Yes, the vm.swappiness default value was discussed/voted/lobbied during betatesting.
I’ll agree that it merits its own dedicated forum topic
(and cherrypick the highlights + referenceces/links toward creating a “Documentation” or “Tips-n-Tricks” topic)Përhaps does the WM rely on an external executable to grab that “MEMStatus”
AFAICT, it does not rely on any external executable
but your comment led me to look here: whereall is MEMStatus referenced within the icewm code?
and a quick read suggests (to me) that a malformed declaration within an icewm .theme file might cause icewm to ignore one or more widgets (including the memstatblahblah widget).[…] might be accidentally missing for aX-16
maybe not (probably not) missing…. but different (customized, and perhaps a typo slipped in)
~~ perhaps a typo exists within one of (or several, or all of) the icewm .theme files shipped in antiX16.If you’re inclined to test that possibility, you can inspect the content of icewm “.theme” files, as shipped in debian jessie package
or visit https://packages.debian.org/jessie/icewm and download the whole sourcecode tarball, extract, and…
(“diff” compare against the content of your existing antiX16 icewm .theme files)^— I’m just “thinking aloud, following a train of thought” here. I’m actually not encouraging you to “do all that”.
Hey, (ding! lightbulb) — maybe only one (or at least not all) of the antiX16 .theme files is affected.
The “solution” (and reasonable troubleshooting step) might be as simple as selecting a different theme.cyrilus31
Which begs asking the question : the CPUStatus (not the MemStatus), while mouse hovering, shows
CPU Load as four figures (like e.g 0.19 0.53 0.71 241). What gives ? I kind of guess the last figure could be number of processes (user? total?) as for the other 3, not even a guess :=)The three first represent average load during the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes

This is beyond my comprehension
Seems the applet has been added since version 1.3.10 (but the applet itself is much older)
Skidoo can you confirm?You nailed it !
memstatus applet is absent from the debian-supplied version of icewm shipped in antiX16
and is present in the github-forked version shipped in antiX17Someone can test (or ask anticapitalista) ~~ Can the newer version be installed in antiX16 ?

memstatus applet is also part of the jessie-backports version.
You can upgrade IceWM from jessie version to jessie-backports version by taking the following steps:
(1) Add the line
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main
to the sources list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list (or uncomment line if already present).(2) Run
sudo apt-get update(3) Upgrade IceWM by running
sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install icewm(4) Comment the source “deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main” out again.

@Maroc : perfect ! That solves the issue indeed & closes the case.
