# gnome-nvidia-extension

A Gnome extension to show Nvidia GPU information

(https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1320/nvidia-gpu-stats-tool/)

## Supported Gnome versions

The "master" branch supports only Gnome v45+.

For older shell versions, please check out the "legacy" branch.

## Requirements

The extension requires `nvidia-smi`, which should be included with the drivers.

Additionally, `nvidia-settings` is supported as a data source.

If you still use [Bumblebee](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bumblebee), the data can also be sourced through `optirun` (this is untested and may be deprecated in future versions).

## Installation from git

    git clone https://github.com/ethanwharris/gnome-nvidia-extension.git

    cd gnome-nvidia-extension

    make

    make install

Restart gnome shell to load the extension:

- On Wayland, log out and back in.

- On X11, you can also use `alt + f2`, `r`, `Enter` to reload more quickly.

Afterwards, you can enable the extension in gnome-extensions.

## Selecting Properties

By default, no measurements are displayed in the menu bar.

You can open the dropdown menu and select the properties to be shown.

## Icons

For icons we use font-awesome:

We obtain SVGs from:
