Issue also present in ubuntu i386 desktop 14.04, installed package: 3.8.2.1-2ubuntu1.
gnome-system-monitor is busy drawing graphs (gsm takes about 20% cpu load in itself doing this) and increases system load. When the user tries to change the resource refresh interval, the value is not saved and resets from any value set to 0 when the preferences form is next opened. It is not possible to change the interval from 0, and system load further increases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-system-monitor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1269937 Title: system monitor 3.8.2.1 on xubuntu 13.10 will not retain preference values Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: System Monitor 3.8.2.1 (c) 2001-2004 Kevin Vandersloot Attemppt to change settings for teh preferences for file systems, Resources and processes are ignored.
