Unable to run NetWorx in Ubuntu   21 May 2018, 15:14

I am trying to run NetWorx in Ubuntu 18.04, and it doesn't show up at all. Here's what I'm trying to do (want to) achieve:
  1. Install NetWorx on Windows - done
  2. Install NetWorx on Linux
  3. Enable synchronization for devices under the same network

Basically I have two different machines, one with Windows, and one with Linux (Ubuntu 18.04), and I want to track usage across devices as well as monitor bandwidth speed. I have scheduled speed monitoring on Windows, and wanted to do this and monitor bandwidth usage for the Linux machine as well. The machines will be up at different times of the day, so I'm thinking that the synchronization option will merge these stats.

Please, can you advice if this is possible and if there's a way to run this program on Linux?

NetWorx requires the TopIcons GNOME extension to be installed as shown below.

Unfortunately there is no sync setting in the Linux or macOS versions. These are work-in-progress and are different to the Windows version which has been in development for much longer than the versions for macOS and Linux.
