Psensor v0.6.2.15

Posted on by

Psensor v0.6.2.15 has been released and fixes few issues concerning the code portability on CentOS and Kfreebsd.

Psensor should now working fine on CentOS 6. Psensor-server compilation requires some packages which are not available in the official repositories but it has been reported that you can get them from the EPEL repositories. Thanks to Joe Henley for his help on fixing CentOS issues.

Psensor can be compiled on Kfreebsd 6 but unfortunely this distribution does not support lmsensor, hddtemp and xnvctrl, so it can only be used to remotely monitor another computer running psensor-server. Psensor-server is compiling fine but cannot be run due to gtop_get_swap not implemented. Not very useful, but compilation on kfreebsd was required to push psensor to the Debian packages repository of the Linux port.

The v0.6.2.15 binary packages for Debian are available in the unstable repository, you can also get them from: http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/psensor.html.

Psensor v0.6.2.13

Posted on by

The version 0.6.2.13 of Psensor has been released.

This development release adds:

  • GTK+ 3.x support
  • GTK+ Status Icon support: for distribution not supporting Ubuntu Application Indicator, the graph window can be hidden and the traybar icon used to show it. The icon turns to red when a temperature is too high.

Few bugs have been fixed, most notable ones are:

  • fixed support of microhttpd >= 0.9.2
  • fixed support of libnotify 0.5.2
  • fixed compilation with ATI/AMD GPUs support (for Fedora)

Thanks to Lubos Stanek who submitted few patches (mostly concerning Fedora) for this release.

Full list of changes can be retrieved from NEWS file.

Source can be downloaded from: http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files/ .

There is now a Psensor Google+ page.

Psensor v0.6.2.12

Posted on by

Psensor v0.6.2.12 has been released, it adds an option to restore the position and size of the main window.

For Ubuntu, ppa:jfi/psensor-unstable is going to be updated with this version, then ppa:jfi/psensor if no packaging issues are found.

v0.6.2.12 is now the last stable version of Psensor. For the list of new features since previous stable version (v0.6.1.10), you can consult the NEWS file.

I plan to upload this version into the Debian testing repository in coming weeks and hope that it will be « autosynced » to Ubuntu Precise (next Ubuntu LTS release).

As usual, you can download the source archive from: http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files.

Psensor, restore window position and size

Posted on by

I have added to Psensor the capability to restore the position and the size of the main window.

Open the ‘preferences’ of Psensor and check ‘Restore window position and size’ to enable this new feature.

The position of the divider widget between the graph and the list of sensors is also managed but there is a bug when set at position 0 (closed to the left of the window).

You can give it try by compiling Psensor from SVN or use the Ubuntu PPA: ppa:jfi/psensor-daily-trunk.

It will be available in the next development release which should be 0.6.2.12.

Psensor v0.6.2.11

Posted on by

Psensor version 0.6.2.11 has been released.

Thanks to the contribution of Christoph Buchner (bilderbuchi), monochrome icons are available for the Ubuntu Application Indicator.

The web interface of psensor-server has been improved and few bugs fixed for Microsoft Internet Explorer v8 and v9.

Psensor v0.6.2.10

Posted on by

Psensor v0.6.2.10 has been released and is now the last development release.

This release contains few changes and bug fixes:

  • Psensor:
    • Added support of CPU usage monitoring.
    • Fixed a major memory leak which occurs when the window is hidden.
    • Fixed an unallocated memory read during termination (race condition).
    • Added experimental support of AMD/ATI GPUs.
  • Psensor server:
    • Added network, cpu load and memory monitoring throw the Web interface.
    • Web interface is now based on JQuery and JQPlot.
    • Web interface: added graph for « lm-sensors » sensors.

You can download the source archive from: http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files or use the PPA ppa:jfi/psensor-unstable for Ubuntu.

Please note that the Web interface is not fully finished (missing some css styling and graph for all kind of sensors), and compilation with AMD/ATI support may require manual build configuration changes for non-Ubuntu distributions. I released earlier than expected in order to provide a fix for the major memory leak bug.

The last stable release of Psensor is 0.6.1.10.

ppastats v0.0.4

Posted on by

Last couple of days, I have do some improvements on ppastats.

Most important changes are concerning the HTML output:

  • based on JQuery and QPlot instead of Google Chart
  • generated a page aggregating all packages of the PPA
  • generated a page for each package version with number of downloads for each Ubuntu release/architecture
  • improved the look of the pages

The command line usage and options have changed, for example:

ppastats jfi ppastats -o /var/www/ppastats

will retrieve the information from ppa:jfi/ppastats and generates the HTML pages into the directory /var/www/ppastats.

Few examples are available at: http://wpitchoune.net/ppastats/ppa.

The source archives can be downloaded from: http://wpitchoune.net/ppastats/files.

ppastats can be installed by using a PPA:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/ppastats
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ppastats

Source code is in a SVN repository: http://wpitchoune.net/svnpub/ppastats.

And finally, thanks to Lekensteyn for reporting some issues and patches.
