Specifically the area where the upload/download speed is captured and calculated?

I believe I've noticed the download speed displayed (updated every two seconds apparently) spikes at the end of an actual download, so wanted to browse around the code to see if I might be able to figure out anything that can be fixed there to not do that.

Code: Select all

Where's the code for the Network Monitor desktop widget?

KDE code is available from the https://cgit.kde.org

Network Monitor (System Monitor): http://notmart.org/blog/2015/02/getting ... m-monitor/
is part of the plasma-workspace.

Plasma-Workspace is installing: /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.systemmonitor.net/

Thanks, have been able to locate the code mostly, can't figure out if that spike is due to KDE/Plasma code (probably not) or whether the issue is somewhere lower level in the networking stack. Anyways, query resolved.

Anyhoo, if anyone cares, made a small change to my local copy of net.qml to show speeds in bits per second (like "Mbps" or "Kbps" depending on actual data value) and copied it to ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.systemmonitor.net/ folder structure copied from /usr/share/plasma location, see change here: https://github.com/vjr/plasma-workspace ... 314e6b7c95

Seems easier to me to follow speeds over bits per second rather than the fixed "KiB/s" unit

Also edited Applet.qml (locally only) to change the interval from 2000 to 1000 for me.
