From Marja .... [root@Mga5RC_EFI marja]# LC_ALL=C urpmi ksysguard In order to satisfy the 'netbook-kde4-config|vanilla-kde4-config|netbook-kde4-config|vanilla-kde4-config' dependency, one of the following packages is needed: 1- netbook-kde4-config-5-0.20150308.2.mga5.noarch: Mageia KDE configuration (to install) 2- vanilla-kde4-config-5-0.20150308.2.mga5.noarch: Default configs used for upstream KDE (to install) What is your choice? (1-2) 2 Some requested packages cannot be installed: kdebase4-workspace-4.11.16-2.mga5.i586 (due to conflicts with ksysguard-5.1.2-1.mga5.x86_64) kdebase4-workspace-4.11.16-2.mga5.x86_64 (due to conflicts with ksysguard-5.1.2-1.mga5.x86_64) plasma-applet-news-4.14.3-4.mga5.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied kdebase4-workspace) plasma-dataengine-ocs-4.14.3-4.mga5.i586 (due to unsatisfied kdebase4-workspace) Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) n [root@Mga5RC_EFI marja]# I tried with choice "1", too, but got the same. After installing ksysguard on MGA5RC 64bit KDE Round 8 then rebooting, system came up in Gnome, with KDE not listed in available Graphical environments. Gnome had been included in the original installation, but was not used. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Hmm, you installed Plasma5 ksysguard. Plasma5 DE is conflicting with KDE4 and they can't be used simultaneously so it is normal that it removed several KDE4 packages. KDE4 ksysguard package is provided by kdebase4-workspace package.

Edit: Replace "KDE4 ksysguard package" with "KDE4 ksysguard program" in the above post.

OK! I am now somewhat confused. MGA5 is to be released with KDE4, I assume. Why then, is MCC offering ksysguard for Plasma 5? Plasma 5 has been released by its developers, but if that is incompatible with kdebase4-workspace, why is it in the Mageia 5 (admittedly Cauldron) repositories?
Because some users are happy to use it as it is :)

Fair enough - Particularly in Cauldron!
