        @Lakota Thanks for that. I do my updates via the updates in settings. Not tried via the open store.

        Hopeful in the future it will come as we need a data monitoring. If there is a github for it feel free to add the number here so we can add comments.

                Basically I am planning to install this tool: https://tecadmin.net/setup-vnstat-network-traffic-monitor-on-ubuntu/#

                But we need a frontend for this in system-settings, still looking for a volunteer to do it xD

                  @Flohack this looks idea and something in the front end like the browser pages it currently shows would be idea. Sorry all I can offer help with is the testing.

                    @Flohack Thanks Flohack. The simple web page display of a graph looks pretty good to me. Along with (from a quick read of set up info) a start finish point/date and upper limit alert ideal for quick reference from the settings page possibly under the mobile section.
                    For those with two sim phones would it pick up the two different usages or agregate it under one reading? I know this is probably pilling the work on for those that can and know what they are doing, but it us greatly appreciated by us keen users and supporters of this quickly developing great system.

                      @Lakota Hi, vnstat is capable of monitoring only network interfaces, so all radios, all WiFis, VPNs bluetooth etc would be in a separate graph πŸ™‚

                      That said, we need to find a way how to determine which network "card" name is which function, as this seems kernel dependent. Will be smth like rmnet* or wl* then.

                        Hi @flohack !
                        I just planned to install vnstat to monitor my data traffic (device rmnet0 for my nexus 5), and found this post with a quick search.

                        Is there a way to install it?
                        I tried a apt-get install vnstat, but the package is not available in repository.

                        I'm not used to the UT platform for now, and don't know how to compile package for it.
                        Is it possible to compile it for UT 15.04?

                          @ellypsis UT file system is read-only, you can make it writable too (not recommended), try to run that package inside Libertine, or you can try to make a .click package using Clickable [*] for example

                            @ellypsis vnstat is not installable? Strange, it should be for 15.04 in any case, and also probably also for 16.04. You need to make / writable though, and this needs to be done after every reboot to keep data recording active.

                            After 16.04 release we will hopefully have time to look into this a bit deeper.

                              I was about to post a reply to this post, but I found this bug on GitHub : Mobile data usage monitoring #66
                              Just to let other know that's a work in progress πŸ˜‰
