Does not show the bits used in the O.S. /computer A 64 bit processor can run 32 bit or 64 bit but this info isn't visible ! in Kinfocenter. So once installed you do not know which program runs in which mode... I like to see if the os runs in xxx-bit mode, my program runs in xx mode or virtualised. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Kinfocenter 2. see summary 3. no info on xxbitmode Expected Results: f.e. 128 bit processor 64 bit O.S. 64 bit KDE 32 bit virtualisation program z 8 bit virtualised program x running emulator ZX SPECTRUM
*** Bug 271017 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Moving this to plasma-systemmonitor as it is much more topcially relevant there. We aren't quite sure how to best implement this though and also not necessarily if it is worth the effort. Looking at the address space might be an option. Reading the elf header will definitely work but is meh (plus excludes everything that isn't elf). Reading the procfs auxv might also be an option. Probably other options too
I'm closing this as I don't really see a clean way of getting this information from the system.
