Bug#1054200: libkf5sysguard-bin is not a part of the default KDE installation
Package: libkf5sysguard-bin
Version: 4:5.27.8-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: antkaid+debian@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
In KDE System Monitor, there's a very nice feature of displaying the per-app network stats, e.g. Firefox consuming 1 MB/s out of the overall network bandwidth.
This feature requires an extra executable to work, ksgrd_network_helper, which is provided by the package libkf5sysguard-bin.
libkf5sysguard-bin is not a part of the default KDE installation in Debian. I didn't get it after installing KDE.
Thus, installing a default Debian KDE suite gets you the System Monitor with this feature broken: the app-specific Network chart on the "Applications" tab stays silent without any explanations.
It can be fixed by simply installing libkf5sysguard-bin, but for the regular user:
1) it's hard to figure this out;
2) it's not friendly, as the user just wants the System Monitor to fully work, not a manual installation (and selection in apt) of the specific package libkf5sysguard-bin.
I'm not sure where exactly this package should be wired into the KDE packages tree. But I believe the per-app stats are really an important part of the current KDE experience.
