Hello! I wanted to have a monitoring in the task bar on the hard disk usage of my machine (localhost) and I found out that the ksysguard applet handle should be able to do that. So far so good. I then wanted to set it up. It suggests to drag and drop the sensor into the applet cell. After having done that, it asks for the connection type (ssh, rsh, Deamon, custom). I tried them all but always finish up with a non working sensor (with a small drawing indicating so). The best result I could get was with ssh where I get a message box asking for my password without letting me enter it (there is no filed available). What do I miss? Thanks in advance for your help!

Disregard this if it is useless information. I am running 9.0, and to install the system monitor in my status bar I simply right-click the bar, select applet, and then select the system monitor from that list. There then appears a bar graph in my status bar showing cpu and disk use. This is 9.0 and KDE 3.1.4 however. -Sheldon On Tue, 2004-01-27 at 16:45, Patriiiiiiiiiick wrote:

FWIW I also did the same procedure with with the ksysguard applet with no issue. Maybe right clicking the bar and stepping through rather than dragging will give a better result... -Sheldon On Tue, 2004-01-27 at 16:45, Patriiiiiiiiiick wrote:

Sheldon, Thank you for your help! You made me think about the solution to this issue. Here are the steps to get into this problem and to solve it. (I suppose I did that somehow.) When you first ask through the contextual menu for the ksysguard applet, it appears properly with two displays. Now remove those displays and remove the ksysguard too from the bar. Add the ksysguard again. Now try to add sensors. You should fall into the problem I described below. To be able to start ksysguard properly again, I moved its configuration directory. Looking a bit further, it seems that when removing the displays, it also removes the following line: <host port="-1" shell="" name="localhost" command="ksysguardd" /> from its config file: ~/.kde/share/apps/ksysguard/KSysGuardApplet.xml but will only "remember" about it while it is running. I wanted to report that bug to bugs.kde.org but my version is considered to be too old. So, if someone wants to see if he can reproduce it with a newer version, it might be a good idea.
