I found the speed value of network monitor in System Monitor cannot be shown after upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04. Including indicator-multiload and dstat



Example 1:



I can see the download speed is 467KB/Sec in firefox Downloads, but nothing shows (zero) in Network History
firefox downloading



Example 2:



In the following image, git downloading speed is 358KB/Sec, but the receive/send value in dstat is still 0. And nothing shows in indicator-multiload



git download




I can get that, the network speed monitor is disabled somehow. How can I make it right?







Some more information on my network interface

As @Aditya and @Bryan suggested, this is the bug in kernel, and it can be fixed by update kernel.



For example:
My system is Ubuntu 14.04. The version of kernel is 3.13.0, and the system is 64bit (amd64).



They all can be got by commands as blew:



┌─ (marslo@MarsloJiao ~) ->
└─ $ uname -r
3.13.0-30-generic


OR



┌─ (marslo@MarsloJiao ~) ->
└─ $ dpkg -l | grep "linux-[a-z]*-"
ii linux-headers-3.13.0-24 3.13.0-24.47 all Header files related to Linux kernel version 3.13.0
ii linux-headers-3.13.0-24-generic 3.13.0-24.47 amd64 Linux kernel headers for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-headers-3.13.0-30 3.13.0-30.55 all Header files related to Linux kernel version 3.13.0
ii linux-headers-3.13.0-30-generic 3.13.0-30.55 amd64 Linux kernel headers for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-headers-generic 3.13.0.30.36 amd64 Generic Linux kernel headers
ii linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic 3.13.0-24.47 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-3.13.0-30-generic 3.13.0-30.55 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic 3.13.0-24.47 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-extra-3.13.0-30-generic 3.13.0-30.55 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-generic 3.13.0.30.36 amd64 Generic Linux kernel image
ii linux-libc-dev:amd64 3.13.0-30.55 amd64 Linux Kernel Headers for development
ii linux-sound-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu4 all base package for ALSA and OSS sound systems





So, the following steps can fix the problem:




  1. there are three deb packages should be downloaded from /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.1-trusty first:




  2. Install all these debs




    • $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb


  3. Reboot your system




    • $ sudo reboot







Bingo! The network speed back to the system monitor!!
