I want to use indicator-sysmonitor to display an indicator showing that the network connection is up amongst other things immediately at boot on the lightdm login screen.
I followed these steps to install indicator-sysmonitor,
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-sysmonitor
When I try to start it I get a long error message,
$ indicator-sysmonitor
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 2135, in _find_spec
AttributeError: 'DynamicImporter' object has no attribute 'find_spec'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/indicator-sysmonitor", line 29, in <module>
from gi.repository import AppIndicator3 as appindicator
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/importer.py", line 53, in find_module
'introspection typelib not found' % namespace)
ImportError: cannot import name AppIndicator3, introspection typelib not found
What's wrong and how can I configure an indicator for network status via the command line and start it on boot?
