Applet shows forbidden sign icon only

[Nicolas Parducci]

When opening, applet only shows a forbidden/null icon instead of the actual values.

which ubuntu? 32/64? which indicator-sysmonitor?

[Nicolas Parducci (nparducci)]

Ubuntu is Naaty 64 bits.

indicator-sysmonitor is v 0.3.1 running default settings (cpu/mem %)

[Alex Eftimie (alexeftimie)]

Seems like a somehow weird 64bit problem to me. Can anyone else on x64 confirm this?

[Zaki Manian (zmanian)]

I'm seeing this on oneiric x64.

[Andres (arnirim)]

I am seeing it too in oneric 32 with pae extension

Linux xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 3.0.0-12-generic-pae #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 16:37:17 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Yeap, I've got this problem with 11.10 64-bit.
Maybe the stuff it spits out when launching it from the Terminal can help:

~$ indicator-sysmonitor

This looks like a really nifty app so I hope you guys get it figured out soon. Thanks!

I had the same problem on 11.04 amd64. I tried a number of things and eventually found that I had to put an "Indicator Applet" into my panel first, and then System Monitor Indicator will run and work perfectly inside of that.

Hi guys

I got the same bug, I'm on Ubuntu 13.10, before I updated, the indicator was working fine.

[Julian Alarcon (julian-alarcon)]

The error maybe is in this lines:

        self.ind = appindicator.Indicator("indicator-sysmonitor",
          "sysmonitor",
            appindicator.CATEGORY_SYSTEM_SERVICES)
        self.ind.set_status(appindicator.STATUS_ACTIVE)
        self.ind.set_label("Init...")

Maybe "sysmonitor" is now not a valid icon?

Related bug in Ubuntu 13.04 64bits (fresh install)

Firstly I had to install this to get started:

$ sudo apt-get install python-appindicator

After that, indicator-sysmonitor runs but shows a unexpected forbidden/null icon (it doesn't appear in ubuntu 13.04)

$ indicator-sysmonitor
/usr/bin/indicator-sysmonitor:482: Warning: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.38.0/./gobject/gsignal.c:2475: signal 'child-added' is invalid for instance '0x2e92110' of type 'GtkMenu'
  self.ind.set_menu(self.menu)
