Telemetry for KDE plasma

Development
1

FYI.

I have always opted in to fully share my telemetry to KDE.
I got reminded about it when reading up on the whole Fedora telemetry thing so I went and read the logfiles on what is being sent from my computer, and it is wrong, or rather, you are not getting all my info.

Example

    "opengl": {
        "data": {
            "glslVersion": "4.60",
            "profile": "compat",
            "renderer": "AMD Radeon Graphics",
            "type": "GL",
            "vendor": "AMD",
            "vendorVersion": "Mesa 24.1.2-arch1.1",
            "version": "4.6"
        },
        "description": "Information about type, version and vendor of the OpenGL stack.",
        "telemetryMode": "DetailedSystemInformation"
    },

$ inxi -G

Yes, I have a AMD cpu, that I use in reverse prime with my nvidia (ie, my nvidia is only used when I call upon it, for example when gaming), but the nvidia is not mentioned anywhere to you.
Maybe this is by design?
But to me it would be logical for you to want this information.

Edit
No @redstrate I am NOT LOOKING FOR HELP, I am providing feedback, but if it’s not appreciated, please just let me know and remove the post instead of shoving it to the help section of the forum.
Thank you.

From my point of view it does at least exactly what it tells me.
It is nowhere stated that information about the GPU(s) (or CPU for that matter aka. “Hardware information”) would be send just “OpenGL information” which matches exactly your inxi -G output

Or maybe in my case “Hardware information” is just kinda hidden because of this weird German and everything again in English localisation bug?

Well, if you consider that only the current running renderer is all they need then sure. Then I guess KDE is relying on luck to get the report generated while I use prime-run.

To me it seems obvious that KDE would want to know my complete setup, not what just happens to be in use at the moment.

$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon Graphics (radeonsi, raphael_mendocino, LLVM 18.1.8, DRM 3.57, 6.10.0-arch1-2)

$ prime-run glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090/PCIe/SSE2

You were saying? xD

It’s up to KDE if they want data that is correct or not, all I can do is inform them here that they are NOT getting the correct data even though I give them max telemetry reporting. :slight_smile:
