Internet traffic meter (systray)

Is there an application/program to display live net traffic (e.g. varying bars-green bar for download & red bar for uploads) that sits in the system tray & displays this continuously as one uses the web?

Not that I know of… but for just blinky on activity I like
knemo.

I’ve noticed this;
plasma-netgraph KDE-Look.org
And it’s in the community repo as kde4-plasmoid-netgraph.
Unfortunately, installing with zypper requires downgrading kde and there’s a comment on kde-look about the source code not compiling for 4.1 either.
However, patience is a virtue.

Have KDE 3.x installed (not 4.x), but use gnome as my default desktop.

If you are using the gnome desktop, you can use “gkrellm” (it does not show in the system tray but on your desktop).

I have 1024x768 and i still have plenty of room to leave it on the side to watch these activities developing.
it can display net connection, cpu bars, hdd activity, ram, etc.

There are at least 2 systray-oriented:

Will any/all of these run on gnome desktop?

there is an Internet traffic indicator in gnome for the system bar. go in the system bar, right click, add to Panel, and select system monitor, move it to the system tray and right click on it, and select Preferences and in the monitored resources select Network and deselect afterwards there processor. you can also choose colours for each connection type :slight_smile:

enjoy linux! :slight_smile:
