"System settings now has a "System Info" icon, which shows the 64-bit in the OS type field of the overview.
Fixed if you ask me, this bug can be closed" Quite the opposite, in fact. If the code already exists to show this missing data then it should be trivial to patch this package and actually fix it properly. It is a very poor excuse to tell people to assemble the information that they may need from multiple sources because of essentially trivial deficiencies in one source. The "System info" doesn't even tell you the kernel or Gnome versions that are running, both important items when a novice user is asked to provide info about their system when asking for help, so that cannot be considered as any replacement for the more information provided by the System Monitor package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-system-monitor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531762 Title: System monitor System tab should show architecture (32/64bit) Status in The GNOME System Monitor: New Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor After installing Ubuntu, it is not clear to the user wether they are using a 32bit or a 64bit version. The System Monitor System tab should contain architecture information so people know whether they are running 32bit or 64bit. It is currently unclear to me where people can look to decide which proprietary binary they should download. "uname -a" solves the problem, but a normal user should not rely on the console for this information.
