[xubuntu-users] Using 'gnome-system-monitor' with SSH

[patrick.battistello at orange-ftgroup.com]

Hello,

I recently started using the very nice gnome-system-monitor application
under Xubuntu 8.04, in a professional environment. I found an unexpected
behaviour with the 'Resources window' about CPU, memory and network
usage when the application is being launched from a SSH connection.

More precisely :

- when I connect locally to the Xubuntu 8.04 server, launch application
A (firewall) and gnome-system-monitor from a terminal, I see the system
CPU increasing to around 50% under DoS test trafic (sent by another
Xubuntu server).

- when I connect remotely to the server (with SSH), launch application A
and gnome-system-monitor from the SSH login, I do not see anymore the
CPU increase although the DoS test trafic is still there and application
A is still discarding attack packets (CPU remains below 10%).

It seems that 'gnome-system-monitor' does not show the same CPU/memory
information whether it is launched locally or remotely. By the way, same
thing happens with the 'top' command under the same hypothesis.

Thanks for any help on this topic,

Patrick
