[Solved] conky displaying incorrect ram usage

Conky isn't subtracting the cached memory, is there a subtraction function?
"${mem} - ${cached}"
displays:
"1.11Gib - 770.53Mib"
Is there anyway to show just the value of the actual ram being used?
$mem just displays the 1.11gib

Toggle the "no_buffers" setting in your config:
no_buffers yes

Conky display abnormal CPU usage

The CPU usage in conky is always more than 50%. I have a dual-core T2300.
All the CPU related variable: ${cpu}, ${cpu0}, ${cpu1}, ${cpu2} are at least 50%.
It's very confusing.
Anyone can help me?

i have a similar problem, in an athlon xp cpu and 512 ram conky use no more than 5% cpu usage, but in my new computer, amd 5200+ 1 gig ram, with the same .conkyrc file it was 10%-20%... so yes... something in the hard or config makes conky needs more power, but dont know why, i switch to gkrellm so i have more functionality thanks to its plugins from AUR, less cpu usage, and can put it inside the fluxbox slit, with fbpager, and make the slit always on top so if i maximize windows, them always show, gkrellm uses no more than 5% cpu usage and can display a lot of important things

[solved] Conky - display GPU freq?

I want to get conky to display a "Current Clocks (core)" value of this command:
$ aticonfig --od-getclocks
Default Adapter - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
Core (MHz) Memory (MHz)
Current Clocks : 110 405
Current Peak : 600 700
Configurable Peak Range : [300-600] [700-700]
GPU load : 0%
Ideally, I would also like to have it show Current Memory, but because of the layout of the output, I have no idea how do do it.
I tried something like that:
${color pueple}${execi 60 aticonfig --od-getclocks | perl -ne 'print $1 if /Current*?: (\d+)./;'} MHz$voffset
but it displays nothing.

Good point. But apparently Conky can't spell either because it displays the value in purple...

Does this command in a terminal correctly display what you'd like to see in conky?

If it does not, that's where I'd start -- construct the correct command and only then try adding it to conky.
It doesn't. But that's the best I could come up with. I don't know how this works so I tried copying my old nvidia setup.

There are all kinds of ways to parse that output to get the values you want, including the memory. There are also other ways to get the GPU frequency. What is the output of

[SOLVED] Audacious displays incorrect song times

For seemingly random songs, Audacious displays the correct time when I load them on the playlist - but when I click on it and it starts playing (let's say a 4 minute song) the song time will suddenly change to something like 26 minutes... o_O For other songs, this doesn't happen at all. Very odd.

[SOLVED] How to see real Linux Ram usage ? (diferent values)

Hi everyone,
I am using Linux (Ubuntu at start and now Arch Linux) since 2004. I never had problems to understand it but now I have a problem that I cannot understand.
I have 2 computers (one is mine Asus 1215N and one is from my girlfriend Asus 1005HA), the first one has Arch Linux with Gnome3, and the seconde one has Arch Linux with Xfce4.
When I check the ram I get this (on my Asus 1215N):
(Terminal 'free') :
Total - 2055584
Used - 497792
Buffers/Cache Used - 164288
(Gnome System Monitor)
162,4 Mib (8,1%) de 2,0Gb
Conky
Ram Usage 488Mib/1.96Gib - 24%
So, apparently Gnome System Monitor only show me the Buffers/Cache Used memory (isn't that wrong ?) and the other two show me the "real" Ram usage (~488Mb)
Now on the seconde laptop conky show me the Buffers/Cache Used memory (when i look at it I see for example 120Mib but when I look at 'free' he says to me that the used memory is 500Mib.
So right now I don't really undestand who's wrong and who's right... did my Gnome3 really use 400mb at startup ? Did the xfce of my girlfriend really uses ~70-120mb at startup ?
(PS: we have the same conkyrc file.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your help. But if the Buffers/Cache free is the real Free ram as I understand, then Free Memory is the allocated for software (but free)... That seem's good, but I have a question, I have made a teste, when I tried to open a lot of Chromium tabs (Chromium is a good example as it uses a LOT of ram..)
Then the Buffers/Cache Free was at 1200Mib / 2000Mib (At free -m)
and Free Memory was at 19500 Mib / 2000Mib (At free -m)
And then the system starts using swap...
So if the Buffers are the really free ram and the Free Memory the all allocated memory and free why doesn't he cleans the allocated/cache before creating a new and starting using the swap ?
You seem to have the terms mixed up. Used memory is the cached memory and the memory allocated for applications grouped together. +/- buffers/cache is only the memory allocated for applications (It basically means used memory - buffers and cache).
As to why it starts swapping, I have no idea. It shouldn't, unless it's really out of RAM.
aliasbody wrote:Ps : And why did I got 2 diferent values from 2 pc's with the same conky configuration ? (since the first laptop show Free Ram and the second onde show Buffers/Cache)
That's very strange too. Are you absolutely sure that the configs are the same? Sounds like yours is missing the no_buffers option.

