Hi guys, I am experiencing a weird problem with iStat Pro on Leopard. I'm on a 2.4 MBP btw. When my MBP resumes from standby, the whole system will stutter and my mouse becomes unresponsive. This did not happen when I put my computer to sleep and my dashboard has not started. I closed the widgets one by one and after closing iStat Pro the problem went away. Adding it back causes the same issue to return. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

We haven't had any other reports of that issue but ill check it out and see if i can reproduce it

Alright, thanks. Oh and another thing, the system takes a very long time to resume from standby with iStat Pro running too. The screen will be dark and it seems like the only way to get it back is to press the power button repeatedly. I'll try again when 10.5.1 is out.

no issues that I can see with my machine (2.0 core duo MBP). Does take a little while longer to sleep/wake up compared with Tiger, but I don't think it's istat pro....

I just tried iStat Pro with 10.5.1, and the same thing happened. Basically the whole UI is just very sluggish after a standby. Weird thing is that this does not happen with iStat Nano, neither does this happen on my iMac, also running iStat Pro and 10.5.1.

I can confirm what the first poster said: Whenever "iStat Pro" is active and I swith to the "Dashboard" application, the MBP won't wake up correctly.

I wasn't able to reproduce this problem with "iStat nano", although this should be possible (you just have to find a view in "iStat nano" that will trigger the beforementioned behaviour. This should also give the devs a clue on where to look for mistakes, though, obviously, a simple system monitor shouldn't be able to crash the whole system).

For completness's sake: Running 10.5.1 on a new MBP.

It sounds like it's specific to the SR MBPs.

As we don't have any here to test on, any extra information you can give us will help! If you can get iStat nano to do the same thing when viewing a specific section, then that would really help us.

Here is a test version for you guys to try. It's basically the same widget with S.M.A.R.T drive temperature monitoring disabled to see if thats where the issue is.

The test version still makes my SR MBP crash after wakeup. I have been able to log into the box from remote and capture the logfiles, you can find them here:

http://www.incertum.net/~cite/crash1.log
http://www.incertum.net/~cite/crash2.log

I cannot tell you what PID 227 is in the first log, but PID 113 in the second log is an opened terminal. I'm afraid that both logs are of minimal use to you only, because the only rellay useful piece of information seems to be the message from the NVDA driver, who wasn't able to reinitialize the graphics card (or whatever a "GFX" is) after system wakeup.

Something in iStat Pro seems to trigger a bug in the underlying operating system, which leads to a) the graphics card not waking up and b) the wireless network card having severe trouble after wakeup. The logs don't even tell us if iStat Pro is to blame for that or if it's the Dashboard itself.

Sorry that it didn't work out :-(

I just want to confirm the original posters problem. I'm seeing the same behavior on my 2.4GHz MBP (Santa Rosa) with iState Menu running.

Actually, + a bunch.

See this thread on the Apple support boards.

Wasn't sure if this had been reported here, but I see it has.

i can confirm i had the same problems, i was using the istat pro widget and the battery widget, i would test it but i'm pretty sure it was just the pro doing it for me, once i removed it all then my MBP 2.2 w/leopard 10.5.1 started working like new again, btw, i miss my istat widgets, i feel out of place now, my dashboard just isn't the same

Here is an update you can test. We still think the problem is a bug with OS X not istat pro but we are trying to work around it.

I've been running this version for the past 5 days with multiple cycle of sleep/use and the issue has disappeared !! Great work, thanks a lot. iStat Pro is now back on my Macbook Pro (BTW it's running 10.5.1)

Ok great. We will wait to hear from a few more people to make sure its really fixed then we will do a public release
