Description t.schmittlauch 2016-11-01 14:00:43 UTC

The 'system load' plasmoid displays only blank bars when configured to show load for each CPU separately.

How to reproduce:
1. Insert 'system load' plasmoid into a panel
2. Open settings of that plasmoid
3. Choose the following settins:
  - Show: [x] CPU monitor, [x] CPUs separately
  - Monitor type: [x] compact bar
4. save the settings

Expected result: On my system 4 bars should be displayed, each one showing one CPU's load
Actual result: Only one bar is created which is always blank (height=0). The mouseover-tooltip reads 'CPU 0; 0% @ 0 MHz'

CPU worload for all CPUs (no 'CPUs separately') is displayed correctly though

I can confirm that this is still an issue in kdeplasma-addons-5.8.3. There appear to be a couple of separate errors now, one for an undefined variable - memApplication - in SystemLoadViewer.qml, and another that appears to be a failure to retrieve the correct data from systemmonitor.

Here are the relevant log file entries:

The "Cannot read property 'value' of undefined" errors are related to dataSource.memFree and dataSource.swapFree.

The workaround described by spiollinux@googlemail.com does seem to alleviate the "all CPUs" issue in the compact bar display itself (although unsatisfactorily), although the mouseover-tooltip now, in v5.8.3, shows nothing but "System load" without any data.

Comment 2 Jeff Hodd 2016-11-02 07:31:17 UTC

It's my guess that the last error message:

plasmashell[1205]: file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.systemloadviewer/contents/ui/CompactBarMonitor.qml:45:20: Unable to assign [undefined] to QColor

is at the root of the missing cpu display columns.
