Bug 43839 – x11-plugins/desklet-psisensors wrong memory reported with >=gnome-extra/gdesklet-core-0.25.1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sven Wegener 2004-03-05 16:03:56 UTC]

Hi,

with version gnome-extra/gdesklet-core-0.25.1 the memory (ram/swap) values reported by libdesklets has changed. In prior version the memory reported
was in kilobytes. From 0.25.1 the values are in bytes which confuses
psisensors (Memory sensor) and will report wrong values.

I'll mark this one as trivial, as packages are ~arch masked so I don't think many people will notice this error. Don't know when the next version from
Psi will be released, so I think that this should be fixed.

See attached patch for the ebuild and FILESDIR

Sven

We should take this one upstream, thanks for your patch Sven. Most likely, I'll send it to psi (giving you credit of course), and depending on how quick psi's response is/plans for next version are, I'll either apply it locally, or wait until a new version.

Thanks.

Bug has been fixed in x11-plugins/desklet-psisensors-20040420

How about an updated dependency on >=gnome-extra/gdesklets-core-0.25.1
in x11-plugins/desklet-psisensors-20040420? When using prior versions
of gnome-extra/gdesklets-core ram/swap values will still be wrong. Prior
versions have been removed from portage, but just to be on the safe side.
