Netspeed indicator

Install Indicator Netspeed in Ubuntu

You can download the deb from HERE and install it manually. But today (may 6th 2018) there is not a version for 18.04 (Bionic) available. You may want to way until there is one, because it is a good networkspeed monitor.

Another indicator is Indicator netspeed for unity found here:

https://launchpad.net/~fixnix/+archive/ubuntu/netspeed

This one also doen't have a version for 18.04 yet, But you can use the 17.10 version.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fixnix/netspeed sudo apt-get update

Since this ppa yet does not have a 18.04 bionic version. So you should edit the ppa and use not bionic, but artful (the Ubuntu 17.10 version) I tested it on my 18.04 Unity Ubuntu and it does work OK.

sudo -H gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fixnix-ubuntu-netspeed-bionic.list

and change the first row into:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fixnix/netspeed/ubuntu artful main

save and exit gedit

(use Sudo -H instead of sudo to prevent the root to write in your home directiry)

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install indicator-netspeed-unity
