gnome system monitor doesn't show read-write of other applications, or actual CPU usage












1















Well the "processes" page of the gnome-system-monitor application seems to show very faulty data. The diskread total and diskwrite total for any application is "N/A" (even though I know certain applications save to disk, and I am trying to debug this, since disk seems to constantly run & seem to lag down the whole system).



On top of that the actual cpu usage is always "0" for any application, yet in the "resources" tab I see total cpu be somewhere around 20-40%.



What is causing these problems and how can I fix it to find which process is keeping my hard drive busy?

  • Hey, would you mind posting a screenshot? It may be just my version of the sys monitor, but I don't have anything that looks like diskread or diskwrite. Also, what types of processes are you showing (yours, active, or all?) Furthermore, what kind of specs do you have on your system?
