[SOLVED] Nvidia gpu memory utilization widget

davide445 · 02-24-2019, 08:40 AM

Using Kubuntu 18.04 LTS I Installed Awesome Widget for better monitoring different parameters.

Able to show GPU utilization and temp from standard parameters (I suppose just read the System Monitor data) but there is no GPU memory parameter to show.

So added a custom script with

Code:

nvidia-smi --query-gpu=utilization.memory --format=csv,noheader

But no data is show even if on bash shell the correct info is displayed. Trying to preview the result I got this message

Code:

Tag: custom1
Value: %1(I18N_ARGUMENT_MISSING)
Info: nvidia-smi --query-gpu=utilization.memory --format=csv,noheader

There is any other command / better widget to obtain the same result?

According to the above list, you've go a few different options such as used and free memory and gpu utilization as well.
utilization.gpu
utilization.memory
memory.total
memory.free
memory.used

Could you utilize any of those and see if they yield data?

Using memory.used is working, thanks!
