[opensuse] KNetdump / Qtraffic successor?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, during KDE 1.x times, I loved to used knetdump to monitor what's going on in my local network. Now I have some absurd traffic values on my central server and I was looking for a tool which provides a similar traffic display because that very easily identifies bandwidth-eaters. I found the source for qtraffic but could get it to compile - well, it's for Qt 2.2... Does anybody know a program (for Linux/Opensuse, of course) which provides a similar display output? For those who don't know knetdump/qtraffic: Those programs provided a "traffic view" which showed each network node as a dot and then drew lines in different colors between the nodes, the color representing the protocol, the width of the line representing the bandwidth in use.

And knetdump was written for qt1. Ubuntu seem to have compatibility libraries for qt4 to provide backwards compatibility for qt1 apps (and probably qt2, but I didn't google that) but a quick zypper se qt1 didn't turn up anything for oS (but maybe I was searching for the wrong thing). If there is nothing in any of the oS repositories (and I haven't checked OBS either) then you may have to look upstream. There should be a way to compile the qt1/qt2 apps on qt4 using a compatibility library I would have thought. When you find it, please report back here because these look like very useful tools. -- ========================================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ========================================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I've just tried that and it doesn't work. Even when I run it as root, I get an error message: "No capture device found or insufficient privileges. ..."

Well, all I can say is it works here (installed 30 mins ago). I didn't have to configure anything. It has to run as root.

I have tried both by the menu and entering root password and also form the root shell. Same thing either way. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
