On the Ubuntu 12.04 toolbar, use numbers to display the network speed, CPU load, and memory usage. Install the touchpad manager and gnome-style Application menus.

1. First install indicator-sysmonitor on Ubuntu 11.10.

Sudo add-Apt-repository PPA: alexeftimie/PPA
Sudo apt-Get update
Sudo apt-Get install indicator-sysmonitor

2. Install dstat (required to run a custom script ):

Sudo apt-Get install dstat

3. Download the script written by Andrew

Next we will create a ". scripts" folder in the main folder and download the script to this folder:

Mkdir-P ~ /. Scripts & Cd ~ /. Scripts

Wget http://webupd8.googlecode.com/files/sysmon_0.2.tar.gz & tar-xvf sysmon_0.2.tar.gz

4. Set system monitor to use the configuration in the script.
Run indicator-sysmonitor in Alt + F2. In the toolbar, click indicator-sysmonitor, select "Preferences", and enter:

$ Home/. scripts/sysmon

Select "run on startup" and save and exit. When running on my machine, indicator-sysmon is often frozen during configuration modification. If this happens, use this command on the terminal to kill the task:

Killall indicator-sysmonitor

Then run it again.

4. Configure the script by yourself

 

By default, this script displays the memory, CPU load, and memory usage. You can remove projects that you don't care about. Run in the terminal:

Gedit ~ /. Scripts/sysmon

There are several boolean values at the beginning of the script:

# Settings:
Netspeed = true
Ram = true
CPU = true

In short, you can change it yourself. You can also drum up this script to show something else.

By the way, two useful plug-ins are provided:

Touchpad indicator-This plugin allows you to easily control the touchpad status (enable/disable) and automatically disable the touchpad when you insert a mouse. You can enable or disable shortcuts.

Sudo apt-Get update
Sudo apt-Get install touchpad-indicator

Classicmenu indicator-this plug-in provides unity with applications similar to GnomeProgramMenu

Sudo add-Apt-repository PPA: diesch/Testing
Sudo apt-Get update
Sudo apt-Get install classicmenu-indicator
