How do I use this to view, in a panel, real-time CPU and bandwidth resources on a remote computer ?

I normally use the Trinity desktop (i.e., more or less, KDE3) and am looking to move to the current version of KDE, but I need to be able
to run several widgets monitoring resources on remote systems. In KDE3/Trinity this is easy using the "System Guard" widget, but I don't see how to do it in KDE/plasma 5. This seems like the right widget, but maybe I'm wrong and there's another one that I need to install to do the job?

I don't think it's possible to monitor remote sensors with my widget, but KSysGuard can. I've broken in down here:

Yes, ksysguard is what I use in Trinity(KDE3). But I can't see how to put ksysguard in a panel in KDE5 :-( That inability is what led me to look for a different widget, which is when I found yours.

Hi, this causing Plasmashell crash on Debian 10.2 with Plasma 5.14.5 when in configuration window you go in "settings" and try to go back then in "networks" or "sensors".

Plasma wasn't crashing due to a segfault, but freezing due to an infinite loop. v4 of the widget should fix that bug.

Sorry, didn't see you're 1st question, was aways from home. i used "crash" term because of the need to restart Plasma, sorry. Anyway, glad you find the problem and fix it in a few. Good job ;)

There should be a Dr Konqi icon in the system tray, can you save the stack trace / dev info and upload it in a new issue on GitHub?

Can't seem to get it to show anything except whatever the default unlabeled graph is. No matter what sensors I add, it's still just the default graph. No idea how to change anything.

Can you take a screenshot with the "Spectacle" app (use the delay feature) and upload it to imgur.com. Paste the url to the image here. Are you using v2 or v3 of the widget? What GPU are you using (AMD / Nvidia / Intel)?

Well, nevermind. I was very confused about how this widget worked. It's working as intended. I didn't realize that you needed to click on the widget to show the graphs. Sorry about that.

I just want to add that I don't really have any issues adding sensors manually to other monitor widgets.

Man, this can be the best system monitor ever, but it has some bugs, in my system, it show 3 network adapter when only one is the one I am using in fact, and it does not fit well in my 1366x768 monitor, it needs a scroll on the columns for this

I've installed and use System Monitor Dashboard for a few days. I've been testing it's functionality and usefulness on several of my systems. While I like and think well of it, I've been assembling a list of nits, suggestions and wants. How would you like me to push these to you? I'm reluctant to enter a single large long post with multiple subjects.

If you're willing to create a GitHub account, you can report each suggestion as a new issue.

If not, just make the long comment here, and I'll create the individual issues on GitHub for you like I did for the peerwal's bug report.

I couldn't find a way either here or in github to PM you. I'm reluctant to expose my own or other people's email address in a public forum. Is there a way to contact you privately?

Hi, for some reason I can't get this to work in Debian 9.6. This is what I get when I try to add the widget: https://i.imgur.com/lV8Y3b0.png

I checked for QtQuick Controls and I do have it installed. It's version is: 5.7.1~20161021-2

Thanks

I'm using QtQuickControls2 in order to draw the tooltips. The other "text field" etc controls use the **QtQuickControls1** which is probably what you looked at.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.11/qml-qtquick-controls2-tooltip.html

Debian Stable does have Qt 5.7.1, so I assume it should work with the package installed. Search for "quickcontrols2" (not sure what the package name is).

After you install, either test with:
plasmawindowed com.github.zren.sysmonitordash

If it worked, then restart plasmashell by restarting or running:
killall plasmashell; kstart5 plasmashell

Interestingly enough, I just installed Qt 5.12 in Manjaro and notice a bug. Oops. I'll look into uploading a new version tomorrowish for people with Qt 5.12.

I found the Qt Quick Controls 2 QML module and installed it but it still doesn't work. This is what I get when I try to add the wiget to the desktop: https://i.imgur.com/rguaSf6.png

I installed the Qt Quick Templates 2 QML module as well to no avail. I'm completly lost.

When I type in that command you gave me this is what I get: https://i.imgur.com/oHLGEwP.png

Only thing I can guess is that it's a bug in something in Debian Stable or Debian Stable doesn't have a program that this widget requires.

I'd love to get this working though if possible. This widget looks awesome and it actually shows the fan speeds.

You definitely are. I forgot about "Kicker.DashboardWindow.backgroundColor". That used to be a hardcoded black color before it was added to the API. Just delete that backgroundColor line from the top of DashView.qml (that should be the only DashboardWindow).