[SOLVED] high ram usage

Hi !
I have the following problem . i 've installed kdemod3-base (the minimum edition) and when i boot the ram usage is about 300 mb ram . After a while , after using ktorrent or firefox my ram goes up to 950 mb and i have only 1 gb ram . this is what i get with ony konqueror open :
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1010 944 66 0 12 809

does anyone know what might be the issue ?
thanks for your help!

I hope you know that RAM is faster that HDD, so if you have a Ferrari (RAM) and a biiiig truck (HDD) and you want to drive really fast, which one will you pick? Sure, the truck can hold a ton (or rather several tons) of things, but it's not a speed daemon. If you have the Ferrari just standing in your driveway all day long you're not really using it right, right? On the other hand, if you use your sports car for everything but the toughest jobs (which require the truck), you can feel the performance you payed for - that's the cache thing.
No offense, but maybe sb knows if there's such a thing as manpages for dummies? ;-)

[SOLVED] Arch64 high RAM usage...

I recently installed Arch64 on my MacBook and everything works fine, however I noticed its using very much RAM in comparison to my 32 bit workstation system (which has 4GB, not all seen o/c in 32 bit, while my laptop has only 2GB). Right now, with only X, musca, firefox and 3 urxvt terms open its using about 25% of it. which comes down to about 500MB. I didn't mind that much until just now I've seen it going up to 64% after I've launched matlab and it remained at this number after I closed it. My system is still responsive and fast, but I'm afraid I'm running out of RAM quite fast this way...thus if this cannot be explained or fixed I'm forced to go back to Arch32.
Is anybody else experiencing this ? I'm running kernel version 2.6.33.4-1 btw, and xorg 1.7.6-3.

Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
And firefox is KNOWN to be a memory grubby hog.
Let the kernel do it's job. Unless you are specifically having issues(100% ram usages and high swap usage) there is little to worry about.
Also relating to Arch32 v Arch64.64 has a larger memory address(64 against 32) apps will use more RAM.
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2009 1588 420 0 67 601

The time code was originally {time %B %d. %Y | %I:%M:%S} I expanded it to see if it might have been the issue. It wasn't, so in the course of writing this post, I swapped it back.
Tint2 doesn't have this issue, but I feel that the time off to the side disrupts the look of the bar. I haven't tinkered with it enough to put the time in the center, between the two desktop bars, if it is even possible.
Ok.. I just double checked myself to make sure that tint2 wasn't displaying incorrectly, and it is, so this is something other than just conky. Hmm... I did just reset my locale, maybe a restart would help. (That sounds like typical Windows advice!)
I will report back after the reboot.
BRB
Update:
Restart did not fix the issue. I do find this a little strange that my clock is telling me that I am sitting in the center of the Atlantic Ocean, and I have no way of resetting it.
Ok... easiest solve ever. I feel like an idiot.

Hmm. This could be a good thing. What does Conky say about the Dow Jones Industrial Average three hours from now? And I'd like to check back with you on Superbowl Sunday, if I may....
Dow 1.53% down. I am sure the Superbowl's scores will be coming in on schedule.
Thanks for the note about time sync'ing. I may just do that.

Kernel_task high RAM usage

Hi everybody,
I have same problem on both iMacs i use (iMac9,1 and iMac10,1). Both updated from Maveriks to Yosemite some months ago and since last 2 weeks kernel_task "eat" to much RAM.
I tried to solve with all kind of resets, move files from ACPI_SMC _PlatformPlugin.kext, hardware test, reinstall and restore from time machine and finaly also with a complete clean reinstall (without TM restore!). But kernel_task run with too much RAM usage.
I feel frustrated and I seem to be back like Windows users!
So, i think problem could be associated to some software upgrade (DropBox? Skype? Osx update? don't know). Anyone knows if there are usefull debugs system log for kernel_task usage?
This is log from EtreCheck of iMac9,1

On this report kernel_task ram is not displayed but you can see it on task manager image
Any help is apreciated.
Thank you!

