Unable to init server:
after I installed gmonitor, I can't run it as below error, but nvidia-smi run correctly what am I missing?
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run nvidia-settings --help for usage information.
No gpus to monitor, terminating.
That sounds like you are running gmonitor through ssh?
If that's the case, make sure to add "-s" as described in the readme.
yes I am running gmonitor through ssh then when I add "-s", I got another error such as 'No protocol specified'
kyungsoo@workstation:~$ gmonitor -s No protocol specified Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run nvidia-settings --help for usage information.

below is nvidia-smi, seems my gpu is working good

I'm getting the same thing, even with -s.
$ gmonitor -s

Interestingly, both @RonenHong and I are using driver 390.87; I'm on a 32 bit system. @RonenHong, are you on a 32-bit system too? @mountassir, do you normally test on 32-bit or 64-bit?
The reason that I ask is because 390.87 is a long-lived driver and the latest 32-bit driver for my card, while the 64-bit driver for my card has been getting updates.
I am using driver 410.79 on a 64-bit system running Ubuntu, it works on my side.
Can you please confirm Which version of gmonitor you are using? What operating system you are using?
On your ssh window, can you try running the following to rule out gmonitor?
DISPLAY=:0 nvidia-settings -t -q gpus
I see that both of you @RonenHong and @therealbstern are running pascal GPUs, it could be something specific to the drivers for that architecture, I am running a Maxwell GPU at the moment. Once I get some more details, I can swap my card and try to replicate this.
There was a mentionning of some dependency on nvidia-utils in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gmonitor-git/ , might be worth giving that a go.
@mountassir this is result of DISPLAY=:0 nvidia-settings -t -q gpus as below maybe do I miss something to configure?
