Installation:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: Ferramroberto/linuxfreedomlucidsudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install Netspeed
Then in this way you can not find the launcher, so after research, this is only suitable for GNOME desktop use, if unity needs to install the following version:
Unloading
sudo apt-get remove netspeed
Installing a unity-enabled version
sudo apt-add-repository ppa: Fixnix/netspeedsudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get Install Indicator-netspeed-unity
Start
Indicator-netspeed-unity &
It will then be found that the above command causes the program to close after the command line is closed, and the workaround is to use "Alt" + "F2" and enter the command above to start.
Set boot up
# open Launch app management gnome-session-properties
