I try to start indicator-muliload from the command line, but it does not start:

$ indicator-multiload

   GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Application does not handle command line arguments

$ indicator-multiload --version

   System Load Indicator 0.4

Hi, thanks for reporting this issue and help to make Ubuntu better.

I think that this is the same which is describe here: #1327002

You can not open indicator-multiload a second time.

When you killall indicator-multiload and than start indicator-multiload it from command line it should be work.

Bests,
Torsten

Correction!:

I just noticed that

> it has started
> indicator was not visible (since 'Ambient' = grey on grey)

I right clicked and set the color scheme to a different one.

Hi Torsten,

thank you for your fast reply!
Indeed, it had already started (but I did not see it (grey on grey, in
ambient mode)).

I like the indicator a lot,
it is a very cool tool!!

Greetings,
Thomas.
