[Solved] monitoring cpu usage

now as the fonts in Firefox and Thunderbird are also "readable" (by altering .fonts.conf) it seems to be only one thing (hopefully) is left for me, a cpu usage graph in the upper pannel. In http://docs.xfce.org/help/xfce4-panel/C … items.html there is a "CPU frequency monitor", this one is not available on my system (Fedora 15), has this to be enabled at compile time ?
Or can anyone suggest a gtk application that simply shows a graph with the cpu utilization (like the one in gnome3 or the windows task manager when minimized) ?

Thx

Re: [Solved] monitoring cpu usage

Maybe by default, your system didn't install this plugin ? In OpenSuse, the package you need to install is called xfce4-panel-plugin-cpufreq. On Fedora, it may have different name. Try to search on Fedora repo something like cpufreq-plugin

Re: [Solved] monitoring cpu usage

Checking, there's no xfce4-panel-plugin-cpufreq or cpufreq-plugin listed.

Re: [Solved] monitoring cpu usage

yes, that helped, it is not yet released for fedora but it is available unter "testing", installed it and it worked.

But this is not exactly what i'm looking for, i only want to have a graph showing the cpu usage to see if some program consumes to much cpu, any hint what program will provide this ? (It can be really simple, s bar graph would be enough (like the one in LXDE))

Re: [Solved] monitoring cpu usage

There is also the Xfce's cpugraph plugin that plot graph of cpu usage ... Otherwise you also have conky but may need some tweaks ...

Re: [Solved] monitoring cpu usage

Thanks, cpugraph is also not included in the fedora repos. Installed it and this was exactly what i was looking for.
