Gnome 3.18 System Monitor with grey widget occupying half window

(I think talk about [gnome-unstable] also belongs in this forum? sorry if not, feel free to move the discussion elsewhere)

Now it's in [testing] with the same problem.

When System Monitor is in the Processes tab, half of the window is occupied by a grey widget that shows nothing and does nothing. Is this happening to others? I tried to report this bug in gnome bugtracker, but I could not find gnome-system-monitor in the list of components.

Upstream 3.18.0.1 seems to take care of it.

Just updated today to Gnome 3.18 from stable and have this exact issue with gnome-system-monitor-3.18.0-1-x86_64. Hopefully a fix will be released soon.

Same here with the stable repos. It's too annoying.

If it's too annoying, you can fix it yourself in the package. You simply need to change the version number from 3.18.0 to 3.18.0.1 in the package's PKGBUILD and makepkg will find a newer version of the sources where the bug is fixed.

gnome-system-monitor is in the AUR? I don't find it.

No, I mean the PKGBUILD for the normal package (not AUR). You can get it through ABS or you could browse and get the files through the Arch packages website.

From here, did you mean? https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … em-monitor

Re: Gnome 3.18 System Monitor with grey widget occupying half window

Yeah, if you never did a change like that, here's what you will see:

After you change the line "pkgver=3.18.0" to "pkgver=3.18.0.1", you run 'makepkg' and it will download the source files. At that point it will break with an error message because the checksum of the source file in the PKGBUILD is different. You then run 'updpkgsums' to fix that. Then you run 'makepkg' again and it will compile without error. 'makepkg -i' will install the result.

Yes, I've updated the sum manually in PKGBUILD and also I use '-sr' makepkg parameters, you know, to install necessary dependencies from official repos and to uninstall dependencies only required in compilation ;D
I didn't know 'updpkgsums' but I've learned a new thing today!

I would like also learn to clone directly from terminal the content of https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … em-monitor to one personal local folder.

Thank you so much!
