I have installed axel and set it to get my firefox downloads through flashgot. It works but the Axel window is not visible - so cannot know when the download starts and ends, its speed etc.

I have recently installed Lubuntu Precise. Before I was using the same but the main installation was Xubuntu and did not have this problem.

Is a window created with other console downloaders? (wget, aria2).

start any long download and run in terminal ps -C xterm,axel ww.Also you can try to run xterm from terminal xterm. Try the following variants:

  1. 'Alt+Tab' to take out the hidden window. Sometimes it helps. But I don't know if this combo works in lubuntu.
  2. Write down a command line for axel manually in the flashgot options.
  3. Reinstall flashgot.

When you initiate the download the status is not shown in the terminal installed in lubuntu, but on 'xterm'. All you have to do is to install xterm:

sudo apt-get install xterm

'xterm' comes installed with Ubuntu and Xubuntu, that's why it worked fine when you had Xubuntu with lubuntu-desktop installed.
