Hi there!

Is there a possibility to stack the curves (for example: buffer, cache and application RAM) one atop of the other like it used to be in KDE3?

I mean in a way that if
- the applications use 1 GB of RAM
- the cache uses 2 GB of RAM
- the buffer uses 4 GB of RAM
* the application RAM curve gets drawn at 1 GB
* the cache RAM curve gets drawn at 3 GB
* and the buffer RAM curve gets drawn at 7 GB.

The values displayed like this just gave such a usable view of what was going on, including some history.

Should be possible, as one of the various graph options. You will probably have to create your own page to do this.

KInfoCenter comes with a preconfigured view of memory like this.

Sorry, but you misunderstood me. kinfocenter shows stacked bar graphs, but I want to get stacked curves. Where one can see the history of used RAM.

I also searched everything I could find on the internet for 12 hours, but found exactly nothing, that is why I came here to ask. As I am not a KDE developer, reading the code is too much for me, I would need a year to understand what it does.
There also is no option in the settings dialogue to switch on this behaviour, but maybe in some config file something could be done about this?

Any suggestions anyone?

Edited: I just saw, you mean the code of conduct when you speak of code. Sorry if I offended somebody, but I at least think I did not do something impolite or disturbing by asking this question here.

@gustl: That would be my signature. You didn't do anything wrong.

* bcooksley misunderstood your question.
You could add multiple plotters to the same graph item, which should achieve the desired effect.

This doesn't work bcooksley~;) It's a feature available in about KDE4.1 but removed for some reason(a mistake?;) in KDE4.2. I also brainstormed this:
bring-back-stack-b ... 44850.html

It is possible, on 4.3 at least. Try creating a new sheet, adding a sensor, then dragging one on top of the existing one. worked fine here.

That is how it used to work in 3.x but it is no longer available in 4.2. If you say that in 4.3 it is working again ( :thumbs_up: ), that is OK for me.
I just thought that it was a feature that was removed for some reason, but apparently it was a bug (or a removal of buggy code).

What would also be cool is to be able to switch stacking of curves on and off. Because for stacking RAM values it is very useful, but I would not want to stack processor temperatures one on top of the other (I have 4 sensors).

How is it solved? I've just tried it in KDE 4.4 and it didn't work )-: Also tried in 4.3, also without luck. Maybe someone could post working .sgrd file?

Indeed this doesn't seem to be possible.
