[04:39] hello. i'm in live DVD run Ubuntu Studio v12.04.3 LTS 64 bit. have some Xfce GUI questions..... [04:40] i put this XChat window on Desktop 2 so i can go back and forth. [04:42] in Task Manager, is there a way to monitor live Swap usage? [04:56] waykool99, I have a conky I use. [05:28] waykool99 try $ sudo apt-get install xfce4-systemload-plugin [05:29] you may also want to browse though http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/start [05:29] this is the one in particular that that command installs: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-systemload-plugin [05:36] sorry stochastic. was in Desktop 1, didn't see your message til just now. but thank you. :) [05:42] i needed and loved System Monitor in studio v10.04.4. v12.04's Task Monitor doesn't show needed things. reason: i push my hardware to its limits. often several programs at once, 10-20 file windows, last install of studio v12.04.3 LTS -or- v13.10, installed System Monitor like the old Gnome version. i forget which distro had GUI conflicts that i couldn't fix. [05:44] plus, in 10.04 you could add to Taskbar a small color monitor of 1-6 tasks, if screen real estate became an issue. [05:48] waykool99 if that systemload-plugin isn't detailed enough you may want to do as beldar has suggested and use conky [05:54] ah I've never tried Beldar before. thank you for that. [05:55] ackk i meant conky [05:55] to many windows open. very sorry. [06:25] waykool99, Heh just noticed your post I'm watching a movie, no prob.
