Both individual and total Cpu monitor widgets working using plasma under x11

As shown by the attached image, both the individual and total Cpu monitor
widgets working for me using plasma under x11

Are you using wayland?

CC: (none) => davidwhodgins

Yes, I am using wayland

Just remembered, I have the updates for plasma from core updates testing
installed, so that may be part of why it's working for me.

The update https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32838 will likely complete
testing in the next few days after which they will be moved to core updates.

I just tested plasma under wayland, and the sensors are working for me there
too.

Please wait till that bug finishes qa testing and it's updates are installed
on your systemd (restart plasma after installing the updates) and then either
close this bug as fixed, or add a comment, including the output of
"inxi -v 2" (install inxi if you don't already have it).

ok, thanks!

Being one of those to whom Plasma is a nightmare, I have tried this on up-to-date M9 (not including updates pending) under X11 - but cannot find how to install the h/w plasmoids indicated. I did install a couple of 'widgets', not sure if that is what they are. BTAIM They appeared on the taskbar, but not Systray where I expected to see them.
Hard disc activity: looks sensible.
Total CPU use: looks sensible, both the figure in the launcher and the round graph.
System monitor sensor: icon circle blank, popup circle blank.

I will re-try under Wayland.

Wayland, taskbar 'widgets' ? not Plasmoids ?.
Hard disc activity: taskbar icon & its bar graphs looks sensible.
Total CPU use: both taskbar icon circle & expanded circle look sensible.
System monitor sensor: both taskbar and popup circles empty.

If pointed to these Plasmoids, I will try again. I added the 'widgets' by right-clicking Systray, 'Add widgets"; and choosing from those offered. Found nothing appropriate in the 'System Settings'

The widgets appear on the desktop, not in the panel or systray.

Minimize all applications or select the "Peek at desktop" entry in the panel.
Right click on the desktop and select "Add Widgets...". Type in "cpu" (without
the quotes) in the "Search..." field. Left click on each of the "Individual
Core Usage" and the "Total CPU Use" widgets.

Those two widgets are then displayed on the desktop.

To remove them later, right click on each of them and select the remove option.

just installed mga9 on a new machine (amd based desktop/server), using x11 (no wayland currently) and the same issue with the widgets is there.

With the widgets on the desktop, is ksystemstats installed and running?
$ rpm -q ksystemstats
ksystemstats-5.27.10-1.mga9
$ systemctl --user status plasma-ksystemstats.service

I see the problem.
$ urpmq --whatrequires-recursive ksystemstats|sort -u
ksystemstats

It's not required for task-plasma5-minimal.

Assigning to kde maintainers, to decide whether this should added as a
requires for task-plasma5-minimal or be added to the wiki, or errata.

and it works :) thanks. Probably this package was not installed on my laptop due to upgrade from 8, but it was not present there either. Now works on both machines. 

thanks
