Cinnamon + indicator-multiload

Hi there! I'm having indicator-multiload installed and running. Sill, Cinnamon does not display it. Google seems to dislike my question. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Kalsan

Re: Cinnamon + indicator-multiload

What's the actual name of the applet? Is the "Multi-Core System Monitor" (also known as "multicore-sys-monitor@ccadeptic23")? That one works for me.

Have you updated all your applets recently?

Re: Cinnamon + indicator-multiload

"indicator-multiload" is the exact name. Its AUR page: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/indicator-multiload/
It runs fine under XFCE, but it won't show up on Cinnamon. This is weird, since it's just an indicator (if I understand this right), just like the Dropbox icon etc.
I update my software using yaourt. As indicator-multiload seems to be a tray icon and not an applet, that's the way to update it too, right?

No idea then...Thing is that Cinnamon has a notification applet and a system tray, where other DEs have a notifications tray (like MATE and XFCE), so that might have something to do with it.

Re: Cinnamon + indicator-multiload

Maybe I should go to the Cinnamon forums for that. Weird is that Google says some have done it successfully, so I don't know if it's because of arch.

Re: Cinnamon + indicator-multiload

OK so I tried to start indicator-multiload from the console and it doesn't even load: segmentation fault. It still works under XFCE though! Just Cinnamon is affected.
Does this make anything clearer?

Could you please post the exact terminal output when you try and run it from the terminal please?

Re: Cinnamon + indicator-multiload

Well, it's rather disappointing:
<code>$ indicator-multiload
Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben)
[user@hostname ~]$
</code>
Which corresponds to my translation above.
