Need help to find a 'system tray' app

[Stosskraft]

Hello all, I just upgarded to 12.04 and it is going really good.

I have one system tray at in 11.04 that was the shape of a 'lightening bolt' and it allowed me to change the cpu performance from powersave, on demand and performance. It also allowed for changing the dual motitor set up and other stuff.

I only used it for the CPU settings, but I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the program or how to get it?

Thank you

That would be the Jupiter applet. It isn't part of the official *buntu repositories, but is available in a PPA maintained by WebUpd8.

Fantastic. Thanks loving the new kubuntu

sorry, how can I install it? I added the PPA and then looked in the widgets, when I search Jupiter I only get something for the planets not the power management app?

Ideas?

Just to be sure, after you added the PPA, did you...

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

After that, to install...

sudo apt-get install jupiter

This utility is not a Plasma widget. To start it, open KRunner ([Alt]+[F2]) and type

jupiter

It's been a while since I've looked at the utility, so I don't recall whether it offers a menu option for enabling automatic start. If not, you can do this yourself:

1. System Settings | Startup and Shutdown | Autostart
2. Click Add Program
3. Type jupiter
4. Click OK
