Description Keith 2020-05-04 16:53:02 UTC 
SUMMARY
The "Total Memory" column is blank for processes where detailed memory information cannot be read, even though the "Memory" and "Shared Mem" columns are populated.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start up a VirtualBox VM or a program as root.
2. Open KSysGuard.

OBSERVED RESULT
The "Total Memory" column is blank, so these processes appear at the bottom when sorted by memory usage.

EXPECTED RESULT
KSysGuard should fall back to `totalMem = mem + sharedMem` when it cannot determine how many processes are using the shared memory. "Total Memory" is already an estimate, so it simply doesn't make sense to give up instead of providing a less accurate guess.

Comment 2 Christoph Cullmann 2024-09-23 21:01:08 UTC 
ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task.

If your wish is still valid for the Plasma 6 replacement, please re-open and we can move this bug to the new product, thanks!
