Hi Susanna,

what version of ubuntu are you using (it only works in Ubuntu, not Kubuntu etc)? You should see a small graph in the right-top corner.

Cheers

Could you open a command line window and start it with 'indicator-multload'? Does it give any error message?

Could you
This is a bit weird. Could you install the version at ppa:indicator-multiload/stable-daily (https://launchpad.net/~indicator-multiload/+archive/ubuntu/stable-daily) and try again?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:indicator-multiload/stable-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-multiload

It does work.Working now on my Thinkpad X220. Have the person reboot their box. Maybe even logout/login? Shows up in title bar. My config is newly installed 14.04.2 LTS. I'm using the regular one, not the one from the PPA.

Yeah, I ve restart like 20 times the machine since I ve install it.
What permissions must have the script? Don t know, maybe is just simple as check the differences between the folders/scripts of your installation and mine to understand why here is not working. Cheers.

Can you help with this problem?
