How To Fix wmfire: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu wmfire is provided by wmfire package.

wmfire is:

A Window Maker (or similar) dockapp which shows your current CPU usage as a roaring fire.

It can monitor the average cpu load, or individual cpu load on SMP computers. Additionally it can monitor the memory, network load, a file or just be set to show a pretty flame. On entering the dock a burning spot replaces the cursor, and after two seconds symbols to represent the current monitor are “burnt” onscreen. The flame colour can also be changed.

It uses the GDK library to improve its speed - using less than half the CPU of the original program.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install wmfire

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install wmfire.

sudo apt -y install wmfire

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install wmfire
