I’ve just upgraded my Gentoo-based plasma installation from 6.0.4 to 6.0.5. I had a neat panel on the right side of the screen with a bunch of system monitor widgets (CPU, memory, disk, network, temps). On 6.0.5 they are now all squeezed together and I can’t seem to fix it. Only when I place the widgets directly on the desktop, they look normal.
Additionally, when I modify details of a line chart (e.g. change the color of a sensor), suddenly the line chart disappears and only the text-only sensor stays, with no way to bring it back but delete the widget and add it from scratch.
Nobara update to 6.0.5, can confirm system monitor widget is not working. Config interface is messed up. I can’t no longer place widget on desktop, even place a new one won’t work.
Same here. I’m running plasma-systemmonitor 6.0.5 on Fedora 40 and I’m using the Individual core usage widget on a default panel. Most display styles are useless: The Bar chart style is squished so thin that no bars are displayed, Process table and Applications table crash Plasma altogether (had to delete ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and restart from the command line).
(This is actually a screenshot from plasma5, because I do not have a screenshot of how it looked before the update from 6.0.4 to 6.0.5. But the look was almost identical to this one)
Hi @ngraham ,
yes, it is a thick panel. And no, there’s no grouping widget.
It is just a thick vertical panel in auto-hide mode, with (from bottom to top) a network speed widget, a disk usage widget, a memory usage widget and a total cpu use widget.
All widgets but disk usage are in grid mode.
I think it is due to Plasma bug 489307 (489307 – On a thick panel, graphs don't take up enough space) that you mentioned in another thread.
Hi @ngraham , are there any news?
I see that the mentioned bug has been fixed in Plasma 6.2.0.
BTW, I am on Plasma 6.3.0 ans still see the problem.
Do I have to re-create the panel to see the fix?
Hi @firewalker , how would you want me to share it?
I have already described the types of widgets that I’m using, do you need more details?
As there’s no way (that I know of) of exporting a panel’s configuration with all its widgets, would you elaborate on how do you want me to share the configuration?
