Net monitor no longer works #488

Closed frankzen closed 4 years ago

frankzen commented 4 years ago

Noticed today that the net monitor no longer works. Version 1.8.1.22 dl'ed and compiled yesterday. According to preferences this is what is being monitored.

NetworkStatusDevice="[ew]*"

Running Debian Bullseye/Sid

I have no idea what the device is called under my distro.

Just discovered it's called eno1. Put that in preferences but still no monitoring. Is there anything else which would affect this ?

The file size of /proc/net/dev was reported as 0 bytes, even though it does have content.

ls -l /proc/net/dev
cat /proc/net/dev

Should work now.

Fixed. Thank you.
