Troubleshooting

VPN traffics calculated twice

• Some VPN software creates a tun/tap interface (eg. WireGuard, OpenVPN) and traffics are being calculated twice. Currently interfaces with these naming scheme is filtered out, make sure the interface created by your VPN software fits one of the following:
  • lo: loop-back interface
  • ifb[0-9]+: intermediate functional block pseudo network interface
  • lxdbr[0-9]+: bridge interface created by LXD
  • virbr[0-9]+: bridge interface created by LibVirt
  • docker[0-0]+: bridge interface created by Docker
  • veth[0-9a-zA-Z]+: virtual network interface created by Docker
  • br[0-9]+: bridge interface
  • vnet[0-9]+: virtual network interface
  • tun[0-9]+: TUN (l3 tunnel) interface
  • tap[0-9]+: TAP (l2 tunnel) interface
  • wg[0-9]+: tunnel interface created by WireGuard
  • waydroid[0-9]+: tunnel interface created by Waydroid

netspeedsimplified's Issues

Right click always reset total

Currently right click will only reset in mode 5.

I would like to set a mode and show total and lock mouse actions, but be able to reset the total with right clicking.

Arrow icons

I'm getting squares instead the up and down arrows, sum and the double arrow work fine.
🡳 and 🡱 don't work for me could be a local issue

Need to be able to lock the settings

I understand the great ease of clicking to adjust the monitor. But the fact is there are too many options that if you click it once, you have to cycle all the way back to your preferred setting. We need a way to lock it from changes temporarily otherwise it will just become annoying to some of us who have our UI the way we want it

Colored output [red or any other] when given speed limit /data limit is crossed.

[Feature request]
add a download/upload speed limit option.
when it cross. print it in red color , showing the speed crossed the limit.

you can do same for the total data used , it it crosses the daily limit . print with red.

like normally 3.00 MB/s
with limit
$${\color{red}3.22 MB/s}$$

custom color scheme

with the last update, there is a problem with custom color scheme, as you can see from the bottom image:

I'm on GNOME Shell 40.2

showing weird speed object instead of the actual speed

and this refreshes like the speed does

Using Arch Linux,
Gnome 42.4,
X11.

Fixed width option requesting

The changing width makes other icon move. In the fixed width, it should be:
Arrows: left align
Digital and Unit: right align

GNOME 45 support

GNOME 45 is in beta now, Please add support for it to ensure compatibility with the latest version of GNOME and provide users with access to new features and improvements.

How do I edit the preferences?

In the README it a preference menu is mentioned (for changing things like Refresh time), but I don't see how to open it.

How do I open the preferences menu?
Can you add those instructions to the README file?

Gnome 42 support

Was trying to install this but found out no Gnome 42 support is there.

Debian testing has released Gnome 42, so it's a good time to upgrade the extension.

Lock mouse action breaks position (advanced)

Hello,
if you enable "Lock mouse action", then "Position (Advanced)" does not work correctly anymore.

Position (Advanced): Prefer left side
Lock Mouse Action: ON

Expected:

1. After login, panel is on left side.
2. Open App with Indicator (e.g. Steam).
3. Indicator is placed on right side of net speed panel

Actual:

1. After login, panel is on left side.
2. Open App with Indicator (e.g. Steam).
3. Indicator is placed on left side of net speed panel (Position (Advanced) is not updated if something changes)

While Using VPN, it show double of actual speed

I use wireguard vpn on regualar basis. But whenever I turn it on InternetSpeedMonitor shows Double of the actual download upload speed of the connection.

Please fix this issue or add an option to select network interface to monitor in settings.

Position(Advanced) Changed after unlocking Lockscreen

the net speed indicator is not always to the left after locking and unlocking the screen on Fedora Workstation 37 , i have set the Position(Advanced) to prefer left which stay to the left of the tray icon (AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support by 3v1n0 )until i lockscreen

here are the settings i have set

Gnome 46 Support

Gnome 46 have reached many of the OS'. Please add support for it.

Since the changes from 45 to 46 for extensions were only little and none of the breaking changes were used by this extension, the only thing i had to do to make the extension work was to add the shell version 46 to metadata file.

If its okay, i will be happy to do a PR with the mentioned changes too.

Not Working on GNOMe 42.4 on Fedora 36 Workstation

this is what i get when i enable the extension

it was also mentioned over simplenetspeed issue - biji#37 (comment)

Numbers flickering

As the of the latest update, the numbers are flickering and not displaying properly.
I tried to capture a screenshot but it I couldn't, it seemed that whenever I tried it fixed itself for a second.
I uploaded a video here

download speed is not accurate

I think the download speed is not accurate. My network speed never goes up that much the highest I could get is ~2.5 megs, but the screenshot attached it showing 7 mbps. Is this an issue or I am at wrong?

[New feature] Please add an option to hide the /s part

To save panel space, you could add an option to not show the /s part. It's up to the user to interpret what he sees : for me, something like 3.5m↓ 148k↑ is sufficient to know that my current speeds are 3.5 Mbits/s down and 148 Kbit/s up.

Especially useful on a small 13" laptop, where panel space is precious !

netspeedsimplified crashes gnome-shell on Fedora 40 (gnome-shell 46)

After upgraded to Fedora 40 with gnome-shell 46, the extension crashes gnome-shell (libmutter-clutter.so) when enabled. The crash occurs every single time.

