On Ross’s blog he talks about “a project [that] is even more interesting for the geeks out there”. I’m pleased to disclose that said project is OProfileUI a graphical user interface for the OProfile system profiler. Hopefully this should help the amazing performance wizards do their thing. I also hope that this will lower the barrier to entry, profiling and performance improvements are often seen as a bit of a black art but it can be a good way for new contributors to explore the stack.
This was my first project at OpenedHand and so i’m really pleased to see it released and available for other people to try (and improve.)
Oh and it has a cool icon (thanks Andreas.)
Go on, grab it!.
W00t!
very hot.
Cool, I started to write one of these about a year ago, but gave up. Glad to see someone’s finally taking it all the way!
NO more ugly QT3 frontend. No more usability errors. Just the joy of sysprof-like usage. Thanks!
BTW: which version of oprofile is required to run it? Running it got me this “exception” on the serverside which “locked up” the client.

Christopher, if you take a look at the README it will explain where to get the patches you need. There are also upto date packages for at least feisty at http://debian.o-hand.com. If you have any more problems you can drop me an email at the address on that web page.
