regular hard lockups in display about gnome-shell-extension-system-monitor HOT 6 OPEN

Hi @bfallik,

Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding the quoted warning from the log, I'm not sure if it's caused by this extension as I don't see a single instance of that on my machine (at least under Gnome 43.2).

It would help a lot if you could narrow down which usage indicator caused this issue. If you open up the settings of the extension, you can turn off them separately. Other users reported problems with the swap indicator, so I would start with that.

Hi @bfallik

I've made an improvement on that. The UI lag seems to be gone after the fix.
Would you mind testing it? Replace the contents of ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] with the attached zip file:

Hi @elvetemedve

Sure, I'm tryout out the new build now. When I was last testing this extension the lockups happened quickly, within a few days, so I should know soon enough if this resolves the issue.

Is there a way to know for certain that I'm using the extension from the zipfile? I've copied the files from the zip into ~/.local/... already but wasn't sure if there was a way to see exactly what Gnome Shell thinks it's running.

Best,

Hi,

Great, thank you.
Just make sure you log out and log in again after extracting the new version. Or if you are on an Xorg session you can reload the Shell by pressing Alt+F2 then type r and press enter.
That's it.

hi @elvetemedve , been using SystemMonitor for 5 days now without lockup so it seems to me that bug has been addressed in the dev build you shared above. Previously my system would lock 2-3 times per day.

Assuming you release a new version with these fixes, do I need to do anything to switch back to the normal release stream? Right now I'm using the manually installed build from the zip archive. Will Gnome just upgrade me when there's a newer upstream?

Thx,

Hi @bfallik,

That's great news. Thank you for your help. I will publish it as a new release soon.

No action needed, you can keep the dev version. Gnome will notify you about the new release, so you can do the upgrade as usual, but it will be functionally identical to the dev version.
