Summary: multiload-applet-2's "network use" graph is almost
useless
Product: Ubuntu
Version: unspecified
Platform: i386
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: gnome-applets
AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
ReportedBy: dooglus at gmail.com
QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com
Gnome's system monitor can put a small graph of network usage in the panel. The
graph it shows is automatically scaled, so it is impossible to tell whether the
network is busy or not.
Sometimes I have a steady 1k per second of transfer and the graph shows a high
level and tooltip tells me that network is 90% in use. Other times I can be
downloading 200k per second from a bursty torrent and see network 5% in use.
The autoscaler doesn't give any indication of what scale it is using, which
makes it impossible to interpret the graph.
The disk usage graph also uses the autoscaler, and so presumably suffers from
the same problem.
