#27711 — GKrellM question

Hi,

I use gkrellm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GKrellM) to monitor
different things in my computer. I only have a little problem: how to
sort the boxes.

For example, now I have:

sdf
sdh
dm-2
dm-1
dm-3
sda
sdb
sdc
sddd
sde
sde1
sr0
md0
dm-0
sdg


They seem to be in the order I added them. I'd like to have them grouped
by type, or alphabetical order. I tried removing and adding them again:
they went to their old places.

Anyone knows how to sort the monitors or boxes?

Cheers, Carlos.

Doesn't look like it can be done in gkrellm. The order appears to be
based on the contents of /proc/diskstats which is generated by the kernel.
That's based on running gkrellm under strace to see what it's accessing.

In that case, the order would be sdb, sda:

I managed some sorting editing file /home/cer/.gkrellm2/user-config. Now
I have:

sdh
sda
sdb
sdc
sdd
sde
sde1
sdf
sdg
sr0

But sdh refuses to move. At least it is better than it was.

You could enable "allow multile instances" and then use different
config files by starting with a "--config <suffix>".  If you feed it a
suffix that you have not used before, it automatically generates the
files user-config-<suffix> and sensor-config-<suffix> when you quit.
Next time you start with that --config <suffix>, only the items you have
configured will display in that instance.  Combine this with "Remember
screen location..." and you can script startup of a collection instances
with custom configs.

Yes... Or I could even delete or rename the configuration entirely to
force it to create a new one, and add now the wanted elements in correct
order.

Yes, I will try your suggestion later, I think.

I did that, and now I have the things in proper ordering, thanks :-)

There is one remaining issue: the window is too high, higher than the
old instance. It is because of the "led", a tiny blob that moves left
and right because of the activity in that monitor. That's one millimetre
at least (with 22 monitors, they add up). I don't see where to remove
them - my old instance doesn't have them.

If you're talking about the "blip" thing on each monitor, its size
appears to be controlled by the Themes->Options->Scale widget.

No, I want to remove that blip entirely. The gkrelm old instance doesn't
have them at all.

However, I noticed that the old instance was scaled to 40. Did the same
in the new instance and it worked.


Baffled...

Yeah, I don't see a way to disable it, but setting scale to 40 or below
seems to make it "disappear."

Well, that suffices. Maybe I had this same issue years ago and I had
forgotten the trick. Thanks.

Even more, I restarted the desktop machine and it has started the
correct config of gkrellm automatically. I have the modules correctly
sorted. Very nice! :-D

I had been suffering the incorrect ordering for many months or years.
One of those tiny things that nags one to do something but one puts it
on the side ;-)

Still, not being able to sort the boxes via some easy GUI way, and
having to reconfigure the program from scratch, is a severe lack of the
program.

Sorry, I can´t help with your orig. question but I can opine that the 
above issue
is off the wall and muy doubtful - I´d guess its a typo problem.  I 
can´t think of how, not to mention why, that program would take it on 
itself to change your input.  I´ve never heard of that happening with 
thunderbird or any other email client.  Maybe you need to talk to aioe?

I can explain that.

I write on the "newsgroup" line "alt.os.linux" (without quotes) then
[tab] to exit the line; Thunderbird autocompletes after a second to
"alt.os.linux.suse".

If I type slowly "alt.os.linux" (without quotes) and wait a bit,
Thunderbird offers both ""alt.os.linux" and "alt.os.linux.suse",
defaulting to the later.

It is just a fact, I verified what I said as I typed this answer.

No typo problem, I'm pasting "alt.os.linux" from another message. Any
message from that group.
