I have the exact same issue

[vjayer]

Same here. In the meantime for a workaround, is there a config file we can modify to change the defaults?

In the quick test I performed, everything works correctly: After disabling "% CPU" column in "System Monitor Preferences" dialog:

$ dconf dump /org/mate/system-monitor/proctree/
[/]
col-8-visible=false

col-8-visible is the 9th element in titles array, zero-based numbering: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-system-monitor/blob/2b767be06f5b5b602e56740275784bb9bf3474c3/src/proctable.cpp#L261

@rbuj are you on master or on 1.26.0? Because I just found that this PR https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-system-monitor/pull/224 might have fixed this and should be in a new release 1.26.1.

[rbuj]

I tried it on version 1.26.0, using the fedora 36 package.

[rbuj]

I reproduced the issue using --disable-wnck, and #224 fixed it, since the index COL_MEMXSERVER must be avoided.

CFLAGS="-Wconversion -Wunused-macros -Wunused-parameter" CXX=clang++ CC=clang ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-debug --enable-compile-warnings=maximum --disable-wnck && make &> make.log && sudo make install

[mbkma]

ok, then #224 should be included in a new 1.26.1 release.
