Plasma-systemmonitor mostly empty

Help
1

Good afternoon,
I have installed Plasma 4.27 on a Pi 5 running RpiOS bookworm. Unlike on my X86_64 hosts, plasma-systemmonitor was not installed by default. I installed it manually. When it comes up, it is mostly devoid of any information. It does pick up processes (and applications) but things like memory, CPU and network usage remain blank.

It is quite possible that there is a package needed to provide this information but I have not been able to identify that. plasma-systemmonitor lists no recommends packages and I presume (but cannot guarantee) that all required packages have been installed. (The ones I checked are all installed.)

Any suggestions for how to fix this are welcome.

This has been a somewhat troubled install. Some important recommends packages such as powerdevil and bluedevil were also not installed by default and had to be installed manually to gain the related functionality. I’m afraid that the Pi folk have not been kind to KDE.

Thanks!

Hank, I don’t have anything running that version. On openSUSE, here is what I see when I look at the package.

My guess is you will get more of what you need from the screenshot at the bottom. Good luck.

I don’t see any recommends. However if I search for Sensors, here is a screenshot of what I see. I imagine you might need some of these, but I am on Tumbleweed and you are on Rpi, so some package names could be different. I can only show you what I can see.

Is it showing text for the things that you do see, and the missing ones normally be graphs or charts? I wonder if it might be an OpenGL related thing, perhaps, and unrelated to Plasma itself? Just a thought. The charts and graphs iirc do require OpenGL.

I seem to recall that OpenGL was not enabled by defualt in RPiOS in the past, but that was quite a few years ago.

Being Debian-based, recommends are not usually installed by defualt, like they are in *buntu.
