only one cpu is visible on hex core system

[Frank Rueter]

Hi all,

I just iunstalled xosview on a new linux box running Kubuntu 12.10 with kernel version:
uname -r
3.5.0-17-generic

The system has 6 hyper threaded cores:
cat /proc/stat
cpu  66688 2286 31155 10190260 13704 13 226 0 0 0
cpu0 10833 283 5047 837568 2188 13 144 0 0 0
cpu1 11362 127 4989 839379 2037 0 17 0 0 0
cpu2 9866 159 4772 841289 1097 0 13 0 0 0
cpu3 9971 408 4411 839523 3187 0 16 0 0 0
cpu4 11595 218 6111 840568 569 0 6 0 0 0
cpu5 10186 269 4172 838769 3813 0 12 0 0 0
cpu6 331 30 188 859234 120 0 1 0 0 0
cpu7 448 98 266 858895 137 0 0 0 0 0
cpu8 433 150 220 858971 124 0 0 0 0 0
cpu9 516 202 327 858633 192 0 0 0 0 0
cpu10 741 243 395 858374 116 0 10 0 0 0
cpu11 400 95 252 859051 119 0 1 0 0 0

However, xosview only shows a single cpu. I found the mention of the kernel patch in the README but that only seems to apply to older kernels.

Could somebody please help me out? I love xosview and really want to get it to work so I don't have to use the default system monitor.

Thanks!

what version of xosview are you running, perhaps it is an older one?

Could it be the case that it is showing all the cpu's as 1…. i.e. I have mine configured that way or it takes up too much space - and the numbers range from 0-1200% depending on how many cores are in use.

What does your .Xdefaults file look like and how are you invoking it?

BTW, I'll include my .Xdefaults - but note not all settings will work on your computer likely - I have a few customizations to my version that aren't in the main line…

But it might be a start and you might get something running…

thanks astara for the prompt reply. and apolofies for the delay on my part.
I'm running xosview 1.9.3-3 (installed via apt-get) and have no ~/.Xdefaults (all vanilla so far).
However, I solved the porblem by using the Xdefaults and setting:
xosview*cpuFormat: all

The labels for cpu 10 and 11 both read 1 now but I can live with that.

Thanks for your help!!
