Synopsis
gnome-system-monitor bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated gnome-system-monitor package that fixes one bug and adds one
enhancement is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The gnome-system-monitor utility allows users to graphically view and manipulate
the running processes on the system, and provides an overview of available
resources such as CPU and memory.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The previous version of the gnome-system-monitor utility did not close the
socket when it terminated, which may have rendered it unable to start for the
second time. This update applies a patch that ensures the socket is properly
closed when the utility terminates, and gnome-system-monitor now works as
expected. (BZ#616487)
As well, this update adds the following enhancement:
- Previously, the minimum width of the gnome-system-monitor window was limited
by the minimum width of its content. Consequently, running this utility on a
system with a large number of CPUs caused this window to be very large. This
update adds a horizontal scrollbar to make sure the gnome-system-monitor window
can fit to the screen even when the system has multiple CPUs. (BZ#722866)
All users of gnome-system-monitor are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which fixes this bug and adds this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
