Just an FYI, those patches are actually for the 4.10 branch[1]. I'm working on a new stable release, see https://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce4-d … 30908.html

Add bufBullshit value in commandline test program

Man, would that be handy as a general net feature or what!

MountainDewManiac · 2014-11-17 11:10:23

<LAUGHING>, no, it'd crash due to overflow error too often - probably each time a person checked their spammail I mean email.

As always, ToZ, thanks for the thread, the updates in it, and everything else you do around here. You - and numerous others - have taught us a lot.

Hardware Monitor is a monitor applet for the XFCE4 panel (originally
the GNOME panel). It supports a variety of monitoring capabilities
(CPU usage, network throughput etc.) and different kinds of viewers
(curves, bars, columns, text, flames).

Because I'm interested in checking the app out, but it's not in my repos. I found that link, though, which has a version 1.46 but as IDK who wrote the official XFCE one, I'm not sure that they're one and the same.

Yes it is. Its an official xfce plugin now thats being hosted in the Xfce git tree.

Jristz · 2014-11-30 04:11:08

But I not see that plugin in transifex, so I can translate it...

Ah. I downloaded the .deb, ran it, and saw:
Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libglibmm-2.4.1c2a (>= 2.42.0)

Whoops. Synaptic Package Manager tells me I have version 2.39.93-0ubuntu1 installed, and no newer version shows as available. Looks like I'll be waiting a while. IDK if there's a place on the Mint forum to request newer versions or not.

Dumb-user syndrome strikes again, lol. Guess I'll continue to plod along with my separate CPU/memory/swap (System Load Monitor), download/upload (Network Monitor), Core0/Core1/HDD Temperature (Sensor Plugin), CPU frequency monitor (CPU Frequency Monitor), and CPU frequency changer (I can't remember, it's sitting in the "Indicator Plugin" area). I was hoping that other one would consolidate things somewhat in order to save space on a full top panel. Oh well, everything works, and everything (barely) fits, so no worries.

MDM

Are you quoting me? It looks like what I wrote, but since you did not add a name to the QUOTE tags, I'm just guessing. Regardless, I'd give you "extra points" for not quoting an entire post when you only needed the above text, though smile .

If it is me you quoted, see the link I posted. Left-click on version 1.4.6. You will see two file links (32- and 64-bit .DEBs).

MDM

Got it, thanks. Didn't add the name, you're right--my bad.

I think that have a version thing like wait to xfce4 4.12 is not the best for xfce
maybe anything more rolling could help, I thing.
