Development snapshot for Ubuntu

Posted on by

Some improvements has been added last weeks to Psensor, most important ones are:

  • added support of Fahrenheit temperature unit.
  • redesigned Psensor preferences window.
  • added support of the atasmart library.
  • gtk2 is no more supported, Psensor is now requiring gtk3.

For more information please look at the NEWS file.

As I do not plan to release the 0.7.0.0 soon, a development snapshot has been pushed to the Psensor unstable repository for Ubuntu Natty, Oneiric and Precise.

You can give it a try by using:

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

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 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.
