine to zone5 for it to work properly. Thanks pmouz.

Version 1.0.1 (2021-04-10 14:00:03) I must have my fonts larger than you expect them to be. I had to change the stylesheet.css for mainContainer to be 220px wide. Otherwise the labels abbreviated and values truncated. In Mint 20.1 Cinnamon the desklets installer also warns "This desklet contains function calls that could potentially cause Cinnamon to crash or freeze." Not sure if that just typical because you access some hardware that isn't common to desklets? got me! A version for Fahrenheit would be nice.

Working fine on Linux Mint 20.1 Just run on a console: sudo xed /home/yourusername/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets/simple-system-monitor@ariel/metadata.json and change at thermal-file from thermal_zone0 to thermal_zone2 and save the file. Then restart your computer.

Tja, jahrelang läuft es mit LM 18.3 stabil vor sich hin - und dann dieses Update. Bitte den Fehler fixen. Bei der Gelegenheit auch bitte an die Temperaturanzeige für AMD Systeme zum laufen bringen. DANKE

linux mint 18.3 cinnamon dont't work plz fix it

Can you do a Fahrenheit version ? Works great.

Doesn't work on Linux Mint 20, says not compatible with this version of Cinnamon.

Installed it on a new Linux Mint 20. CPU, Memory, Download and Upload stats seems to be updated in real time, except the temperature stat. It shows a constant 25C, but when I checked using terminal, "inxi -Fxz", I got the following thermal data: Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 48.0 C mobo: 47.0 C sodimm: 39.0 C

I feel it doesn't work very accurately on Mint 9.3 Cinnamon. I had it installed a while, and it 'looked' to be working, but then I got to feel that it wasn't giving me the right information. The Temperature seems to be low all the time and I knew by the heat coming from the fan at times, that it actually increased. The CPU % also appeared to stay low, even when the computer was working on CPU intensive tasks. So, I ran htop for a day on screen and compared. The Memory reading seems accurate enough, but the CPU was way off, I could be pegging out the cpus and the desklet was saying it was only using a small percentage. And during that time, the temperature didn't rise... in a laptop! So, as much as it is a great idea, I feel that something isn't quite right on my set-up.

it seems to work perfectly also in LM 19.3

Can we make the background transparent?

*Cinnamon <--

Works perfectly on Linux Mint 19.2, many thanks !

Works perfectly on Linux Mint 19.1

It's working perfectly on my ASUS in LMDE 3 Cindy. How can I change the temperature to Fahrenheit? I looked in the JSON file but it is a little over my head. Help will be appreciated.

Does not work on Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon

working great on LMDE 3

Thanks for this simple and easy desklet. It works fine on my two desktops and two notebooks with Linux Mint19

Works fine for me with Mint 19. Only issue is reading the wrong temperature sensor (it was reading ambient temp instead of my CPU temp). I fixed it with an edit to /~/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets/simple-system-monitor@ariel/metadata.json. I changed thermal_zone0 to thermal_zone2.

This is a great little desklet to show all system stats in a simple form, however this is not working in LinuxMint 19. Please fix this, its really useful.

Everything but Temperature works on 18.3 kernel 4.13.0-38-generic.

Does not work on Fedora 27. Cinnamon crashed.

The inventors of Cinnamon, the Linux Mint developers, make Cinnamon on that platform so it works out of the box, at least for me. I installed the 32-bit libraries to get WebEx working right, and maybe that has something to do with mine working fine from the get-go. Also a note from a comment I made to an earlier post. When you edit the configuration file, stylesheet.css, to apply your changes, press ALT-F2, 'r' (sans quotes) and hit <ENTER> and Cinnamon will restart applying your settings. This works for any desklet that doesn't take your configuration settings right off. It also fixes a bunch of other things, too, though that list has shortened considerably since the early days of Cinnamon.

gir1.2-gtop-2.0 install bat does not work on Mint 18.2

Does not work on Mint 18.2 (throws an error)

temp app not working and or missing stuff in Linux mint -ubuntu family I have tried to get this and other temp deskapp and other applets like this.

Temperature is N/A for me. What i need to install?

I have Cinnamon running on Debian 9.

Agreed, this is a great desklet but it's crying out for config options to resize the window. I need mine just a little wider so I'm not looking at "Temperat...42 C" etc.

This is really cool, I'm a sucker for stats, but for me the font on the text is too large to display all of the words, except for CPU & Upload. So "Memory" becomes "Memo...", and so on. Some way to adjust the size of the box, and/or the text size would be a nice addition. Nice work though, this was a needed addition to the desklet repertoire.