I don't know why it happens and how to get more detailed information (it's not a stacktrace from the extension code). Maybe you any suggestion?

[New feature] Please add a threshold option for speed

Usually I'm not really interested to know that currently there's for example 580.7 b/s of traffic. To me, that's almost the same as no traffic at all.

Could you add a threshold option ? For example, under 10kbits/s I am not interested in having the info, and the indicator could remain at 0 or at ---. I am only interested to see the speed if it exceeds 10 kbits/s.

That would be a good way to easily notice if there is some significant network traffic going on.

VPN filter, Cisco AnyConnect

Hello.
Cisco AnyConnect makes interface cscotun0
please filter cscotun interfaces

by the way, maybe better add feature that can choose interface for monitoring

Persistent (0.0 B/s) instead of it changing to (--)

Hello, I'd like something very simple and that is for the upload & download speed to stay persistent on 0.0 B/s if there's no data being transferred, not for it to switch to -- after 8 seconds.

By -- I mean this. I want it to stay on 0.0 B/s because -- for me, personally, looks like a net speed indicator error.

No need for a toggle, if this would be the default behavior for newer extension versions from now on, that would be great.

[New feature] Please add an option to always show the total transferred data in bytes

I use the mode 3. I like to see the speeds in bits/s. But in this mode, it also shows the total transferred data in bits.

Could you add a mode (or an option) to show the speeds in bits/s, but the data counter in bytes?

Update extension version on the GNOME site

I like this extension a lot and was able to configure it to be a good replacement for the iStat menus and MenuMeters plugins that I've been using in macOS for many years. Compact vertical stacking, colors, good spacing. Very nice work.

However, the version that was installed automatically from extensions.gnome.org seemed to have a lot of bugs (like the bad rendering of the character in the tens column, unreliable font coloring, spacing issues, etc.), which all seem to be resolved by downloading the latest version from here manually and running make install.

Please update the version on extensions.gnome.org whenever you can. Thanks!

Refresh Time keeps defaulting to 6.5

When I installed this extension, the refresh time was 1.5.
I tried to pull it to 1, and it went haywire. It keeps defaulting to 6.5 irrespective of how many times I change it now.
Even reinstalling didn't help, since all the settings were preserved.

Running Debian Testing/unstable with Gnome 3.38.3

Persist data transfer across reboots

Thanks for this sweet extension!
Would it be possible to add two features:

• Remember the data transferred across reboots, persist them to disk
• Is mode 3 the total download amount or both upload and download, it would be nice to be able to see what both up/down traffic totals

Feature setting for daily reset total amount of downloads

I like very much this extension, and I would like to request, because I think would make it even more awesome, to add this feature to allow users to reset the total amount of download in a daily period for the different modes.

Showing error after latest update.

When updated to new version, it's showing an error.

add the option use Bits instead of Bytes

i have the simple feature request, to add a toggle to turn on displaying the speed in Bits instead of Bytes.
in other words: Mb instead of MB or Mbit/s instead of Mbyte/s

thank you so much for the work so far!

the daily data reduced after reboot

[New feature] Please add a button in the settings to easily reset the total transferred data

Right now, with my settings, to do this I have to :

• Open the settings
• Change mode (from 3 to 5)
• Unlock the mouse
• Right click to reset the data counter
• Lock the mouse
• Change mode again, from 5 to 3

A "Reset data counter" button in the settings would be appreciated !

make install eroor

In makefile, it is mentioned convenience.js file, but there is no such file in the file. while installing it is showing
" make: *** No rule to make target 'convenience.js', needed by 'install'. Stop. "

Reporting wrong download speed

My download speed is being reported as 8.8 M/s while in reality it's 12.5 M/s as shown on my conky and other tools (and which is actually my maximum download speed possible).

Funny thing is when the download is being started it first shows 12.5 M/s for one update interval (set to 1.5 seconds in my case) but then jumps down to 8.8 M/s as the maximum value.

I can't tell right now whether the upload speed is reported correctly or not.

Does not work on Gnome 44-Beta

How to make this work on the latest gnome version? may someone's willing to fix the problem.

[New feature] Please add an option to not show decimals

I don't think decimals are really relevant. 45 kbits/s or 45.4 kbits/s is roughly the same information.

Maybe they could have a significance for higher units, for example 3.4 Mbits/s. So maybe an option to show decimals only starting from M or G would be nice.

But even a plain option to always hide decimals would be good enough for me.

Especially on small 13" laptops, saving real estate space on the panel is critical.

Make Indicator more static(reserve space)

Hi,

Is it possible to add an option or natively reserved space for network speed infos to avoid that the plugin block is resized every refresh. if my explanation it's not very clear i drew a diagram

is total sum by month ? its not the same with vnstat package in linux.

Refresh Time setting causes inaccurate speed if not set to 1.0

Works fine when refreshTime=1.0

expected bug line [Line: 334] extension.js

Steps to reproduce:

• set refresh time to 1.5 (anything except 1.0)

Result: The total net speed or separate upload / download gets altered and shows lesser speed than the actual speed

appIndicator is undefined

The title says it all. Just after installation, it shows this error. The panel just shows --
