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.

I have Cinnamon running on Debian 9. When applying this Desklet I get the following in glass.log: Extension.prototype._init@/usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/extension.js:155 Extension@/usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/extension.js:116 loadExtension@/usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/extension.js:449 _onEnabledDeskletsChanged@/usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/deskletManager.js:203 ----------------> error t=2017-09-01T18:24:26.186Z [Desklet "simple-system-monitor@ariel"]: Error importing desklet.js from simple-system-monitor@ariel error t=2017-09-01T18:24:26.186Z Could not load desklet simple-system-monitor@ariel error t=2017-09-01T18:31:18.186Z redeclaration of const NMClient trace t=2017-09-01T18:31:18.186Z Any ideas?

The problem is in `~/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets/simple-system-monitor\@ariel/desklet.js` Edit this file an comment out or remove the last 3 `const` declarations of the code block on the top of the file: //const GTop = imports.gi.GTop; //const NMClient = imports.gi.NMClient; //const NetworkManager = imports.gi.NetworkManager; Then the desklet will work. You may have to install some dependencies in addition, but the desklet will tell you.

The only difference this made was the last two lines from the above log no longer appears.

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.

Kevin Walton-1 year ago

UPDATE: I was able to modify the size by manually editing stylesheet.css, although I needed to restart my system in order the the desklet to properly resize itself. I used a width of 150px and a border of 8px on each side for some good results with now "..."-ing of labels, although your personal mileage may vary.

Karl Pearson-1 year ago

Kevin, thank you for providing the file to fix width and the padding, etc... When you are running Cinnamon, at least on Linux Mint, the inventors of Cinnamon, you only need to use ALT-F2 and type the command 'r' (sans quotes) and press ENTER. This restarts Cinnamon, which applies the settings you have or are editing. That's the fastest way to get the changes to work for you.

Thanks for this info. The ... were driving me a little nuts

Dannation-1 year ago

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.

Karl Pearson-1 year ago

There have been some comments about this after yours. Check them out and you'll find the solution, which involves editing sytlesheet.css in the desklet's home directory, and then to apply the changes you make, use ALT-F2, r to restart Cinnamon.
