Quick setup, suited to the desktop interfaces of at least GNOME, MATE and Budgie
if using ayatana based appindicators:
sudo apt install python3-psutil gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1
if using ubuntu based appindicators:
sudo apt install python3-psutil gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1
Then:
git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor.git
cd indicator-sysmonitor
sudo make install
cd ..
rm -rf indicator-sysmonitor
nohup indicator-sysmonitor &Output configurations can be accessed by clicking on the Indicator-Sysmonitor applet, selecting Preferences, then Advanced and then entering text into the "Customize output:" text entry field. Some suggested output configurations are as follows:
Standard Setup Example
â•‘{net} â•‘{publiccountryiso}â•‘cpu:{cpu}/{cputemp}â•‘m/fs:{mem}/{fs///}â•‘
A setup with Nvidia GPU
â•‘{net} â•‘country:{publiccountryiso}â•‘cpu:{cpu}/{cputemp}â•‘gpu:{nvgpu}/{nvgputemp}â•‘m/fs:{mem}/{fs///}â•‘
Another example setup with Nvidia eGPU and AMD iGPU running in the same system
{net} â•‘CPU {cpu} {cputemp} â•‘RD {amdgpu} NV {nvgpu} {nvgputemp} â•‘ MEM {mem} {swap} â•‘ {fs///}
Note: nvidia-smi command should work normally and(/or) your card0 should be the radeon gpu. You can test it with this command:
cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/gpu_busy_percent
If we run this command, we can see the cards:
ls /sys/class/drm/
on the system that was running the config above, card0 is the Radeon integrated GPU and card1 is the external Nvidia GPU.
* Use following string to use custom preview that is shown above. (Proprietary Nvidia driver needed, must be running):
CPU {cpu} {cputemp} | GPU {nvgpu} {nvgputemp} | MEM {mem} | SWAP {swap} | Net Speed Compact {netcomp} | Total Net Speed {totalnet}
Indicator-SysMonitor - v0.9.0
An Application Indicator showing cpu temperature, memory, network speed, cpu usage, public IP address and internet connection status .
Works with Unity, Xubuntu, Gnome-Shell + app-indicator extension together with any other desktop environments that support AppIndicators.
Also works with the Budgie-Desktop
Offers the possibility to run your own command and display its output.
Custom scripts
Create your own scripts (for example in bash). Give the script execute permission (chmod +x scriptname)
A script must output one line of text - e.g. using "echo" in bash
The indicator can change the icon being displayed by recognising the output of a sensor "USE_ICON:full_path_to_.svg"
Set the display order of the indicator
To force the indicator to appear on the left-side of all indicators you must use a override file as described here:
Installation - Budgie-Desktop:
On budgie-desktop based installation - manual installation
sudo apt-get install python3-psutil curl git
git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor.git
cd indicator-sysmonitor
sudo make installbudgie
budgie-panel --replace &
Then use Raven to add the "Panel Sys Monitor" applet
Installation - App Indicator based desktops:
On Ubuntu and derivatives - manual installation
sudo apt-get install python3-psutil curl git gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1
git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor.git
cd indicator-sysmonitor
sudo make install
nohup indicator-sysmonitor &
To remove:
cd indicator-sysmonitor
sudo make uninstall
To install the AppIndicator via PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-sysmonitor
Search in the dash for "indicator-sysmonitor" to run
To install the Budgie Applet via PPA:
open budgie-welcome - Install Software - Budgie Applets
