Which ones do you use ?


Installed :


opkg install gnome-system-monitor


Nice, but a bit heavy, it uses 50% CPU :/

I've always used "top" from a terminal, which is how I found out not to use Chromium or Arora as they eat up every last scrap of RAM.

That looks nice! Quick question: Can you log the system load?


Would be nice to fire that up and then play some N64 / SNES or start other fullscreen applications and look at the logs afterwards to see how much CPU / RAM they use up.
 
Sounds like an interesting idea. I'm not a Conky expert, but I understand it's extensively configurable with scripts. Might have to dig around the web and see if anyone has already done the ground work.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but what browser do you use?

Midori if I can. And I've switched to browsing the web under the MiniMenu GUI instead of XCFE, which I think has saved maybe 20MB of RAM. I think. I've not tested extensively.


@Gruso - Thanks for the info. I'll install that post haste!

I love this :) , I wonder if could add CPU clock to it, have to look into conky configuration :D


It fun to see the battery going up to about 1A when I have my phone in the usb(to charge it) and thether with it via bluetooth :D (I dont have the usb thether set up :p ) the pandora really looked like a freak machine with a phone attached to it and terminal open. Haha got some strange looks in the train

Unfortunately, I don't think all of the variables here: Conky Variables are supported in the Pandora version. For example, <freq>, which is the variable for current clock speed, is not functioning. It can probably work by leveraging an external shell script the same way battery is used. Anyone get this and some others to work correctly?
