Has no one knows how to do that ?

Actually, there are quite some solutions; you may try gkrellm. Open a terminal and type
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install gkrellm then look for it in menu. Its a widget which displays several system information; cpu usage, temps, net load, memory. It even has a mail plugin and many more. You can configure it to always shows on top of other windows so you can keep an eye on those items you want to. Check it out


You could also try xfce4-genmon-plugin. Open a terminal and type
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install xfce4-genmon-plugin once installed, right-click on the panel>panel preferences>items/elements and click on the "+" icon, in the dialog box that just open type in the search bar "gen" and it should appear, click on add, place it at will using the up/down arrows as per your needs. As per how to use it and configure it to show what you want there are many resources available on the web for that. You can start with this https://github.com/xtonousou/xfce4-genmon-scripts
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us :)

@trinidad @firenice03 he's talking about conky-manager, an app to manage conky themes, yes, conky is installed in LL but not the manager app developed by teejee2008 https://github.com/teejee2008/conky-manager I thought it could be installed via his ppa but it seems that I was wrong. Sorry about that.  @Giorgos Georgitsis read here https://github.com/teejee2008/conky-manager/issues/5 and you'll find the solution provided there; a link to download realpath package, so you can install conky-manager.

Hope this helps! :)

The Linux Lite version of conky is already installed. First enable the Widget like @firenice03 describes. To modify what's displayed (like an rc file) open /etc/conky-lite/widget as an administrator with a text editor.

I do believe Conky is installed by default - the LL Widget utilizes it..
Try, enabling Widget in Sessions & Start Up - Under Application AutoStart (put a check next to Lite Widget)..

From terminal I believe you can initiate Conky, by typing --(should it not start)
Code: [Select]
conky &

Should be able to confirm if installed:
Code: [Select]
apt list --installed |grep conky
My Output

Hi @Giorgos Georgitsis  You could add teejee's ppa to LL so it's easier to install conky-manager. Open a terminal and type
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa enter your password when asked and once it has been added type
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update wait till the database it's updated and finally install conky manager
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install conky-manager that's it.
Hope this helps! :)
