Can reproduce. Currently times are only formated to minutes Git commit 38f81271bdef2737c0716090314a588bcfcabf43 by Arjen Hiemstra. Committed on 23/01/2023 at 14:22. Pushed by ahiemstra into branch 'master'. Un-deprecate UnitBootTimestamp and use it for the "start time" column Start time is actually the time when the process started, expressed as the number of seconds since boot. So this seems to match the BootTimestamp unit. So bring that back, using far simpler code.

Created attachment 151568 [details] Screenshot showing the undecipherable Start Time value. SUMMARY In the System Monitor application, the "Start Time" column in the Processes tab shows undecipherable values. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch the System Monitor (/usr/bin/plasma-systemmonitor) 2. Go to the Processes tab in System Monitor. 3. Launch an application, e.g., 'gimp'. 4. Search for "gimp" in the Processes list in System Monitor. 5. Look at the value of "Start Time" corresponding to the 'gimp' process. OBSERVED RESULT I've seen numbers such as "3856:33" and "120934:42" as Start Time values for processes just after starting them. In the column definitions, the "Start Time" is defined as "the elapsed time since the process was started." The above values don't make sense as this Start Time in hours/minutes/seconds. EXPECTED RESULT Actual values of Start Time, as defined, in a recognizable format, e.g., <hours>:<minutes>:<seconds> SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
