Public bug reported: I first noticed this problem in Ubuntu 16.04. It didn't occur in 14.04. I don't use non-LTS versions so I'm not exactly sure when it started.
Basically, the display keeps resetting to the default without me doing anything. So I've customized it like so: gsettings set de.mh21.indicator-multiload.graphs.load enabled true gsettings set de.mh21.indicator-multiload.graphs.cpu enabled true gsettings set de.mh21.indicator-multiload.graphs.disk enabled true gsettings set de.mh21.indicator-multiload.graphs.net enabled true gsettings set de.mh21.indicator-multiload.graphs.swap enabled true gsettings set de.mh21.indicator-multiload.graphs.mem enabled true And it looks like the attached file indicator-multiload-customized.png But for whatever reason it keeps getting reset. I dug further into it, and apparently the cause is indicator-expression-index keeps getting set to different values. One time it was set to 1, and it looked like the attached file indicator-multiload-reset-1.png: $ dconf read /de/mh21/indicator-multiload/general/indicator-expression-index 1 Another time it was set to 6, and it looked like the attached file indicator-multiload-reset-2.png The workaround is very simple: dconf reset /de/mh21/indicator-multiload/general/indicator-expression- index But the problem is that indicator-expression-index keeps getting changed on its own without any intervention on my part.
