Error installing using 0install

Submitted by Stefan Stuhr (not verified) on Sat, 2006-03-11 12:49.

I get the following error when I try to install System using 0install:

Error updating interface 'http://rox.sourceforge.net/2006/interfaces/System':

Failed to download key from 'http://rox.sourceforge.net/2006/interfaces/AA1A7812B40B0B6E.gpg': HTTP Error 404: Not Found

It seems that the key is missing on the server.

Thanks

Thanks, now I finally have a great alternative to gnome-system-monitor. And with 0install and the new xfce4-panel SVN integration, it could hardly have been easier to install.

The only things I am now missing is to be able to see all the arguments passed to a process, e.g. to be able to distinguish between different Python processes. And a way to pop up the popup menu for processes using the keyboard (Shift + F10).

Except that it already works around Python scripts! But I would still like it for Mono programs and the like.

Suggestions

Submitted by KenHayber on Sat, 2006-03-11 15:46.

OK, I can see multiple ways to do this.
* a new column (optional)
* a tooltip
* a properties dialog

(I'd prefer discussing this further on the mailing list if you don't mind)

As for the keyboard, you can assign hotkeys to each popup menu item, but I'll look into adding the menu hotkey itself too.

Update: SVN version has the menu hotkey support now.
