    Question Need help with missing values in GKrellm

    I have a strange thing happening with my GKrellm installation over time on four computers. For some reason I keep losing the cpu % utilization value in several cpu panels. The graphs display but that is all that is in the panel. Right now on this computer I have CPU6, CPU9 and CPU10 not labeled for percentage of utilization. And just today I lost the utilization value of the composite cpu panel at the top of the application.

    On another computer I am missing the utilization for cpu6. And another computer is missing the utilization for cpu0.

    I have never been able to find anything in the GKrellm configuration menus that changes the appearance or visibility of the utilization printout in the panel. I can change the graphing to split user and system, but nothing toggles the utilization off and on. I have reinstalled GKrellm several times and never been able recover the lost numbers. Obviously, there are configuration files leftover after a uninstall that I am missing.

    Anyone else having this issue and have figured out a solution?

    I have GKrellm installed .. so I have just run the command ..

    sudo locate gkrellm

    to find where all the config files are.
    I saw some in /snap/core/...

    Thank you. I have finally located where the files that control gkrellm are located. I found a file called user-config located at /home/keith/.gkrellm2/ that contained a list of the cpus and their attribute. The cpu panels that were missing the utilization had a 0 instead of a 1 in an attribute named cpu extra_info for each cpu. The file says the file should not be edited.

    ### GKrellM user config. Auto written, do not edit (usually) ###

    But I went ahead and edited the cpu_extra_info attributes for the missing value panels and now I have all my utilization values back for all 24 cpus.
