Configurar root-tail y gkrellm en Fluxbox

Continuing the 25-year journey through my #Linux screenshots.

Here's one from 2000 where I connect to my #Amiga 4000 via vnc, ironically watching Microsoft's website in the Voyager web-browser.

#gkrellm on the right, a faithful companion even now. And as always #fvwm as window manager (almost always, I cheated with KDE for a while).

My current desktop is pictured here. Courtesy of: #fvwm3, #tint2 (the bar on top), a bunch of custom widgets in the tint2-bar, #Memphis98 as gtk-theme, qt's built-in Windown-like theme, #GkrellM on the right.

Here's my story about a long perplexing frequent micro stutter that occurred when gaming on Xorg but not on wayland. Maddening. It turns out it was cauesd by Nvidia GPU temperature monitoring in gkrellm. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/11slsfw/nvidia_gpu_temp_monitoring_causing_micro_stutters/

For comparison, that's how my desktop currently looks

Still e16, but different theme
Still using vim, but now uxrvt instead of xterm, and different font

Still the same main background. 16:9 now, though

#GKrellM #Linux #Gentoo

March 2006. No Windows partitions anymore

And I've changed my desktop background. That's actually the main one I still use today

#Gentoo #Linux #GKrellM

Oldest screenshot I still have is from 2005. That's already the exact same gkrellm theme

Linux kernel 2.6.10. 768MB RAM. I still had a Windows partition there, since I had mounted "wC" and "wD"

I've been using #GKrellM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GKrellM , a system monitor) basically since I've started using #Linux in 2000

It's currently flagged for removal from #Gentoo. No maintainer for the package. And upstream is dead. Literally, even, the main dev Bill Wilson died in 2021 :(

That's how my current gkrellm setup looks. Well, "current", it's not I've changed it in any way ever

I still love #gkrellm!

Gkrellm as Linux system status monitor is still king of my hill. I tried to give Conky a new try while being in the process of getting to know the Awesome window manager and configuring to taste (still mostly on floating layout though). The Gkrellm CPU diagram displays system, user and nice times, while Conky does not differ between those. Similar for the network traffic for instance.

Hopefully, #Gkrellm never dies.

Just need to re-educate my eyes to not keep looking over to where #GKrellm used to be to see what the CPU is doing...

#Eaon #Kubuntu

Might be #GKrellm -related, so I've got rid of it for the time being. Now with added zombie process, which is suggestive #Eaon #Kubuntu

Here you go, in the bottom right hand corner, who's bright idea were they?

I think I might move #GKrellm down just a smidge to hide them from my sight (;*

There was I thinking telling a process to use only one CPU, via schedtool would mean I'd have a #gkrellm showing one CPU being less busy than the other.

But, maybe I've misunderstood what schedtool is capable of...

Or perhaps setting it to a nice level of 10, and making SCHED_BATCH as well as changing its affinity have overriden each other?;*

#ffmpeg #linux

Finally settled on a theme for #Gkrellm on #Bionic
