What happens is that because bubblemon cannot get a list of available network interfaces from libgtop (the library used for all load measuring), it blindly asks for the load of a bunch of common network interfaces like eth0, ppp0 and the likes. On a few systems (not mine unforturnately), when a request is made for an unknown network interface, the kernel tries to find a module supporting that network interface. Repeat this a couple of times per second, and you get the results you are seeing.
If you check your /var/log/messages you should see what I mean. I think Juan is working on a preferences panel that would enable you to shut off network load measuring.
The absolutely best thing would be if you could find out what makes *your* system try to load a module for any unknown network interface. A few people have tried this and failed :-(. An easier test case you can try for provoking this is doing "/sbin/ifconfig asdffdsafdsa" as any user.

Hi,I have downloaded the source code bubblemon-2.0.1-2 and compiled it under RedHat8. The applet seems to be running fine but the moment I start the applet the CPU goes to 100% and the HDD keeps thrashing. Once I remove the applet, the CPU and HDD goes to normal again.Please help. Thanks. Nazmul Hossain. _______________________________________________ Bubblemon-list mailing list address@hidden http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bubblemon-list
