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 has been released and is now the last development release.
This release contains few changes and bug fixes:
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.
Last couple of days, I have do some improvements on ppastats.
Most important changes are concerning the HTML output:
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.
Thanks to a contribution from Thodoris Greasidis, an experimental support of ATI/AMD GPU has been added into Psensor. Both gpu temperatures and fan speeds are available.
It will be part of the next version of Psensor. For the moment, you can give it a try by compiling Psensor directly from the source repository.
To compile Psensor with ATI support on Ubuntu:
svn co http://wpitchoune.net/svnpub/psensor/trunk../configure --with-libatiadl=[dir], where [dir] must be the directory where you have extracted the ATI ADL SDK.make clean all install.The SDK is only required for compiling Psensor, you don’t need it to run Psensor as the library ATI ADL is available in the fglrx ubuntu package.
Don’t hesitate to let know whether or not the ATI support is working well with your ATI card. I don’t have personnaly any ATI material to test it.
It has been reported that Psensor with ATI 5850 and 4670 is working well.
Psensor v0.6.2.9 has been released, it fixes minor bugs and adds few improvements for Ubuntu:
The PPA repository ppa:jfi/psensor-unstable has been updated with this version and is now starting automaticaly Psensor during the user session startup.
Please note that the last stable release is still the version 0.6.1.10.
It seems that some users is currently using Psensor mainly for the Ubuntu Application Indicator and notification features. For this usecase, displaying the graph window on startup is not helpful, so I have added the possibility to hide the main window when Psensor is started.
It just requires to edit preferences and enables the option ‘Hide window on startup’.
This feature will be present in the future 0.6.2.9 version. Actually, it can be tested by compiling Psensor from the SVN repository or use the daily PPA.
Psensor v0.6.1.10 is now the last stable release.
It adds only one feature. If compiled with Application Indicator support (Ubuntu), Psensor does not quit when closing the main window. The Application Indicator menu ‘show’ can be used to display the main window.
The PPA ‘ppa:jfi/ppa’ for Ubuntu Lucid, Maverick and Natty has been updated with this new release.
Psensor version 0.6.2.8 is available, this new release fixes few bugs and adds UI features:
For Ubuntu Maverick and Natty it can be easily installed by using a PPA:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/psensor-unstable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install psensor
This release is a development release, the last stable release is still 0.6.1.9.
Since the beginning of this year, it is possible to retrieve the number of package downloads of a PPA by using the Launchpad WebService API. You can get more information from bug 139855 and Launchpad API documentation .
I have quickly hacked a program which displays the number of downloads of a PPA or generates a graph.
It requires the name of the PPA and the name of the owner:
ppastats jfi pidgin Ubuntu Natty amd64 pidgin-libnotify 0.14-4ubuntu10 1589 Ubuntu Natty i386 pidgin-libnotify 0.14-4ubuntu10 2356
Or to generate an HTML page with the graph:
ppastats jfi pidgin --html
The source code can be retrieved from SVN:
svn co http://wpitchoune.net/svnpub/ppastats
The compilation requires the curl and json0 libraries, it can be installed using:
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libjson0-dev
To compile ppastats:
./compile make clean all
Last month, Psensor has been uploaded into the official Debian repositories. As Ubuntu is synchronizing packages from Debian, Psensor is now in the official Ubuntu repository Universe since Oneiric (11.10).
