Ubuntu 22.04 support?

[IrenvanderBeekPXL]

Hello. I want to install Sysmontask on my laptop, which will have Kubuntu 22.04 once it is repaired. Can you please add support while I go repair my laptop?

Yep. failing with below error for Ubuntu22.04 version.
Any possible quirks???

E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/camel-neeraj/sysmontask/ubuntu jammy Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

It is because KrispyCamel did not yet put a 22.04 build on launchpad. Compiling yourself should work though, I'm gonna do that with my custom OS project

@satheesh-kk The workaround I tested with compiling yourself works pretty well, on Pop OS 22.04, you don't even have to install dependencies if I remember correctly

I compiled from source on 22.04 but it is missing a large chunk of processes (rendering it pretty useless) including chrome. gnome-system-monitor displays them properly (as does htop, top) but sysmontask doesn't list them. I don't know if this is localized to something that changed b/w the 21.x releases and 22.04, but I can't use it like this as it was a chrome process I needed to kill b/c it had gone rogue and was eating up all my processor time. I see that @IrenvanderBeekPXL responded above so perhaps they could address this and/or let me know if it should be entered as a bug.

I am not a maintainer of this project, but I have seen this issue too. Your apps are generally listed as a subprocess of gnome-shell (and on my system that is listed as a subprocess of systemd). I don't think this is a bug though since it shows the tree of processes.

For python noobs (like me; running Ubuntu 22.04) ...

Steps to download and compile:

Go to releases and download the *.tar.gz file of the desired version (eg, on 9/2/2024 I downloaded SysMonTask-1.x.x.tar.gz)

Perform the following steps:

cd directory_where_tar_gz_file_resides

tar -xzf SysMonTask-1.x.x.tar.gz
cd SysMonTask-1.x.x
sudo python3 setup.py build
sudo python3 setup.py install

NOTE: if sudo python3 setup.py build generates the No module named 'setuptools' message then run the following command before trying to rerun sudo python3 setup.py build:

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools

Verify installation:

$ type -a sysmontask
sysmontask is /usr/local/bin/sysmontask

While in the same directory I went ahead and copied the *desktop file to my environment:

cp SysMonTask.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
cd ~/.local/share/applications
chmod 700 SysMon*desktop

One last step to add as a clickable link in my favorites bar: Super key, type sysmon, right click on SysMonTask and Add to Favorites.
