I posed the following question:

"I am running 2.2.0-4 on Ubuntu 10.10 and Gnome and really like Cairo-Dock. When I enable the system monitor the icon appears but the values are not displayed on the icon. However, I can display them on the label.

I have set the configuration to "on icon". I do use fairly large fonts if that might effect the display of the values.: The Application Font is Sans 14. The Fixed Width font is Monospace 14. The others are all 12 point fonts.

I would appreciate any suggestions.
"

and received the following suggestion from Fabounet:

"maybe you could try to delete ~/.config/cairo-dock/extras/gauge, and restart the dock, so that the gauge will be updated.
you can also try to detach the applet, and enlarge it, just to see if it works for a bigger icon.
If the problem persists, please come on our forum on glx-dock.org, it's more convenient to talk
"

When I looked in ~/.config/cairo-dock/extras there was no guage subdirectory. When I detach the applet I see no values displayed. I have changes some of my font selections back to the default values and that did not seem to have any effect.

Thanks in Advance,
Don

Hello,

Which gauge do you use? Or do you use a graphic?

What I am trying to use is System Monitor. I turn it on in the System section of the Cairo-Dock Configuration GUI.

Ok,

Is it possible to do a right click on this applet in order to configure it and see which gauge is chosen. Is it possible to try with another? Is it better?

Sorry, I misunderstood you question.

The gauge I am using is the default (Local) Turbo-night-fuel. I have tried several others, but none display the values unless I hover over them with the mouse pointer. Perhaps the behavior has been changed from what was done before?

As an aside, What does Local or Net mean?

do you use the OpenGL version ?
if so, could you please try to run the dock without opengl (cairo-dock -c) and see if the problem occurs too ?

When I stopped and restarted Cairo-Dock without OpenGL from the Applications menu, it had the same appearance as before.

When I stopped and restarted it using (cairo-dock -c) in an xterm window still no values but a black background. It also produced the following messages:

well there seems to be nothing wrong in the outputs, so maybe it's just a small refresh problem, since the values are displayed once you hover the icon.
are they correctly upgraded after that ?

As an aside, What does Local or Net mean?
"Net" are the ones that are on our server.

Yes, they are updated. That is, I see a different value each time I hover over the icon.
