This looks good! Thanks for the widget. However, it seem doesn't work with virtual bonding interfaces. When I add, for instance, bond0 to the whitelist, the widget displays no activity at all. It would be nice to have it working for those type of virtual devices. Thanks and kudos.

I have a dell laptop with dell dock that has his own network adapter. If i turn on the laptop with the dock attached, works perfectly with the eth adapter. But after suspend and wakeup (with connected dock or after wake up connect the dock) the network adapter of the dock fails detection. The only work around I had found is to check show loopback, and uncheck it (saving between checks).

New version crashes (plasma crash) if speed digits become double-digit.

reproducible every time.

clearmartin

You mean every time upload or download speed becomes e.g. "12K" (2-digit text with suffix) it crashes? What settings do you use with this applet? I cannot reproduce it.

How did you install this applet? By AUR or by "Download New Plasma Widgets"?

roctheme

Sorry, I think it was my error.
In the moment, I cannot use the pc, where your plasmoid is crashing. But on 2 other PC now it works after updating excellent.

First installation works via Gui, but updating not.
I upgrade all installed plasma 5 plasmoids in this way, because the way via the gui doesn't work actually in Kubuntu 15.10:

I download your zip-file, I overwrite older files via "compare by content" with Krusader for these directories:

~/.local/share/kservices5 only desktop-file
~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.networkMonitor

But now I have seen, that one file was older in the zip-file, because the recently installation via Gui change the file date of your files during installation.

So I have forgot to overwrite the file, which was older in the zip-file.

I see. I'm glad you sorted that out. I've already heard about the non-ability to update already installed plasmoid. Unfortunately I didn't figure out if this is my fault (proper naming of plasmoid when uploading to kde-apps) or the KDE update utility fault.

I try to investigate further and repair my widget or place a bug in kde bugzilla.

roctheme

No, it is your fault, it must be a bug in plasma 5, because I had have problems with the plasma desktop plasmoids after the upgrade to 15.10 on one pc.

On this pc I had have to remove all plasmoids (via deleting all files).

After reinstallation via gui, the gui listed the newly installed plasmoids in the menu "installed". But after a restart, no installed plasmoid was listed in the gui menu "installed" anymore.

I've just tested this use-case and had the same results - no entries in installed section. So I created a bug report for that:

The widget is looking great. Very usable.
Would it be easy to add an option to change the speed between bits/sec and bytes/sec?

Many Thanks.

Sure, should be easy. Next release :)

I think if there are an option to make upload and download speed in one line that will make font bigger with better look.

like this extensions
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/104/netspeed/

greet work, thank you.

clearmartin

Good idea, thanks for feedback and reference to the gnome extension. I'll add an option to show the speeds bigger and in one line :-)

ibrahimMohammad

Thank you for the one line option i tried it and i really like it so i came with some suggestions : )

I think the distance between upload and download is large http://s10.postimg.org/bawrbxv0p/sc4.png so i suggest either give the user the option to set this distance himself or you set it to be good for just 3 digits.

I suggest to make an option to show only upload or download speed.

Thanks again : )

clearmartin
4 years ago

Your suggestions are good, I'll go for 3-digit distance and only upload / download option. Next release :)

ibrahimMohammad
4 years ago

Thank you for the new version i like it.

What about making the distance between upload and download automatically increase/decrease according to digits required for upload speed? i mean when upload speed is 1-digit number then distance decrease to be good for only one digit and if upload speed rises to 2-digits number the distance rises too and so on.

I think it will not be easy but it is a nice feature. at the end i am very happy with the new version thanks : )

clearmartin

Thanks for feedback! Personally I prefer the steady width and spot of upload and download part of widget.

I think it can be a bit disturbing when it is moving. I also think there wouldn't be any space gain since the whole plasmoid should maintain the same width when updating the speed numbers. Otherwise the rest of widgets would be sliding left and right with each speed number update.

But maybe I don't get your idea right.

Hi, can you optimize it for vertical panel?
It's unreadable to me.

clearmartin

Hello! Is it too small? Have you tried increasing Wrapping coefficient in Appearance settings? The speed numbers can also be bigger if you uncheck "Show device names" in the same settings.