There is nothing wrong with your kernel_task memory usage. It is consistent with the amount of RAM you have installed.
The kernel_task manages virtual memory page tables. The more RAM the the more table space consumed. 800MB memory usage for kernel_task is in line with having 8GB of RAM in your Mac.
My 16GB Macbook Pro kernel_task has 1.15GB of memory. People with 32GB Macs, have more like 1.5GB. And Macs with 4GB have something around 500MB more or less.
Tangent observation. Unless you have a Paid LogMeIn account, the free version has been discontinued, and you should most likely remove the LogMeIn components via the LogMeIn uninstaller. Your use of TeamViewer.com is a good substitute for the free LogMeIn.
You system has been up for just 7 and a half hours
    OS X 10.10.2 (14C109) - Time since boot: 7:21:25
But you have
    117.96 GB    Page-ins
That averages out to 4.6MB per second.
Chances are you could either benefit from not running as many concurrent things (maybe remove the large number of kernel extensions, launch daemons, launch agents you have installed), maybe only run VirtualBox when you really need to run Windows (assuming it is Windows, but I guess it could be Linux or Solaris X86), or have fewer tabs open in your web browser, or run fewer Apps, especially the big memory hungry kind)
Or maybe you just need more RAM if you must have all these things installed and running all the time.
Just a thought. But it is not kernel_task that is causing problems. That is normal.

[SOLVED] Conky troubles with Gnome

I don't know if I am making some obvious, easily correctable mistake, or if this is a known bug. I have looked on the wiki and all I could find about Conky on Gnome was a short little thing that caused this problem:

Thats because you keep exhibiting the same behaviours, despite being asked not to.
I'll link you (again) to the Forum Etiquette. Please read all of it.
Don't expect that help vampirism will be tolerated here, it won't.
I'll also remind you of the Arch Way
This user-centric design necessarily implies a certain "do-it-yourself" approach to using the Arch distribution. Rather than pursuing assistance or requesting a new feature to be implemented by developers, Arch Linux users have a tendency to solve problems themselves and generously share the results with the community and development team – a "do first, then ask" philosophy.

The song titles are displayed incorrectly, how do I fix this?

Ever since an update of itunes a couple of months ago, the titles have been displayed incorrectly in my library. I listen to a lot of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese music and after the update the information turned into squares. I went online and tried the much given solution of converting the id3 tags. This resulted in all my songs (even the english ones) turning to Chinese script when I reversed unicode, which was solved by reversing it again. However after trying all the id3 versions I am now left with a part of my songs being displayed as ?????? and with the other, largest part having the correct names but with the symbol Ƞ spread throughout the titles, which is annoying to say the least.
Other programmes on my computer display the different scripts just fine, and I have Japanese and Korean installed so as to be able to write it. The songs are also still displayed correctly if I acces them in their folders.
I am kind of losing hope after trying to find a solution on the internet for a while now, and have even re-installed itunes completely, to no avail.
If anyone has any suggestions or possible solutions, I'd be very grateful.

Hi Treenr3,
Sounds like you have been on the right track with regard to troubleshooting this issue. It may be worth going over the font troubleshooting in the following article, just to double check (it refers to a previous version of iTunes, but the troubleshooting steps should be similar).
iTunes 9: Font text is incoherent or appears in a different language
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3042
It may also be worth trying some isolation troubleshooting in new test user account with just a couple of the tracks that are having issues to see if it persists.

RAM usage increases with time, problem?

Hi all,
Whislt I've been playing with linux on the side for a few years the past few weeks have been my first foray into using linux as my main OS, in the form of Arch. It's been a steep learning curve but I'm enjoying the experience and wealth of information. Previous flirts with Linux have been groping in the dark, pasting code from the internet and avoiding the terminal where possible.
Since going Arch full time I've noticed the RAM usage seems to increase when I leave it alone for a few hours. I'm running an old, around 2005 I think, Advent Laptop with 512MB, or 466MB according to free -m, RAM. I've allocated 2GB to swap which it dips into occasionally.
Typically I've been leaving open luakit & urxvt whislt running Awesome. If I leave it for a few hours and return the RAM has jumped from 30% or so to 80 or 90%. A reboot solves this.
I had a look around the interwebs but this is the first time my wed-fu has not unearthed one of those wonderful arch articles/post on what to do.
Any suggestions, or anything I can do to clarify the issue?

