[SOLVED] How to view Download Speed and Upload Speed on Panel instead of conky?
[SOLVED] This seemed to have not worked before but on a closer look xfce package xfce4-netload-plugin 1.4.0 works well. This was pre-installed into MX Linux and does the job. None of you seem to be using xfce, any reasons?
MX x86_64 Xfce 4.18 Xfwm4 with panel xfce4-panel & mx-conky
file of the conky on pastebin
or
is what I am after, I don't have a plugin for xfce that works.
I have the config file for this particular file and I have uploaded it in pastebin, I can make it appear on panel if I get the command, but I don't know what command conky is using. I am pretty sure one can get that if they have access to this particular conky file. Unfortunately, I am not THE ONE.
Are you THE ONE? If you are, then help me please :')
There's a plugin for that: https://github.com/ccrisan/xfce4-netspeed-plugin
For a command, it's kind of complicated because you only have totals, there's no built-in instantanous network speed. The network speed in an single instant is always either zero or full bore: either data is being transmitted/received or it isn't. You need to average over time with multiple samples. So if you want bits per second, such a command would need to at least take a sample, wait a second, take another sample, substract the two, then return the result. Ideally you want to sample over a few seconds otherwise it'll still be pretty much all over the place. So the panel plugin is a better idea for that, as it'll do the math and averaging for you.
this doesn't work for me. There is no
configfile in the folder. But there are someconfigure.acconfigure.ac.inwhen I try to run them I get this error(base) bob@bob:~ $ sh '/home/bob/Downloads/xfce4-netspeed-plugin-master/configure.ac' /home/bob/Downloads/xfce4-netspeed-plugin-master/configure.ac: 1: dnl: not found /home/bob/Downloads/xfce4-netspeed-plugin-master/configure.ac: 2: dnl: not found /home/bob/Downloads/xfce4-netspeed-plugin-master/configure.ac: 3: dnl: not found /home/bob/Downloads/xfce4-netspeed-plugin-master/configure.ac: 4: dnl: not found /home/bob/Downloads/xfce4-netspeed-plugin-master/configure.ac: 6: dnl: not found /home/bob/Downloads/xfce4-netspeed-plugin-master/configure.ac: 7: dnl: not found /home/bob/Downloads/xfce4-netspeed-plugin-master/configure.ac: 8: dnl: not found /home/bob/Downloads/xfce4-netspeed-plugin-master/configure.ac: 9: dnl: not found /home/bob/Downloads/xfce4-netspeed-plugin-master/configure.ac: 11: dnl: not found /home/bob/Downloads/xfce4-netspeed-plugin-master/configure.ac: 12: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")frankly this is not worth the time
You need to compile it first.
configure.acis not a shell script.
What's your distro? What WM or DM?
