Description of problem: I have an Intel i7 CPU, 4 cores, 8 threads. Previously (Mageia7), xosview would show all 8 threads with the command /usr/bin/xosview "xosview*cpuFormat: all" and now it does not with the error message "Ignoring unknown option 'xosview*cpuFormat: all'." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xosview-1.22-1.mga8 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. urpmi xosview 2. /usr/bin/xosview "xosview*cpuFormat: all" 3. Error Message: Ignoring unknown option 'xosview*cpuFormat: all'. cpuFormat does appear in the man page as an option. This appears to have been an issue many years ago. This is all I could discover. https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/492271-xosview-not-showing-all-cpus-(just-1) https://sourceforge.net/p/xosview/discussion/104955/thread/801d7911/
Hi, I see the man page includes: +cpus Force the display of all CPUs in the system. This option is equivalent to setting xosview*cpuFor‐ mat to "all". and running /usr/bin/xosview "xosview*cpuFormat: all" here does give the Error message you report, only one CPU displayed, while /usr/bin/xosview +cpus displays all 16 threads.

"xosview*cpuFormat: all" is not a valid command line option. From "man xosview" the X RESOURCES specifications go in a file. From the man page ... "They can be overridden in the usual places (/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XOsview, $HOME/.Xdefaults, etc.)." If you run xosview without any options, does it display all cpus?

Running xosview without any options does indeed display all cpus as does "xosview +cpus", leaving me puzzled as to the change but grateful for your help. Thank you both. This bug report can be closed.
