I'd like to periodically display my speedtest download speed result in indicator-sysmonitor.
speedtest-cli has a somewhat trimmed output if you run
$ speedtest-cli --simple
Ping: 50.808 ms
Download: 10.87 Mbit/s
Upload: 4.47 Mbit/s
Is there any way to trim the output even more, down to just the download speed numeral?
I have a ThinkCentre M82p. I'm trying to install Ubuntu but it keeps saying OS not found regardless of what I do (installed fresh ubuntu, startup-repair from live cd, even tried a new drive), secure boot seems to be the culprit. I just can't find the option to disable it.
It's usually under security or startup correct? http://i.imgur.com/uzo6WJs.jpg
Though if secure boot was the issue wouldn't it prevent me from booting from ubuntu live usb in the first place, let alone install it?
This mostly happens when the computer starts back up from sleep, but it's also happened randomly during use, though less frequently. About 1 in 5 times from sleep, during use I could count on my hand. It's been happening for a couple of months now on 16.10.
It seems to affect most apps, firefox, my-weather-indicator complains that it has no internet access, etc. Chrome on the otherhand still works fine and gets full internet access. Seems to be the only app that's not affected, though I haven't tested many.
I'll still connected to WiFI home network, just certain apps don't get internet. Restarting the apps proves futile. Changing from 5ghz to 2.4ghz wifi doesn't change anything. Neither does restarting networking with systemctl restart networking nor ifdown -a and ifup -a or using any of the GUI options in the networking applet. The only thing that has brought it back to normal has been rebooting my computer.

I've tried many recommended solutions from old questions but nothing seems to help.
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5 (with all the missing keys)
I installed lauchpad-getkeys which is supposed to restore keys automatically
Any ideas?
My laptop's webcam has the common too dark issue, and what fixes it is using v4l2ucp and activating "Exposure, Auto Priority". The problem is, the setting reverts after every reboot. Any way to make it persistent?
I'm connecting using VPNBook servers and it works fine with this command:
sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/vpnbook-udp-53.ovpn --auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/password.txt
but I just can't seem to figure out how to stop it without a reboot.
I've tried service openvpn stop and /etc/init.d/vpnbook stop, but that doesn't seem to affect it.
I'd like to run this command without having to open up terminal every time.
sudo openvpn --config /home/ubuntu/Documents/vpnbook/vpnbook-euro2-udp25000.ovpn --auth-user-pass /home/ubuntu/Documents/vpnbook/password.txt
Would it be possible to make a script launchable from Unity's launcher?
As seen here http://i.imgur.com/9tySBEi.png, theres little contrast between the greys.
I'm using the FlatStudio theme with Faenza Dark icons. I'm assuming it's because the icons are for a dark theme, thus using a light font color.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this?
EDIT: Updating to Ubuntu 13.10 solved this issue for me out of the box.
I'm trying to get some control over the brightness of my Samsung QX411 (Integrated Intel graphics) on Ubuntu 3.04 (though I have the exact same issue on 12.04 and on Mint)
Using FN+up/down lowers the screen brightness from max to one peg down or back up. If I try to bring the brightness down any more, it flickers but stays the same.
I have full control of the brightness in Settings, but that's delicate and gets reverted to full max if I open up the brightness settings again, use fn+up/down, the screen goes into power saving, or after log out.
The closest I got was adding
acpi_backlight=vendor
to a line in /etc/default/grub, [source]
I could consequently lower the brightness a couple of pegs down to the minimum with FN+down, but then it's as if the problem got inversed, and I'd get stuck in the bottom tier, I could only increase the brightness by one peg and back down. Rebooting would revert to max brightness.
Adding
acpi_osi=, acpi_osi=Linux, acpi_osi=vendor, acpi_osi='!Windows 2012', acpi_backlight=Linux, acpi_backlight='!Windows 2012'
instead didn't do anything for me.
I've also tried adding
echo 2000 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness to /etc/rc.local,
where my max value from cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness is 4648, which didn't do anything. (same result with echo 2000 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness) source
Samsung tools also didn't help in this regard.
I've spent days on this, it's getting quite frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
