Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cpufire-applet
cpufire-applet 1.4-4ubuntu1
I have found a regression in the panel applet CPU Fire Applet, in
reference to Jaunty. In CPU Fire Applet, mousing over the flame supposed
to show the CPU usage, which doesn't work in Karmic. Also, more serious,
is that Preferences... doesn't work at all. Selecting the menu item
doesn't open the preferences window. Open System Monitor, Help, and
About work correctly. I started crawling the web looking for some post
to shed some light on the situation, but to no avail; however, I did
find the source to v. 1.6. I went ahead and compiled it after getting a
whole bunch of dependencies (libgtop2-dev, libpanel-applet2-dev,
libgtk2.0-dev, etc, etc). I ran that, and still had the same problem.
This is not major, but still an annoyance for me, because it used to be
a convenient way for me check CPU usage, what with my s...@home and all,
and I liked it nice and big, next to sensors-applet. With the
preferences window gone, I can't change the size or sensitivity of the
applet.
I am now running 1.4 again, because I thought it would make more sense
to run the repos one, which most people would have, and that there is no
noticible increase of performance, extra features, or the fix to this
bug in 1.6. I removed 1.6 with make clean, and manual config file
deletion.
I can't get any terminal output because I'm not exactly sure how to run
it from the terminal. The executable runs with no error messages, and
just sits there. i think I need to assign it to a panel from the
terminal somehow to get anything useful to report.
Expected: The mouse over function works, and so does the preferences
window, with operable controls.
Actual: The mouse over and preferences are completely absent.
