SOLVED edit cinnamon applet

[scratch178]

hi

i have mint 13 cinnamon installed and the applet Network Speed Monitor 0.1 installed http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/18

the applet shows the download speed in the panel,

i have a laptop that is always connected wireless, but the applet shows me the eth0 by default.
i always have to manually change it to wlan0.

can someone help me to change the script to give me wlan0 by default?

thx scratch178

That is weird, as the code shows it defaults to monitor to the first interface it finds, but it continues searching and will actually monitor the last interface it finds that is activated! Perhaps as the applet gets loaded the wlan0 is not active yet.

I think in the function _init you can replace this segment of code:

Code: Select all

         // Looks for a network interface to monitor
         let interfaces = this.getInterfaces();
         if(interfaces!=null) {
            for(let i=0; i<interfaces.length; i++) {
               let name = interfaces[i].get_iface();
               if(first) { this.monitoredInterfaceName = name; first=false; }
               if (interfaces[i].state == NetworkManager.DeviceState.ACTIVATED) {
                  this.monitoredInterfaceName = name;
               }
            }
         }

with this:

Code: Select all

         // Start with monitoring the wlan0 network interface
         this.monitoredInterfaceName = "wlan0";

That is simplified and without any error catching, so probably crashing the applet any time wlan0 is non-existent.

thx that worked great!!

even if wlan0 is turned off completly

one more question, do you know how to disable the upload speed?
im not interested in that and it clutters my panel

That is in the update function:

Code: Select all

   update: function() {
      if(this.monitoredInterfaceName!=null) {
         let timeNow = GLib.get_monotonic_time();
         let deltaTime = (timeNow-this.timeOld)/1000000;
         
         GTop.glibtop_get_netload(this.gtop, this.monitoredInterfaceName);
         let upNow = this.gtop.bytes_out;
         let downNow = this.gtop.bytes_in;
         
         this.set_applet_label("D: "+this.formatSpeed(downNow-this.downOld)+"  -  U: "+this.formatSpeed(upNow-this.upOld));
               
         this.upOld = upNow;
         this.downOld = downNow;
         this.timeOld = timeNow;
      } else {
         this.set_applet_label("No net!");
      }

      Mainloop.timeout_add(this.UPDATEINTERVAL, Lang.bind(this, this.update));
   },

Change the following line to what you want displayed on the panel:

Code: Select all

this.set_applet_label("D: "+this.formatSpeed(downNow-this.downOld)+"  -  U: "+this.formatSpeed(upNow-this.upOld));

For example, to only display the download speed and not the upload speed:

Code: Select all

this.set_applet_label("D: "+this.formatSpeed(downNow-this.downOld));
