I use system monitor with 16.04 in Unity. Currently, I get all the graphs and text indicator for Disk on top panel. I want to have net speed displayed instead of Disk. How can I do that ?

            On bionic apt gives Package netspeed is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source so unfortunately this is not quite working...

          In Ubuntu 18.04 simply open the Ubuntu software app and search for Netspeed. Click to install the app and it will be displayed on your upper status bar on the right side.

              I use Netspeed for Unity for that with Lubuntu 18.04 LTS, and think this link to acquire Netspeed will be helpful; please note there's a version for 16.04 ('Xenial'), so you can disregard everything on that page but the second and third paragraphs, to wit:




              1. sudo -i

              2. add-apt-repository ppa:fixnix/netspeed

              3. apt-get update

              4. apt install indicator-netspeed-unity

              5. Restart your PC/laptop.

                On bionic apt gives Package netspeed is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source so unfortunately this is not quite working...

                In Ubuntu 18.04 simply open the Ubuntu software app and search for Netspeed. Click to install the app and it will be displayed on your upper status bar on the right side.

                                I use Netspeed for Unity for that with Lubuntu 18.04 LTS, and think this link to acquire Netspeed will be helpful; please note there's a version for 16.04 ('Xenial'), so you can disregard everything on that page but the second and third paragraphs, to wit:




                                1. sudo -i

                                2. add-apt-repository ppa:fixnix/netspeed