It does indeed, but only while the system is being actively accessed, as far as I know. An idle system (i.e. with no filesystem access) will have a stagnant file cache.
So I guess the question here would be, is your PC idle while you're "leaving" it? Do you use it as a fileserver, webserver, database, etc, or do you ssh in perform various tasks? Does 'free' report your free '-/+ buffers/cache' value as something minute?

[SOLVED] Conky, LM-sensors and hwmon

Hi,
I used the guide found at the forum thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43397 (post #4) to get my GPU and CPU temperature shown in conky by using LM-sensors. It all works fine, except for a single little error...
My conky-setup for the temperatures says
${color lightgrey} GPU: $color${hwmon 0 temp 1}°C ${color lightgrey}CPU Core 0: $color${hwmon 1 temp 1}°C ${color lightgrey}CPU Core 1: $color${hwmon 2 temp 1}°C
but when showing in conky, the "°C" part becomes "Å°C"??
Can anyone see why this happens? I've attached my whole .conkyrc below:

[T410i] RAM usage, hight temperature, battery

Hi all, in this pc I've got two OSs. Ubuntu 12.04 and windows 7. With the fist I haven't got any problems, the RAM (3GB) usage is usually around 33%, but always under 50%. The temperatures are high, but it is quite normal, maybe the termal paste has low power to cold down them.
The problems arrive with windows 7. I disabled a lot of startup application, but after the boot, RAM usage is already over 50%. With Avira-realtime, after 2 minutes the percentage was over 80%. I disabled it.
Mozilla used a lot of memory too, now I'm just writing this post with chrome and nothing else, and the RAM usage is at 72%.
The CPU temperatures are always over 48°C (Here in Italy it is summer) but with ubuntu are less.
These problems are increased with battery, It is impossible to use the pc. I did a scan with malwarebytes (in safe mode) and everything seemed ok. How can I solve at least the RAM problem in win 7?
Regards

256 MB of ram. I too enjoy a featurefull desktop, but speed is equally imperative. e17 gives you something of both worlds.
quick question. It seems the only thing I really need from my xorg.conf is the keyboard configuration as it figures out the rest pretty well without a configuration file. Could I delete everything else from xorg.conf and have it autoconfigure the rest?

Ever increaing RAM usage of flashPlayer not shown in memory profiler of FlashBuilder

I have a flash application created with Flex in FlashBuilder which uses the Stage3D-API (Away3D-Library is used).
In this flash application 3D-objects are created and added to scene and they are also removed/disposed again, and then they are created/added again.
Performing these scene altering operations the RAM usage of the flashPlayer process (monitored in Windows7-Taskmanager) steadily increases by big amounts (lets say 20MB).
On the other hand the Memory-profiler does not show any such increases at all. Regarding to memory profiler the application still uses bascially the same amount of memory (the line stays flat).
There are some objects marked as loitering, but they donet seem to build-up. And their total amount is (if at all) 0,3MB.
After a while of 3d-scene altering operations (adding, removeing objects) the application/flash-player crashes, most possibly to not being able to allocate more RAM (Taskmanager shows RAM almost completely used up by flashPlayer-process). The application does not exit due to 3d-resource related limits like vertex-buffers, but here are now my questions:
Questions:
a) Are there areas of RAM-usages a (stage-3d) application uses up, which can not be profiled by FlashBuilder?
For exmaple: Is it possible that some objects (maybe stage-3d related) that hold onto some areas of memory/RAM which do not show up in memory profiler?
c) Is the versioning of used components (flashPlayer, FlashBuilder or used Flex-SDK) in an way relevant when memory profiling an application? It it possible that i dont properly see the used memory by my application because i might have old version of involved components?
d) Do you have any other idea what might be the cause here for increased RAM-usage or why it does not show up in memory profiler? I mean at least i expected to see it in memory profiler.
e) Generally i understand that the flashPlayer allocates RAM as it sees fit, and that its not the same amount of memory my application currently uses. But if my application seems not to use/demand any more memory (at least thats what the profiler tells me) i dont understand why flashPlayer allocates more and more memory - even to the point of crashing. Any ideas here?

Long shot but...
When I had an issue with Flash Builder 4.6 PC mobile in regards to the java heap problem I discovered myself that my project had content which apparently blew out the FB threshold. In particular my mp3 files (3 units) were of too much high quality (360 kbps), I had to scale down the files to 128 kbps. This is an extreme shame.
I am currently running these threshold tests to see if my mp3s can be of better kbps. I did hack my CONFIG scripts in the sdk folders in the installation location but that did not solve my issue. LESSON LEARNED: FB apparently employs the web logic where reduced files equal better performance.
