"Plasma Simple System Monitor" = No readings at all

Dasher56 · April 19, 2022, 2:08pm

I have installed this plasmoid/widget on other arch based distro’s without any problems.
Maybe someone can decipher this, maybe could help:

Did you remove it and try it again?

Edit: working for me

Are you sure?
Read the values…

Dasher56 · April 20, 2022, 1:26am

@ricklinux Yeah I can get to there, but no readings: memory, swap, cpu, temp etc. Something missing ?

Stagger_Lee · April 20, 2022, 1:58am

Check if you have the packages ksysguard and libksysguard installed; if you don’t, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll need them.

EDIT - actually, you should only have to install the ksysguard package if you don’t have it; that should pull in libksysguard as a dependency.

ricklinux · April 20, 2022, 3:42am

Okay … i didn’t realize that’s what the OP meant.

ricklinux · April 20, 2022, 3:48am

Sorry i didn’t know that was the problem. I just thought it wasn’t installing. I see now.

Dasher56 · April 20, 2022, 4:03am

@Stagger_Lee
That was the cause. “libksysguard” was installed but no “ksysguard” . Wouldn’t ksysguard be installed by default?

ricklinux · April 20, 2022, 4:12am

This doesn’t seem the same as i have used it in the past. I installed kysysguard and it works but i am unable to adjust the size of it because it has cpu entries on the right side. Before i could size it to a reasonable size now it’s too big and won’t go any smaller so i won’t be using it anymore. Too big for my liking.

Dasher56 · April 20, 2022, 4:16am

Only thing missing is Core temp
Rick Did you try configure > skins

ricklinux · April 20, 2022, 4:26am

No i didn’t really spend ant time looking at anything. Just found it very large.

Dasher56 · April 20, 2022, 4:32am

Depending on your desktop wallpaper: set it to “crystal”

Can anyone get core temp readings?

Kresimir · April 20, 2022, 5:21am

Do you have lm_sensors installed?

Dasher56 · April 20, 2022, 5:59am

yes
“sensors-detect”

```Driver `nct6775’:

ksysguard has been deprecated in favor of plasma-systemmonitor, but it’s still available. The monitor widget you’re looking to use hasn’t been updated since 2017, so it still depends on ksysguard.

ricklinux · April 20, 2022, 4:05pm

Small as i can make it.

So, you’re running an AMD CPU? There seems to be a lack of support for AMD CPU temps with this widget. However:

You could try this version, which appears to have been patched to enable CPU temps for AMD CPUs.

I cannot verify if this is working, as I don’t have any AMD-based computers, but you might want to give it a try.

Here’s a basic manual installation method:

First, uninstall the version that you have now (also, you should probably double-check at ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/ and if there are any remnants there, delete them).

Open a terminal and enter:

git clone https://github.com/Iridias/plasma-simpleMonitor.git

You will now see a new folder in your Home directory called plasma-simpleMonitor.

cd into that folder:

cd plasma-simpleMonitor

Now run:

plasmapkg2 -t plasmoid -i ./plasmoid

You should get a message stating that it was successfully installed. Hopefully it displays your CPU temps.

Finally, you can remove the plasma-simpleMonitor folder from your Home directory (and also the zip package from Downloads). You might want to save them somewhere , or you could simply delete them.

Thanks for your reply.
Installed. Still missing temp.
Will do until I can find a widget to read my core temp.
New pc, surround sound, wireless adaptor.
Taken a while to get things AOK.
It’s been edifying!!

This is the widget that I use to display temperatures:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plasma5-applets-thermal-monitor-git

It’s simple but pretty configurable. I have it sized really small (and set to Fahrenheit). You can choose multiple temps to display.

thermal_monitor

Archnoob · April 29, 2022, 5:03pm

I installed resources monitor and thermal monitor as widgets in the panel and they work well
