putting a battery status icon into my stalone

  • 772

I'm running Trusty-tahr using fvwm, so I don't automatically get access to the battery status icon that's available in the standard ubuntu desktop manager. I'd like to put the standard icon into my stalone tray, but I can't find a command-line command that will access the icon. I have the package indicator-power downloaded but there is no executable associated with this word.

Thanks for any advice.

    The fdpowermon package provides a battery status indicator that docks to the system tray. So:

    Via a shell:

    sudo apt-get install fdpowermon
sudo apt-get install stalonetray

    Then in your FVWM StartFunction:

    AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I Test (init) Exex exec stalonetray
+ I Test (init) Exec exec fdpowermon

    Changes will be there next log in.
