Bug#1119949: plasma-systemmonitor: gpu monitoring pie chart not working always show 0 but in Fedora 43 it works fine
Hi,
I've posted this issue on Kde Discuss as well and one of the developer replied me saying that this could be distro releated and he shared a link he patched awhile ago and the ksystemstats_intel_helper is required for it to work and it requires a special privileges, may be this might help to narrow down the issue perhaps?
This is the Kde Discuss Thread;
https://discuss.kde.org/t/plasma-6-5-2-system-monitor-gpu-monitoring/41246/4
This is the link the developer shared:
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/distributions/2025-April/001572.html
I've also tried the command line version (kstatsviewer) just to make sure it is not the system monitor issue the result is same everything related to gpu are showing 0.
As the Kde developer replied the reason I do have the value work on the application / process panel is because it is using different method of reading / showing the value.
Thank you so much,
David
