Description: This plasmoid displays CPU Load (User, System, Nice, IOWait).
Install: 1) if you install kde4 not in /usr/lib/kde4 then update Makefile with correct path to it in line: cd build ; cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4
2) Run "make clean all install" in plasmoid top dirLast changelog:
Version 0.3.2 + add support for kde 4.3.0 + transparent background + grey-black-white color scheme by default
Version 0.3.1 + add support for kde 4.2.0
Version 0.3 + now default colors match Oxygen color theme
Version 0.2 + configuration interface implemented + cpu name displays correctly now
Hey, i got problem with your great applet, i adjust some colors but when i restart system it goes back to default, its annoying. Can you tell me where Cpuload should store those settings and why it doesn't do that?
Thanks in advance
Confirm.
On openSUSE and KDE 4.3.5 cpuload doesn't save configurations. It changes ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc file, so even edit by hand doesn't help.
I've even set chmod 555 to that file, so it's not changed, but still the applet restored to default.
Does it have any other config file?
Thanks in advance.
Plain Jane Kubuntu Karmic 9.10. Got this to install on my home machine but not at work.
Please advise.
I get this error when I try the install:
kde-desktop:~/Downloads/KDE/Plasmoids/cpuload$ make clean all install
rm -Rf build
mkdir -p build
cd build ; cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4

Using kubuntu 9.04 with default kde 4.2, i can't remove cpuload-applet.
Removing it and re-login always reappears. I made the mistake adding three cpuload-applets and now none can;t be removed.
Any ideas?
try to removeall plasmoid instances, then restart plasma (kquitapp plasma ; plasma &) If doesn't help stop plasma and edit file ~/.kde/share/config/plasmarc
Hi
It's my everyday use plasma applet - first of all - thanks you - great job :)
I have some suggestions
- use better (compliant with ksysguard) color scheme - or just use those defined in ksysguard if there'e possibility - I've set up my version this way - I guess it's a bit more readable:

- add option for setting update interval (currently it's hardcoded to 0.5s or sth like this)
- well - maybe extend and add network traffic meter as well (the other plasma network monitor is really bad - it should be done the same way as your cpuload monitor)

Thank you! :)

There is possibility to change colors, so I'll leave this for now
>- add option for setting update interval (currently it's hardcoded to 0.5s or sth like this)
Will be in next version.

Don't know, if I have time on cristmas holidays...
you've kept the build directory before posting it :P
root@refused:build# make
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/alexey/BattleZone/kde4/plasmoids/cpuload" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
Just run `make clean all install` in plasmoid top dir ;)
If you installed kde4 not in /usr/lib/kde4 then update Makefile with correct path "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4"
some feature requests ;)
is support of the resize is planned?
Can i set the font size (the display of the processor type is cut here, i can see only the lower half of the letters.
Best regards
Jörg
Yes, I'm planning to add configuration interface with such params as: font, colors, background table size, etc. Also I'll add preview before saving configuration ;)

support for multi_core or multi_cpu????
yes, it will display cumulative cpu usage.

I think you need to install KDE4 development packages.
