Hi,
I've an bi quad cores opteron (amd64), also have FreeBSD 10.2 with XFCE4 for GUI.
I've issue to System Monitor and Htop programs doesn't work. When I started it all nothing to do! The manual's commands works fine but I want GUI, for example to see my 8 cores, memory, and hard drive information.

After search to Google I just found CLI commands.
My questions :
1: How I can to use the gnome system monitor ?
2: Why does Htop return this?
Code: 
Error: could not read procfs (compiled to look in /compat/linux/proc)

Regards
Philippe
 
Htop is Linux only program. This is exactly the reason why I don't like when the software is ported to the non-native OS without considering ramifications. It could possible work with Linux emulation. I would very strongly discourage you from using htop on FreeBSD and suggest that you learn how to use top(1). As of Gnome system monitor I am guessing (I don't use Gnome in any shape or form) that Gnome port of FreeBSD is not 100% functional since Gnome have Linux dependencies. That is just my guess.

It. works through Linux binary emulation on NetBSD as well. It is a wrong tool if you are using BSDs. Htop and atop are must for any Linux system admin.

Idon't know where Oko find that GNOME is not functional on FreeBSD but on my FreeBSD 10.2 (amd64) GNOME 3.16 works without problems.
I do not start GNOME with gdm because I boot computer in console and than I use startx and GNOME System Monitor works.
 
Hi,
I know i've another quad cores and 2 laptop with FreeBSD 11 and 10.2 under Gnome 3, the Gnome system monitor work fine.
But under XFCE4 it's wonderful !
