Version: (using KDE 4.3.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs The widgets for CPU load shows a load of 100% for one of the two cores on my notebook, while htop reports practicaly no load at all. Calling ksysguard from the command line, both as root and as user, reports a CPU load of more than 50% overall load, but does not show any process that supposedly hogs my CPU. As it is, this display is useless. I suspect that a load from one sshfs copy process that does not show up in the ksysguard display is responsible for that. Apart from that, I find the decision not to be able to configure any System Monitors to display absolute values rather annoying and a serious regression in comparison to KDE 3.5.10. In particular the network throughput is something that I want so see in absolute values. I need to call iptraf before I know whether my line is saturated with a download and I would expect a grpahical applet to hanle this task without command line knowledge. The old ksysguard in 3.5.10 had this feature, where you could chose between relative and absolute values for each and every sensor. I wonder why the whole system of showing the graph in ksysguard and being able to drag and drop it into the panel has been abandoned. I find no advantages in the current setup, but dearly miss many options of the old style sysguard widgets.

Created attachment 38547 [details] System Monitor widget shows high load Also, notice the broken alignment of fonts, cutting of the first letter of each sensor.
I can now confirm that it was indeed the file copy process that showed the high load. I cp'ed a file from a fuse-mount (sshfs) to a local directory and once this process was stopped, the visual load presentation went down to nil. Interestingly, an rsync does not provoke this behaviour.
The system load seems be correct then, if the cpu really was being used by the file copy? So I think this bug report is just a bug report about the lack of axis, clipping text etc?
Not quite. As you can see from htop (see previously attached image), processor load is well below 10%. The monitor, however, reports a value in the skies, which is incorrect.

Closing this as "applies to KSysGuard from KDE4 times". If the issue still exists for the current version, please file a new one.
