Hello and Welcome...
I'm sure you will end up sticking around, I tried many distros, but it was the community/forum that sold me on LL, been here over 18 months now.

torreydale's given you some good starters on the panels/pluggins...

Regarding netspeed.. If it's the gnome one..??, from memory there was some issues with getting it to play nicely with xfce?
But from my ever growing CherryTree notes/repository, I had the following, but have never tried it, sounded a bit scary, just for a plugin...


==========================================================================================

"gnome netspeed" adding to xfce panel indicator,

First you need to install some dependencies and compile it.
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install intltool xfce4-dev-tools libxfce4util-dev libgtk2.0-dev libxfcegui4-dev libxfce4util-dev xfce4-panel-dev libgtop2-dev libxfce4ui-1
Download latest file from the link below and extract tar zxvf xfce4-netspeed-plugin-0.3.1.tar.gz
https://code.google.com/p/xfce4-netspeed-plugin/downloads/list
Navigate to the folder:
Code: [Select]
cd xfce4-netspeed-plugin-0.3.1
Then run these commands:
Code: [Select]
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install
Right click your on the Xfce panel
Select Panel -> Add New Items .. -> NetSpeed Monitor -> Add
==========================================================================================

Welcome to Linux Lite and its forum.

On the System Monitor, it's already installed.  You just have to create a launcher for it.  Right click on your desktop and click on Create Launcher.  For the "Name," start typing in the word "gnome," and an auto-complete option will pop up for the Gnome System Monitor.  Select that auto-complete option and then click on Create.  An icon for the system monitor will be added to your desktop.  If you want it in your panel, you can just drag it to the panel and click on Create Launcher.  I've noticed the System Monitor takes up resources, so I now use it sparingly.  I usually go for the Resource Usage tool that is already included in the Linux Lite build (Menu->System->Resource Usage).

For the weather applet, you open up the Panel tool (Menu->Settings->Panel), and click on the Items tab.  Then you click on the + symbol on the right.  Another window will open up, and from there you can select the Weather Update option.  Click on the +Add button, and it will be added to your Panel.  This is assuming you've added the Weather Monitor using Lite Software first (Menu->System->Lite Software).
Want to thank me?  Click my [Thank] link.

Greetings All

I've been testing Linux Lite for about 2 weeks and just finished installing it on my HTPC (what I'm typing on  now). I've been exclusively using Linux for the past 18 months and still consider myself a Noob with Linux.

I started out with Ubuntu 14.04 and was amazed how well it worked (installed on 3 computers 1 laptop, 1 desktop and 1 HTPC) but after about 3 months got bored with the Unity desktop so off to Distrowatch I went. I quickly settled on Linux Mint Mate (the other OS on this dual boot HTPC). I've tested the top 20 on Distrowatch and always went back to Mint Mate but I'm always curious about other flavors, that is how I ended up here.

I like the looks of LL, and so far I've been able to do what I wanted with little effort, I prefer Firefox so to get Netflix and Amazon Prime video to work I had to do the Pipelight and user agent thing, but it works as expected.

Skype, Chrome with Hola extension, Wine, and Kaffeine all work as expected. Hiccups have been System monitor, Netspeed and weather, but I'll figure this out in time.

Anyways, I wanted to sign up and say "Hey All" and give props to the coders, Job well done.

AFM
