Can't be currently upgraded as has rendering issues. See lp:~robert-ancell/gnome-system-monitor/update-3.10.2 for updated packaging.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Also uses GtkHeaderBar which needs to be patched to work in 14.04.

I've installed gnome-system-monitor version 3.10.2-0ubuntu1~trusty1 from ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 (https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3/) and didn't noticed any problems in few weeks.

Why Ubuntu Unicorn and Trusty still has old and buggy gnome-system-monitor 3.8 ?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

@Mantas: how is 3.8 buggy?

The reason why 3.10 is not used has been stated in previous comment, it uses widgets that correctly only under gnome-shell and would be buggy/a regressions for users from other desktop environments

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas (mantas)]

gnome-system-monitor 3.8 has several bugs, some are already reported in Launchpad, see for example
LP bug #1174197 (gnome-system-monitor freezes when reordering columns in procs view), also
LP bug #93847 (Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor)

Btw, are you 100% sure, that 3.10 and 3.12 releases doesn't work correctly in other desktop environments than GNOME-Shell?

The new version got uploaded by mistake to vivid, tagging the bug "block-proposed" to avoid migration

Jackson, do you think you can fix it to not use GtkHeaderBar decoration under Unity since your sync created the issue?

[Jackson Doak (noskcaj)]

I've contacted upstream and it should be fixed for 3.16, so hopefully it will make it to vivid

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks, testing that version I found other issues, the bg is transparent which makes the application quite unusable under Unity... that should be fixed before accepting in it vivid as well

[Tim (darkxst)]

the transparent background is caused by overlay scrollbars. I think larsu is going to look at this at some point, since I couldn't work out how to set the bg on the GtkStack.

[Iain Lane (laney)]

We gave up and blacklisted in g-s-m, uploading the new version with tim's patches nwo. Thanks!
