Hi,

is it possible launch indicator in ssh console ?

loko@ubuntu:~$ indicator-sysmonitor

That to me says there is no graphical display ... its a gtk issue. You need to have a panel running with appindicators that understand what display they are running under.

indicator-sysmonitor needs a graphical display ... it doesn't run in text mode.

is there a way to set I want auto start at boot, but in ssh, with plan text ?

No plans to support that way of working.

Actually, I use Proxmox to copy a clean Ubuntu template and run a post-install script to have a fully ready and automatically installed VM. This script automatically installs and sets up my VPN, and I would like to display my public IP directly in the taskbar next to the time, all without access to the graphical interface (even if it means restarting Ubuntu for the changes to take effect).

I'm trying to launch with X11 session, but nothing appears in taskbar :

Whats that dark grey blob next to the network applet? Is that clickable?

If you start up indicator-sysmonitor from the command line (i.e. don't run it via autostart) then are there any messages displayed in the terminal?
